Driving between jobs, or just faster talking than typing? You can talk to Grok Bot instead of writing. Here's what xAI's changelog says about voice, checked on Oct 28, 2026.
Voice chats with your Bot
- Memory: the changelog says voice calls can draw on your earlier calls and your recent chat with the Bot.
- Staying connected: if a voice chat's connection drops, the call reconnects and continues the same conversation, and a call from your phone wakes the Bot's sleeping computer so it can work with what you said.
- Hanging up early: if you hang up while the Bot is still working on your request, it finishes and posts the result in the chat.
- Your settings: a Bot keeps the voice, speed, and language you set for it, and voice calls offer 0.5x speed.
- Teams: teammates can start a voice chat with a Team Bot, and the call stays in their own conversation with it.
Dictation and voice input
Per the changelog, you can press or hold ⌘D (Ctrl+D on Windows and Linux) to dictate into the message box, and dictation writes words in while you're still speaking. Voice input detects the language you speak instead of assuming your app's language.
Voice memos
While a Bot's voice memo plays, its transcript highlights each word in sync with the audio, and clicking a word jumps playback there.
