Introducing Grok Voice 3.0
xAI releases Grok Voice 3.0, a speech-to-speech model now available in the Voice Agent API. It delivers top benchmark results, sub-second latency, and lower task costs, while powering voice experiences and customer support at Tesla and SpaceX.
The world’s most intelligent voice model.
Today, we’re announcing Grok Voice 3.0, the world’s most intelligent speech-to-speech model. It sets a new record for resolving customer support calls, has class-leading latency at under one second, and costs less than other frontier models. Grok Voice powers millions of conversations a day across Tesla and SpaceX, and is available today in the API at the same price as its predecessor.
The Most Accurate Voice Model
In Artificial Analysis’s independent testing, Grok Voice 3.0 ranks #1 on the Speech-to-Speech Index, with a score of 86.9. The Index combines speech reasoning, τ-Voice, and preference and task success from blind head-to-head calls. Grok Voice 3.0 also scores 97% on Full Duplex Bench, a measure of how naturally it handles pauses, turn-taking, and interruptions.
Speech-to-speech benchmark comparison between Grok Voice 3.0 and competing models, per Artificial Analysis.

On EVA-Bench, ServiceNow’s benchmark for enterprise voice agents, Grok Voice 3.0 achieves the highest accuracy score at 74% and is the best-performing model when jointly scored across accuracy and customer experience.
“Grok Voice 3.0 sets a new Pareto frontier on EVA-Bench, ServiceNow’s open-source benchmark scoring voice agents on accuracy and experience across 200+ realistic enterprise scenarios. It pairs top accuracy with a natural, responsive conversation, setting a new standard for what enterprises can expect from AI on the front line of customer service.”
Nitin Aggarwal, Senior Director of Product Management, Agentic Evals and RAI, ServiceNow
Used by Millions of Customers at Tesla & SpaceX
Grok Voice 3.0 handles millions of conversations a day in Tesla vehicles. Drivers can use Connectors for simple requests like checking their calendar or answering an email, and Grok Bot for bigger tasks like ordering a coffee or booking dinner—all completely hands-free (see it on X). Grok Voice 3.0 also powers Grok Bot’s voice mode.
Starlink call centers use Grok Voice to answer 20,000 customer calls every day across multiple languages. Roughly 70% are resolved with no human in the loop, and one in four sales calls ends in a purchase before the caller hangs up. A single agent built on Grok Voice 3.0 verifies customers, troubleshoots hardware, issues credits, and ships replacement equipment.
Pricing and Availability
Grok Voice 3.0 is available today in the Voice Agent API at $0.08 / min ($4.80 / hr), the same price as Grok Voice 2.0. Agents using grok-voice-latest have already been switched over automatically, with no changes needed.

Introducing The X Subscription
xAI launches The X Subscription, bundling Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium in one plan with shared AI usage. It’s available to new customers, with switching rolling out to existing subscribers.
Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium, all on one plan.
Today we’re introducing The X Subscription, which brings together Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and X Premium in one plan. Over the next few days, we’ll make it available to everyone globally.
For the first time, one AI subscription supports the full path from thinking and creating to building and sharing.
- Grok supports chat, voice, and image and video generation.
- Grok Bot gives you AI teammates that get work done.
- Cursor provides leading local and cloud coding agents.
- X adds a checkmark, creator tools, and fewer ads, with higher tiers removing ads from the timeline entirely.
Paid plans on The X Subscription include a generous pool of Grok model usage shared across Grok and Cursor. Each comparable new tier provides more usage-per-dollar than the plan it replaces.
Your shared pool covers Grok models whether you use them in the Grok apps, the Grok tab on X, or Cursor. Each X Subscription plan includes at least twice as much coding usage with our models as the comparable Cursor plan. With the new plans, third-party models are still available in Cursor on Premium and above. Usage is billed separately at API list prices, through top-ups.
The X Subscription is available to new customers starting today.
We’re also rolling out the option to switch for existing SuperGrok, Cursor, and X Premium subscribers. You’ll see it in your account billing settings when it’s available to you. You can keep your current plan, or switch and get a prorated refund for your old plan.
Plans and pricing
The X Subscription gives you Grok, Cursor, and X for roughly what a comparable standalone plan for one of those products used to cost.
Plan Price What’s Included Included Usage Free $0 Daily access to Grok, a starter allowance for Cursor's coding agents, and standard X Limited Plus $8/month More AI usage in Grok and Cursor, plus a checkmark, creator tools, and fewer ads on X Base Premium $30/month The benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, previously $90/month combined 4x Plus Plan Super $100/month All of the above features 15x Plus Plan Ultra $200/month All of the above features 50x Plus PlanFor further details on pricing, included usage and eligibility see pricing page.
One subscription for Teams and Enterprises
Team users get Premium, Super, and Ultra on The X Subscription at the same per-seat prices as individual plans. That's priced lower per seat than older Cursor Teams but now includes 3x more coding usage, plus SSO, admin controls, consolidated billing, usage analytics, and SOC 2 compliance.
Enterprise customers can manage Grok and Cursor from one dashboard, with a single usage pool across both products. Our sales team is ready to help you get started.
Keep your current plans or move to The X Subscription
Nothing changes for existing SuperGrok, Cursor, or X Premium subscribers. You can keep your current plan, price, and features or move to The X Subscription.
Switching comes with limited-time offers, which you can see in your account billing settings.

Team Bots: AI coworkers that learn from your team
xAI launches Team Bots, shared Grok Bots that give teams the same context, tools, and memory across Slack and connected apps. Public beta on Teams and Enterprise plans includes pre-built bots for sales, product, marketing, and data workflows.
Give a Grok Bot the files, apps, and expertise it needs, then share it so your whole team can work from the same context.
Today we’re launching Team Bots, Grok Bots that work and learn alongside your team. Give one access to the files, apps, and expertise it needs, then share it so everyone can work from the same context.
At SpaceXAI, Team Bots brief account teams each morning, coordinate engineering projects, and answer data questions across the company. Here’s how they work, how we use them, and how to build one for your own workflow.
Team Bots bring context, tools, and memory together
You build a Team Bot around a role or workflow your team shares. Everyone gets access to the same Bot and its expertise, while still being able to work with it individually.
Every Team Bot brings together four things that help it do its job:
- Context gives it the relevant files, instructions, and skills, from brand guides to internal documentation.
- Plugins let it work in applications such as Salesforce, Notion, and GitHub. They can be connected by each person or configured for the whole team.
- Credentials let it securely access third-party APIs that do not have a plugin.
- Memories help it retain what it learns and improve at its role over time.
Although the Bot is shared, each person’s conversations with it remain private. The Bot keeps separate context and memories for each user while drawing on the skills shared across the team.
Teams can also collaborate with a Team Bot in Slack. Each Team Bot has its own handle, so you can invite it to a channel where everyone can ask questions, contribute context, and see its responses.
Team Bots take on work across SpaceXAI
At SpaceXAI, we’re using Team Bots in some of our most context-heavy workflows. Here are four examples from Sales and Customer Success, Product and Engineering, Marketing, and Data Analytics.
Sales and Customer Success
At SpaceXAI, every major sales account has a dedicated Team Bot. Each Bot is shared by the account executive, customer success manager, solutions architect, and sales leader.
Every night, the Bot reviews company news, recent Gong calls, Notion docs, and relevant Slack threads. Each morning, it posts a briefing in the account’s Slack channel with what changed and what each person should do next, including drafts tailored to their role.
Throughout the day, account teams use the Bot in Slack to assess strategy, check its thinking against account data, and plan next steps. The Bot remembers the decisions teams make and builds rich context over time. As people rotate on and off the account, it becomes the system of record and can quickly bring new team members up to speed.
Harper, an insurance company serving small businesses, built a Team Bot to identify customers with lapsed policies and help them reinstate their coverage, reducing manual work for its team and recovering substantial savings for customers.
“We initially had to manually check every customer through three platforms, get their balance details, and send them personalized emails. We built a Team Bot in 24 hours to automate this, saving our customers over $120,000 from hundreds of policies. This is now an ongoing engine for us, saving us time and our customers' money.”
Dakotah Rice, CEO, Harper
Customer Bot
A shared bot for one customer account. It keeps the AE, CSM, SA, and Sales Leader on the same page, posts a weekday morning brief, and drafts each person's next move.Product and Engineering
Our Engineering Team Bot works from a project’s Slack channel and connects to Notion, Linear, Hex, Datadog, and Cursor. It follows product decisions, triages bug reports, creates tickets, and launches Cloud Agents to handle well-defined fixes.
We taught the Bot our shipping process through skills. It knows how to handle PR reviews, when to ask the team for help, and what evidence a change needs before it is complete. It coordinates the work across tools and agents, then reports progress and blockers in Slack.
We used this setup while building Team Bots. The Bot steered a Cursor Project that orchestrated hundreds of Cloud Agents, helping a five-person team ship more than 100 PRs a day and launch Team Bots in a few weeks.
EPD Teammate
The coordinator for your EPD team's project or feature. It keeps up with the project's Slack channels, files clear bugs in Linear, and runs Cursor cloud agents that return green, verified PRs, so the whole team stays in sync.Marketing
Large marketing teams spend considerable time keeping their brand, messaging, and voice consistent. We built Marketing Bot to make that work easier.
We gave the Bot access to our brand guidelines, blog posts, and social copy. Whenever someone shares a draft for approval in Slack, it reviews the work against our voice and latest messaging. Regional teams can get feedback and keep moving in their own time zones without waiting for an approval cycle at HQ.
For website and SEO changes, Marketing Bot carries the work from review to launch. Once a content update passes review, the Bot makes the change and posts a preview link in Slack for final sign-off. Anyone on the marketing team can ship website updates without filing a ticket or waiting on engineering, and every change goes through the same brand and SEO checks.
“We’re building toward Team Bots for every marketing function. These Bots help us dig into market and customer intel, show up in AI answers, review launches, and tell us what’s working.”
Angela Ferrante, Head of Marketing, Amplitude
Marketing Bot
Keeps your marketing team on-brand. Reviews any artifact against your brand guidelines and latest messaging, and takes approved website and SEO changes from review to preview and sign-off, so every region can ship on its own schedule.Data Analytics
Our data analytics team receives dozens of requests each day for one-off analyses. It built Data Bot so anyone at SpaceXAI can get answers without waiting for an analyst or setting up warehouse access.
Data Bot uses shared, read-only credentials to query approved tables in Databricks. It also connects to Datadog, Hex, and Statsig to investigate questions and present the results.
The data analytics team had already spent two years building a library of skills for working with more than 45,000 tables. It gave that existing library to Data Bot, including instructions for finding the right data, analyzing feature usage for fraud, following SpaceXAI’s chart standards, and safely updating company-wide dashboards. Data Bot also remembers corrections to its queries, so what it learns from one person improves the answers it gives everyone.
Data Bot
Answers your team's one-off data questions from your warehouse with read-only queries, clear metric definitions, and charts. It remembers every correction and confirmation, so answers get better for everyone over time.Get started with Team Bots
