## Summary

xAI launched **Data Bot** on November 2, 2026, as a **Shared Bot** inside Grok, built by SpaceXSI’s data science team to automate warehouse queries and analytics. The team, which had become a bottleneck for colleagues’ routine questions, developed the bot to offload repetitive tasks while preserving its expertise for complex work.

Data Bot handles metrics, experiments, visualizations, and dashboards using shared skills and memory controls. It can break down changes by segment, run A/B tests, generate charts, and create reusable dashboards. Teams like product managers, marketers, and revenue growth directors use it for real-time investigations, campaign analysis, and progress tracking. xAI estimates the bot handled **70 hours** of work in its first week, reducing the team’s load while still requiring human oversight for nuanced analyses. The bot integrates with Slack for scheduled reports and follows team conventions for consistency.
