How Do I Use Voice Chat in Grok Bot?

Short answer

Open a Bot’s chat, leave the message box empty, and click the waveform button at the right end of the composer. Its tooltip says “Start voice chat”. Allow microphone access if asked. The Bot answers out loud and keeps listening until you hang up.

As of Oct 26, 2026 (Grok Bot desktop app v0.75.8).

Steps

Open the chat with the Bot you want to talk to.
Make sure the message box is empty. Cursor’s help says the button only shows then.
Click Start voice chat. Desktop shows “Connecting…”, then the Bot starts talking.

During the call

Mute / Unmute your microphone, or Hang up to end.
Show transcript to read along.
Show settings to change the Voice, Speed and Language. See how to change the voice.
Only one voice chat runs at a time. Voice chat works on desktop and on the phone app.

Voice chat or dictation? Voice chat is a live conversation. Dictation types your words into the box so you can edit them before sending. The waveform button has no keyboard shortcut, while dictation is Ctrl+D (Cmd+D on Mac).
