xAI: a Team Bot shares files, memory and access with the whole team
On 28 September 2026, xAI launches Team Bots. A role bot receives the files, applications and credentials the work needs, then it is shared. Everyone works from the same context. Memory keeps what it learns.

Key points
Sharing the bot is not sharing a conversation. It is sharing what it is allowed to open. A team plugin on GitHub, Notion or Salesforce, or a credential for an API without a plugin, belongs to the bot, not to one person.
What changes
The page is dated 28 September 2026. A Team Bot is built around a role. Each person can talk to it alone, but the expertise, the files and the memory are the shared bot’s. The cited plugins include Salesforce, Notion and GitHub, connected by one person or for the whole team.
Credentials are for APIs that have no plugin. The page says they allow secure access. It does not say where those secrets are stored, or who on the team can read them back.
What leaves
An internal guide dropped into the bot’s context becomes readable by anyone who has the bot, and by the service that runs it. A memory that “keeps what it learns” holds excerpts from one person for the next. It is not a vault per user.
Connected applications send and receive. The bot is not a local summary of your files. It is a shared desk, at xAI, with keys.
What we did not verify
We did not create a Team Bot, or see the credentials screen. The internal uses cited, morning briefs, data questions, are xAI’s.
The decision
Before you drop a file into a Team Bot, ask who else has the bot, and whether the memory can be cleared. If the answer is not written down, do not put the file in. A personal bot and a team bot are not set up the same way.
