# How to approve a Grok Bot phone call and step in mid-call

*Tip · Nov. 5, 2026*

Grok Bot now places phone calls for you, and you stay in control from the first ring to the last word. Here's how to run a call from start to finish, based on the official demo.

**1. Set your limits in the ask.** Tell the Bot who to call, what you want and what it must not agree to. In the demo, the user added, "And don't let them talk me into a discount." Be just as plain: a price ceiling, a date you can't move, an account change you don't want.

**2. Read the Phone call card.** Before dialing, the Bot shows a "Phone call" card with a question such as "Call your internet provider?" Check that it names the right business. If it doesn't, or you've changed your mind, tap Cancel.

**3. Tap Call.** Nothing is dialed until you do.

**4. Watch the transcript.** A live transcript runs on screen while the call happens. Skim it as it goes, the way you would listen in on a speakerphone.

**5. Take over or hang up.** If the conversation heads somewhere you don't like, tap "Take over" to handle it yourself. Tap "End call" to stop it.

**6. Know the rules.** The calling rules in [Grok Bot's Terms](https://cursor.com/terms/grok-bot), section 2.7, apply to every call. Our [earlier guide on having Grok Bot call a business](/have-grok-bot-call-a-business/) covers them in plain language. Read it before your first call.

Start small. Pick a call you've been putting off, like checking a bill, and stay on the transcript the whole way through.
