Tag @bot on X to hand your Bot a request. With the X plugin, your Bot can read your X DMs, but the docs don't describe chatting with it in X messages.

If you mean handing your Bot a request from X, rather than holding a live chat with it, the docs cover that through tagging. The Grok Bot docs say that to give your Bot your X DMs, you add the X plugin from Connect apps and sign in with X. The docs still don't describe chatting with your Bot from inside your X messages, so we can't tell you how that would work.
The FAQ answers "Where do I talk to Grok Bot?" like this: "Use the Grok Bot desktop app on macOS, Windows, or Linux, or the companion app on iOS or Android. The same Bots and conversations sync across your signed-in devices."
Step 1: To hand your Bot a request while you're on X, tag the Grok Bot account in a post or reply. The tagging page explains how tagging works and says: "The work and its results stay in that Bot's conversation in the Grok Bot app". Check the "Before you start" list on that page first, because that list requires a Grok account with your X account connected, at least one Bot of your own, and an X account based in a region where tagging is available (the page lists where it isn't yet).
Step 2: Install the iOS or Android app so you can check the results and follow up from your phone. Your Bots and conversations sync with the desktop app. For the Grok app and grok.com, see Where can I use Grok Bot?

If @bot stays quiet, the tagging page lists common causes, including region limits, missing your own Bot, or tagging @grok in the same post. Open the Grok Bot app to confirm you have a Bot of your own, then try tagging again from a supported region.
