Turning off Notifications only controls alerts. SpaceXSI's docs say to contact support to turn off a Bot's check-ins.

Turning off Notifications does not turn off the check-ins. SpaceXSI's page says Notifications control alerts, not the check-ins themselves, and that if you want the check-ins turned off, you contact support. The page doesn't give an address or any other steps, so I don't either.
I haven't tried turning check-ins off. The check-ins the page describes come from your primary Bot, the one marked with a star in the sidebar.
Source: When your Bot takes initiative. The page says last updated November 11, 2026. The opening is word for word: "Your Bot doesn't only wait for instructions. It notices work it can take off your plate and offers to handle it, and it tells you when something needs your attention. You stay in charge: it offers first and asks before risky actions."
Under "What does my Bot do without being asked?" the three lines are word for word:
The page doesn't say how often it offers, or what a check-in looks like in the chat. The heading on the page for fewer alerts is "How do I get fewer alerts from my Bot?" I titled this page "How do I stop my Bot's check-ins?" because the answer to that question is in that section.
The page says: "Your primary Bot, marked with a star in the sidebar. A Team Bot can't be your primary Bot."
It also says: "A Team Bot can still ask you for something it needs. For example, when one of its routines needs one of your connected apps, it asks in its Slack thread and tags you." I didn't find whether that Slack ask is one of the check-ins. The check-ins sentence, quoted below, doesn't name a Team Bot.
On whether it acts alone: "It offers first. When you say yes, it does the work the same way it does any task you give it, and it asks before risky actions." The page doesn't say which actions count as risky.
Under "How do I get fewer alerts from my Bot?" the page says: "Turn off Notifications for that Bot. On the phone, the switch is in the Bot's profile. On desktop, ask the Bot to turn its notifications off." It points to a Control notifications page for that switch. I didn't copy that page's steps.
The next sentences are word for word: "Notifications control alerts, not the check-ins themselves. If you'd like your Bot's check-ins turned off, contact support."
The words "contact support" on that page link to the Before contacting support part of SpaceXSI's troubleshooting page. The initiative page itself doesn't give an address, a button name, or any other way to turn the check-ins off, and I don't have one to add.

I quote the opening, and I don't use the rest of the post: "Grok Bot 1.0's launch post has 52M+ views. one line in xAI's own docs most people will miss: muting your bot doesn't stop its check-ins. to turn those off, the docs say contact support."
The view count is his, and I haven't checked it. The docs don't say "muting." They say turning off Notifications controls alerts, not the check-ins, and that you contact support to turn the check-ins off, so this page uses the docs' wording. The rest of his post is his own summary of other features, and I don't use it here.

Offers to take on work. Your primary Bot spots tasks it can handle for you and offers to do them.

Turn off Notifications for that Bot. On the phone, the switch is in the Bot's profile. On desktop, ask the Bot to turn its notifications off.
Notifications control alerts, not the check-ins themselves. If you'd like your Bot's check-ins turned off, contact support.
