Connector
Also called app connector.
A connector is a ready-made connection that lets an application use another service's data or actions.
Example
You connect a calendar so a bot can read events through the connector instead of clicking around the website. Every bot on the account can be given that connector.
Why it matters
In Grok BotGrok Bot is xAI's product for named AI teammates that keep context and do tasks on a cloud computer shared by the bots on one account., connectors are installed as plugins from MarketplaceMarketplace is a nickname for three different doors: public Bots, Grok Bot plugins, and Grok Build plugins. and are available across the account, not locked to one Bot. A connector is a structured path. Computer use, clicking through a website, is the fallback when no connector exists.
Common confusion
A connector is not a templateA template is a recipe for a Grok Bot, not a clone of someone’s computer or chat., and it is not a copy of someone's bot. Installing one does not add a teammate.
