Connecting ElevenLabs Beginner

Connect ElevenLabs so your bot can work in it for you. This guide explains what that means, how to connect it in a few clicks, and practical things to try.

Before you start

The Grok Bot app, installed and signed in. New? See where to download it and installing and signing in.
A ElevenLabs account you can sign in to.

1. What ElevenLabs is and why connect it

ElevenLabs is a text-to-speech and voice AI service. A connector is a link that lets your bot work inside an app for you, instead of you clicking around yourself. Once ElevenLabs is connected, you can just ask in plain words and your bot does the work in ElevenLabs. New to connectors? Read What is a connector first.

2. Connect ElevenLabs

Open Grok Bot and click Connect apps in the sidebar. (Or just type "Connect ElevenLabs" to your bot; it can show a Connect card right in the chat.)
Find ElevenLabs in the list. If you can't find it, ask your bot; which connectors appear can depend on your account.
Click to connect. Your web browser opens ElevenLabs's own sign-in page.
Sign in there and read what access it asks for, then approve. Your password goes to ElevenLabs, never into the chat.
Come back to Grok Bot and test it with a simple request, like one of the ideas below.

3. What your bot can do with it

You can ask it to turn text into speech.
You can ask it to run voice agents.

Exactly which actions are available depends on the connector's current tools. If you're not sure, ask: "What can you do with ElevenLabs?"

4. Staying in control

A connected app is available to every bot on your account. Bots draft messages and changes for your approval, and risky actions are checked by Auto-review (see Safety and approvals). To cut access later, remove the connection on the ElevenLabs side (ElevenLabs Docs) or ask your bot how to disconnect it.

Ideas to try

Voicemail greeting.
Turn this text into a friendly voicemail greeting audio file.

List available voices and suggest one for a calm narration.
Practice.
Read this speech aloud so I can hear the pacing.

Tips

Start with read-only requests (search, list, summarize) before asking for changes.
If you have more than one account, tell the bot which one to use.
If ElevenLabs stops responding, ask your bot to check the connection. You may just need to sign in again.

Facts about the Grok Bot app come from Cursor's official Grok Bot documentation. ElevenLabs details: ElevenLabs Docs. Menus and services change; if something looks different, check the official docs or ask your bot.
