Neuralink Puts a Grok Agent Inside Its Brain Implant
Neuralink has built an agent into its brain implant: the user thinks the phrase “Hey, Neuralink” and frames the task mentally, then Grok takes over the operating system and performs the steps on its own. The update was tested in a 72-hour session at the home of a patient with ALS rather than in a lab visit.
The same release adds speech-intent recognition and a direct iPhone link, so a paralyzed person can call family or order food by thought, with brain signals routed into the phone’s speech synthesizer. Neuralink also reported results from its core communication trial: in the first week, the patient typed 75 English words per minute with a 5.8% word error rate.
