Google Messages + Grok integration
Connect Google Messages to Grok
ConnectChats brings your Google Messages chats into Grok. Ask Grok to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Grok can do with your Google Messages
ConnectChats gives Grok a small set of tools. Grok calls them when you ask about your Google Messages chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Grok reads your unread Google Messages chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Grok searches your Google Messages history and quotes the message.

Draft replies
Grok writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Google Messages account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How Google Messages and Grok work together
ConnectChats pairs with your Android phone the same way Google Messages for web does, so your texts and RCS chats reach your AI app. You choose which conversations it can see.

Google Messages in ConnectChats
SMS, MMS and RCS chats, including group chats, are supported. Your phone sends and receives the texts, so it needs to stay on and connected to the internet. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. This is for Android phones. On iPhone, texts go through iMessage, which needs a Mac.

ConnectChats in Grok
Grok supports custom connectors that point at a remote MCP server. You add ConnectChats once on grok.com, sign in with your passkey, and Grok can use the chats you share when you ask about them. xAI says connectors are available to all Grok users. Custom connectors are added on grok.com. On Grok Business and Enterprise, a team admin adds the connector in the xAI console first, then each member connects their own account. Grok lists the ConnectChats tools after you connect, so you can see what it is able to call.
Your Google Messages stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Grok only sees the Google Messages chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Grok prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Google Messages, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Grok read my Google Messages messages?
Yes, once you link Google Messages in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Grok. Grok reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Grok send Google Messages messages for me?
Grok can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own Google Messages account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the Google Messages to Grok integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Grok and link Google Messages from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link Google Messages once and use it everywhere.
Does my phone need to stay on?
Yes. Google Messages works through your phone, so texts only come through while it is on and online, just like Google Messages for web.
Does it work on iPhone?
No. Google Messages is an Android app. iPhone texts come through the iMessage connection, which needs a Mac.
Is Grok on X the same as Grok on grok.com?
They use the same Grok account. Add ConnectChats at grok.com/connectors, which is where xAI manages connectors.
Can Grok send messages without asking?
No. Grok can only create drafts, which you approve in ConnectChats, unless you turn on auto-send for a specific chat.
