Add Joe Speaking to Grok
These are Grok’s own steps, with the labels you’ll see. You only do this once.
Before you start
xAI says connectors are available to all Grok users, so a free personal account works. On Grok Business or Enterprise, a team admin has to set up connectors first.

Then ask about your practice
Grok answers from the practice saved in your Joe Speaking account. Name Joe Speaking in your question so Grok knows to read your practice.
- How’s my speaking practice going?
- How can I get a steady 7?
- Help me prep Part 2 faster with stories I’ve already told.
- Which one should I practise first today?
