xAI launches Grok Bot

xAI launched Grok Bot in early beta on August 11, 2026. The pitch is AI teammates rather than a chatbot: each Bot has its own computer in the cloud, signs into the tools you already use, carries a job through to the end, and comes back to you only when something needs approval. As the launch post puts it, "there is a huge difference between 90% done and 100% done."

Who can use it, and what it costs

Grok Bot is available now to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers, on desktop and iOS. If you are on one of those three plans, it rides on the subscription you already pay for; you install the app, create a Bot, and start delegating. There is no standalone price, no other consumer tier is named, and enterprise access sits behind a waitlist.

What a Bot actually does

The cloud computer is the core of the product. Close a normal chatbot and the work stops; a Bot's job runs on its own machine, so it can keep going overnight and message you when it hits a judgment call. You can pick up the same conversation from your phone or your desktop.

xAI says a Bot can sign into apps, tools, and websites directly, including ones with no API or MCP, the standard connectors software uses to talk to other software. Where those connectors do not exist, the Bot uses the site the way a person uses a browser, and the finished work lands in the actual tool rather than in a chat transcript for you to copy out.

Bots can also be taught. You ask one to watch the next time you do a job, it saves the steps as a routine, takes corrections, and runs the process itself afterward. You can run several at once, and xAI says people inside the company often put a chief of staff Bot over a group of specialists; Bots message each other, share context, and sit in group chats, pulling a human in only for decisions.

Where the examples come from

Grok Bot started as an internal prototype that spread across xAI's own teams. The examples in the launch material are drawn from that rollout: a sales Bot that updates the CRM with call notes and drafts follow-ups, an operations Bot that onboards new hires and processes invoices arriving in Gmail, an engineering Bot that reproduces a bug in the product, files the ticket, and hands the fix to a debugging Bot. These are the company's own illustrations, not measured results.

What is still unknown

xAI has not said which model powers a Bot. Grok 4.6, which the company describes as built for long-running agents, shipped the very next day, but xAI has not connected the two. There is no published success rate, no usage limit, and no statement of what a Bot may do without asking first, which matters for software that logs into your accounts unsupervised. Until people outside the company run real jobs through it, the teammate framing is a claim, not a record.
