Grok Bot is a personal AI agent developed by xAI, launched as a beta in August 2026. Rather than answering questions in a chat window, each Grok Bot runs on its own persistent, always-on virtual computer in the cloud. It was part of the 2026 surge of personal AI agents alongside Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots and the startup Instinct, and is distinct from the Grok chatbot.
How it works
A Grok Bot can open a browser, read and write files, run terminal commands, connect to a user's accounts through built-in connectors, and use MCP-enabled tools. Users create persistent bots with specific jobs, give them access to applications and websites, and delegate work much as they would to a teammate. Because the work happens in the cloud, a task keeps running even when the user's own device is off.
Teach-a-task
Grok Bot's signature feature is teach-a-task: a user screen-records themselves performing a workflow once, and Grok Bot turns the recording into a repeatable skill, with no API integrations or plugins to set up.
Availability
Grok Bot launched bundled into SuperGrok Heavy and into coding products including Cursor Ultra ($200 per month) and Cursor Teams Premium ($120 per seat per month), with a wider rollout tied to a later Grok model update.
