Grok Bot gives you AI teammates, each with a name and a job, that work on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal. Learn how Bots share that computer and hand work to each other, how skills, routines and approvals work, and what you need to get it: a Cursor account and a paid Cursor plan or a linked SuperGrok subscription. https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/overview.md https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/get-started.md https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/computer-and-apps.md https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations.md https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/approvals-security-and-privacy.md https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/faq.md https://docs.x.ai/developers/release-notes.md

What a Bot is

Grok

Grok Bot gives you AI teammates that work on a persistent cloud computer

BrowserFilesystemTerminal
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/overview · Release notes, August

In August, SpaceXAI made Grok Bot available. A Bot is a named teammate with one job, and it works on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, a filesystem and a terminal.

Setup is a message

Grok

You create a Bot with a name, a job and a description

Piper
JobProduct performance
Works bySeparating evidence from hypotheses
RuleNever change production settings
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/get-started

Setting one up takes a message: a short name, one primary job, and how it should work. SpaceXAI's example is Piper, who investigates product performance and never changes production settings.

Context compounds

Grok

A named Bot keeps its context between tasks

MemoryFilesBrowser sessionsPreferences
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/overview

A named Bot keeps its memory, files, browser sessions and preferences instead of resetting on every task. For important decisions, SpaceXAI says to have it check the current source.

Laptop closed

Grok

Close your laptop and the Bot keeps working

ClicksTypingNavigationStatus
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/computer-and-apps

The work runs in the cloud, so closing your laptop or phone doesn't stop it. Open Agent Computer to watch the Bot's clicks, typing and navigation as they happen.

One shared computer

Grok

All your Bots share one computer

Your cloud computer
Shared files · browser sessions · command-line credentials
Screen for Bot A
Screen for Bot B
Screen for Bot C
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/computer-and-apps

Every Bot on your account uses that same computer, with shared files, browser sessions and command-line credentials. Each Bot gets its own screen, and SpaceXAI warns that separate Bots are not a security boundary.

Bots coordinate

Grok

Bots hand work to each other

Run in parallelMessage each otherGroup chatsPass ownership
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/overview

Bots run in parallel, message each other, share context in group chats and pass tasks along, so you aren't routing work by hand. Each Bot runs one computer task at a time.

Take over to sign in

Grok

You type the passwords yourself

1Bot asks you to take over
2You complete the sign-in
3You return control
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/computer-and-apps

For a password, a two-factor code or a CAPTCHA, the Bot asks you to take over the computer. You finish that step, and the signed-in session stays available to your other Bots.

Repeat the work

Grok
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations

Repeating the work.

Skills and routines

Grok

A skill says how, and a routine says when

Skill
IsReusable instructions for a task
SharedBy all your Bots
Routine
IsWhen one Bot runs the work
RunsOn a schedule or after an event
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations

A skill is a reusable set of instructions, shared by all your Bots. A routine tells one Bot when to run the work, on a schedule or after an event such as a Slack message.

Teach a task

Grok

Show a Bot a browser workflow once

1Choose Teach a task
2Do the workflow, up to 10 minutes
3Review the draft skill
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations

Where Teach a task is available, you do a browser workflow once while the Bot records the screen, for up to ten minutes. It turns that into a draft skill you review.

Routine limits

Grok

Each Bot can own up to 50 routines

50
routines per Bot
20
recent runs kept per routine
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations

Each Bot can own up to 50 routines, and the app keeps the 20 most recent runs of each. A test run does real work, so keep write actions behind approval.

Control and cost

Grok
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/approvals-security-and-privacy

Control and cost.

Approvals

Grok

Consequential actions stop for your approval

Allow onceAlways allowDeny
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/approvals-security-and-privacy

When an action needs approval, the conversation shows the operation and its inputs. You pick Allow once, Always allow or Deny. With Auto Review on, an Ask first rule always wins.

Your local computer

Grok

Your own computer is a separate permission

Ask every timeAlways allowNever allow
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/approvals-security-and-privacy

A Bot runs commands on the Mac or Windows machine in front of you only with permission. The default is Ask every time, and SpaceXAI suggests Never allow unless a Bot needs your local files.

What it costs

Grok

Grok Bot comes with paid Cursor plans

Access
CursorEvery paid individual plan, and Teams
SuperGrokLink SuperGrok, Plus or Heavy
UsageResets weekly
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/faq

Grok Bot is included with every paid individual Cursor plan and the Cursor Teams plan, or you can link a SuperGrok subscription. Usage resets weekly, and eligible accounts can add more on demand.

Cursor account

Grok

You sign in to Grok Bot with a Cursor account

macOSWindowsLinuxiPhoneAndroid
SpaceXAI · docs.x.ai/grok-bot/get-started

Grok Bot uses your Cursor account and needs cloud data storage, so Legacy Privacy Mode isn't supported. The desktop app runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, with a mobile app for iPhone and Android.
