Grok Bot is for people who want a delegated worker, not another chat window: message a Bot a job, let it sign into your real apps on its own cloud computer, and it returns when the work is done or needs approval. It comes bundled with eligible SuperGrok and Cursor plans.
Grok Bot is xAI's always-on AI agent product, launched in beta on August 11, 2026. Each Bot works from a cloud computer of its own, signs into a user's existing apps, and completes multi-step jobs before returning for approval. It is included with SuperGrok plans from $30 a month and Cursor plans from $20 a month.

About Grok Bot
Grok Bot is xAI's push into persistent AI teammates, launched in beta on August 11, 2026 (the vendor site now carries the SpaceXAI name). Unlike the Grok chatbot, which answers inside a chat window, a Bot works from a computer of its own in the cloud and signs into the tools a person already uses, so a job keeps going after the laptop closes. A user messages a Bot the way they would message a colleague, hands it a task, and the Bot comes back when the work is finished or when something needs approval.
The vendor describes several working patterns. Bots can be run in parallel, with one Bot coordinating the others, and can message each other and share context in threads or group chats. A Bot can also watch a person complete a workflow once, save it as a routine, and run it on its own next time. Memory carries across conversations, so a Bot picks up how its owner likes work done. xAI's own examples are a sales Bot that researches accounts overnight and leaves drafts to approve, an ops Bot that processes invoices arriving in Gmail, and an engineering Bot that reproduces a bug in a product UI and files the ticket. Those are vendor-reported internal uses, not independent results, and the model underneath is Grok 4.6 (see Grok 4.6).
It suits people who want a delegated worker rather than a copilot: an operations lead who needs a support queue worked overnight, a founder who wants CRM follow-ups and inbox triage handled before the day starts, or a team already paying for Cursor. Compared with hosted research agents such as Manus, Grok Bot leans on logging into your real apps rather than working in its own sandboxed browser alone; compared with Claude Code or OpenAI Codex, it is not coding-first.
Grok Bot is not sold on its own. As of the vendor's September 2026 pricing pages it is included with SuperGrok ($30 a month), SuperGrok Plus ($100), SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Pro ($20), Cursor Pro+, Cursor Ultra, and the Cursor Teams plans (Standard at $40 per seat). The vendor says Grok Bot has its own usage allowance, separate from the Grok and Cursor plans it comes with, so work handed to a Bot does not count against existing usage. It downloads for macOS today and runs on iOS, and xAI routes Enterprise access through sales. Builders who want a free, self-hosted alternative should look at OpenClaw, and anyone comparing all-purpose assistants can start with ChatGPT agent mode or the agents directory.
Where the alternative wins (agents such as MultiOn, Jules and Gemini Spark cover narrower jobs): a Bot logs in as you, so anything it does happens with your credentials and permissions, and the vendor has not published an independent security audit of that design. Teams that need a code-first agent, a self-hosted one, or a per-agent credential boundary are better served by Cline, Hermes Agent or the tools ranked in Smart Match. Do not buy a SuperGrok Heavy plan only for Grok Bot: the entry-level SuperGrok and Cursor Pro plans already list Grok Bot access.
Pricing
Not sold separately; Grok Bot is included with eligible plans and has its own usage allowance separate from those plans, per the vendor. Grok plans: [Grok](/hub/tools/grok) SuperGrok $30/mo, SuperGrok Plus $100/mo, SuperGrok Heavy (third-party listings say $300/mo; not shown on the vendor pricing page in this check). Cursor plans: Pro $20/mo, Pro+ $60/mo and Ultra $200/mo (see [Cursor](/hub/tools/cursor) for tier detail), Teams Standard $40/seat/mo and Teams Premium $120/seat/mo. Enterprise pricing is by contact sales.
Key Features
- Persistent Cloud Computer: Every Bot gets a cloud machine, so jobs keep running after you close your laptop.
- Cross-App Login: A Bot signs into apps and websites the way you would, including tools with no clean API or MCP.
- Approval Checkpoints: Sign-off is requested only for steps that need a human decision, so routine work is not interrupted.
- Bot-to-Bot Handoff: Bots message each other in threads and group chats, pass work and assign ownership without you copying context.
- Routines by Observation: Ask a Bot to follow along once and it saves the workflow as a routine it runs on its own next time.
- Cross-Session Memory: Bots keep context on how you like work done and share what they learn with other Bots.
Strengths
- Runs multi-step jobs unattended on its own cloud VM, so tasks like an overnight Slack watch or an inbox triage keep going after you close your laptop, unlike a chat-only assistant.
- Signs into everyday business software with your own login instead of requiring a developer to wire up an API, covering email, calendar, CRM, and code hosting out of the box.
- Bundled into a subscription many teams already pay for (Cursor Teams Premium or SuperGrok Heavy) rather than sold as a separate SKU, so those teams get it without buying a new tool.
Weaknesses
- All Bots on an account share one cloud computer, per the vendor, so isolation is per-account rather than per-Bot.
- Bots act under your own logins, so a mistake or a compromised Bot inherits your access.
- Only reachable through an eligible SuperGrok or Cursor plan, with no free tier and no standalone plan for trying one Bot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Grok Bot cost in 2026?
Grok Bot has no standalone price. It is included with eligible plans: SuperGrok at $30 a month, SuperGrok Plus at $100, Cursor Pro at $20, and Cursor Teams Standard at $40 per seat, with higher tiers (SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Pro+ and Ultra) also listed. The vendor says Bot usage is separate from a plan's own usage. There is no free tier, and Enterprise access is arranged through sales.
Is Grok Bot fully autonomous?
No. The vendor says a Bot finishes jobs end to end and only comes back when something needs approval, so the owner still signs off on sensitive steps. A person can also teach a Bot a routine by completing a workflow once while it watches. How much a Bot acts unprompted grows as it learns preferences, according to xAI, which is a vendor claim rather than a tested result.
Who is Grok Bot for, and who should skip it?
It fits operations leads, founders and sales or support teams who want a delegated worker signed into their own apps. It is a poor fit for people needing a self-hosted agent, a per-agent credential boundary, or a coding-first tool. Bots use your own logins, and no independent security audit of that design has been published, so regulated teams should ask the vendor for controls first.
How does Grok Bot compare with Claude Code and Manus?
Claude Code works inside a terminal or codebase and targets software engineering, while Grok Bot targets general office work across apps. Manus runs tasks in its own hosted environment, while Grok Bot logs into your existing tools on a cloud computer of its own. Grok Bot adds Bot-to-Bot handoff and saved routines; Claude Code has a longer public record and clearer published benchmarks.
How do you get started with Grok Bot?
Hold an eligible plan (SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus or Heavy, Cursor Pro, Pro+ or Ultra, or Cursor Teams), download the macOS app or use iOS, and create a first Bot. Give it a task in plain language, sign it into the apps it needs once, and message it like a colleague. Enterprise buyers contact sales through the vendor's Grok Bot page.
Top Alternatives
- Claude Code: Pick Claude Code if you want an agent living inside your terminal and codebase; pick Grok Bot if you want it signing into general office apps like Gmail and Slack.
- OpenClaw: Pick OpenClaw if you want a free, self-hosted agent you run with your own API key; pick Grok Bot if you want a managed cloud teammate with no server to maintain.
