Grok Bot
Always-on AI "teammates" with a cloud computer, which sign into your apps and work until they need you.
By xAI · owned by SpaceX · launched 2026-08-11 · last checked 2026-11-02
Why 4: each Bot operates apps, inboxes and websites on a cloud computer and can run saved routines, but it pauses for approval when needed and remains an early beta.
What it does. Each Bot works on a cloud computer, so it can sign in and operate apps, inboxes and websites that have no clean API. You message it like a colleague; it remembers conversations, can save a workflow you demonstrate as a routine, and several Bots can coordinate in a group chat. The beta launched on desktop and iOS on 11 August 2026, widened to more plans on 26 August, and an enterprise version with access, network and audit controls followed on 3 September.
Where it falls short. It is an early beta. xAI says Bots pause for approval when needed, but its launch post gave few details on security, and we found no independent test of how reliably they finish work.
