Grok Bot

xAI's persistent cloud agent with its own computer — browser, terminal, and file access. Runs multi-step jobs unattended with approval checkpoints and audit logs.

The AIE Angle

Why Grok Bot made the cut

Grok Bot is xAI's answer to the autonomous-agent wave: a persistent agent that lives in the cloud with its own computer — browser control, terminal and code execution, file read-write, and app connectors. Hand it a multi-step job and it keeps working after you close the tab, pausing at approval checkpoints and leaving an audit log you can actually review. That last part matters for business use — unattended automation is only as good as your ability to see what it did. It's still in beta, and the bundling is the interesting move: it ships with SuperGrok and Cursor plans, with entry at $20/month via Cursor Pro. If you're already in the xAI or Cursor ecosystem, it's the cheapest ticket yet to a real cloud agent.

Independently tested. No pay-to-play.

Common Questions

Grok Bot FAQ

The questions business professionals most often ask about Grok Bot.

What is Grok Bot?+

Grok Bot is xAI's persistent cloud-based autonomous agent. It runs on its own cloud computer with browser control, terminal and code execution, file read-write access, and app connectors, so it can complete multi-step jobs unattended rather than answering one prompt at a time.

How does Grok Bot keep unattended work safe?+

Grok Bot pauses at approval checkpoints before consequential actions and records an audit log of what it did. You review and approve at the gates rather than watching every step, which is the control model most businesses need before letting an agent run unsupervised.

How much does Grok Bot cost?+

Grok Bot is bundled with SuperGrok and Cursor plans rather than sold standalone. As of late August 2026 the cheapest entry point is Cursor Pro at $20/month. The product is currently in beta.

How does Grok Bot compare to other cloud agents like Manus?+

Both run multi-step tasks autonomously in the cloud. Grok Bot's differentiators are its persistence (it keeps running unattended), its full computer environment (terminal and files, not just a browser), and its bundling with xAI and Cursor subscriptions you may already pay for.
