Grok Bot in one paragraph

Grok Bot is xAI's agent product, launched in beta on August 11, 2026. You create named Bots, give each a job, and message them like coworkers. Every account gets a persistent cloud computer with a browser, a file system, and a terminal; Bots sign into your apps with your own logins, use plugins where they exist and the browser where they do not, and keep working while your laptop is closed. Bots can share context, hand tasks to each other, learn skills by watching you, and run routines on a schedule.

It ships as desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus iPhone and Android apps that connect to the same cloud computer. Access is bundled with paid Cursor and SuperGrok plans rather than sold on its own.

Four things called Grok that are not Grok Bot

The name collides with several older products, which is why search results for 'grokbot' mix agent tutorials with chatbot news. If a page describes an assistant that operates a computer for you, it means Grok Bot. If it describes answering questions in a chat window, it means the chatbot.

Spellings you will see

Officially it is Grok Bot, two words. Grokbot, grok-bot, and GrokBot appear in repository names, domain names, and forum posts. Grocbot, Grokboth, and Grok Both are typos that show up in search data. This wiki uses the official two-word form and treats the rest as the same product.

Where to go next

If you are deciding whether to pay for it, read the pricing guide for the plan table and the trial terms. If you are choosing between it and a self-hosted platform, read the OpenClaw comparison. If you already have access, the first-task guide gets you a checkable result in under an hour.

Quick answers

Is Grok Bot the same as Grok?

No. Grok is xAI's chatbot, available at grok.com, in the Grok app, and as @grok on X. Grok Bot is a separate product launched August 11, 2026: named agents that run on a cloud computer, sign into your apps, and keep working after you close your laptop.

How do you spell it: Grokbot, Grok Bot, Grocbot?

xAI writes it as two words, Grok Bot. Grokbot and grok-bot are common one-word forms. Grocbot and Grokboth are misspellings we see in search; they all mean the same product.

Is Grok Bot built on OpenClaw?

No. Grok Bot is a closed product built on Cursor's cloud infrastructure after xAI acquired Cursor. OpenClaw is an open-source agent platform. Separately, xAI documents how to use Grok models as the model inside OpenClaw, which is where the confusion comes from.

What does Grok Bot cost?

It is bundled with paid Cursor plans from $20 per month and with SuperGrok from $30 per month, with a weekly usage allowance and on-demand billing beyond it. See our pricing guide for the full plan table.
