What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is SpaceXSI's (formerly SpaceXAI and xAI) agent product: named AI teammates that share a persistent cloud computer with a browser, files and a terminal, sign into your apps, and keep working after you close your laptop. It launched in beta on August 11, 2026. Since October 12, 2026 it is included with the Premium, Super and Ultra tiers of The X Subscription, and existing paid Cursor and SuperGrok plans still include it.

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. Our glossary defines each of these terms.

It ships as desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux (the x.ai/bot downloads list Windows 10 and 11), plus iPhone and Android apps that connect to the same cloud computer; the iOS app also runs on iPad. Access is bundled with other subscriptions rather than sold on its own. SpaceXSI announced on August 26 that Grok Bot was included with SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and all Cursor Teams plans, and Cursor's help also lists seats on a self-serve Grok Business plan. On October 12 SpaceXSI introduced The X Subscription, one plan for Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium, which includes Grok Bot from Premium ($30 a month) up; SpaceXSI says existing plans continue unless subscribers choose to switch. By October 25 the x.ai/bot pricing panel showed Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 a month, and its FAQ said Grok Bot is included with Premium, Super, Ultra, Teams and Enterprise.

The maker's name has changed twice. SpaceX announced it had acquired xAI in February 2026 and the company then traded as SpaceXAI; in October 2026 x.ai switched its branding to SpaceXSI, with the legal entity still SpaceXAI LLC. The company says Cursor became part of it on August 14, 2026, three days after Grok Bot launched. The product name, Grok Bot, is unchanged.

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.

Two X handles are easy to mix up. @grok is the chatbot answering in replies. @bot is part of Grok Bot: the docs, updated October 7, say tagging @bot in a post hands that post to your main Bot as a task, @bot replies on X only with a confirmation, and the work happens in the Grok Bot app using your weekly usage. It needs a Grok account with your X account connected and is not yet available to X accounts based in the EU, the UK, Australia, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway.

What has changed since launch

Grok Bot ships updates several times a week. The biggest changes since launch: Shared Bots, one Bot shared by a whole team, in public beta on Teams and Enterprise plans since late September; Projects, which let a Bot start a Cloud Agent that plans the work and runs its own agents (0.57.0, September 18); and in October, Connect Apps replacing the in-app Marketplace, automatic updates on by default, and a starred primary Bot that can offer to take work. Our monthly what's new page tracks each release; when we checked on October 29 the latest was 0.78.1, in a changelog entry dated October 27 that also covers 0.78.0. The official docs and Cursor's help now call Team Bots Shared Bots; the changelog still said Team Bot on that date, while noting that the team admin page says Shared Bots.

The October 11 entry (0.69.0 to 0.70.2) added an email address for your Bots: Cursor's help says it is at mail.grokbot.com, one per account and permanent once claimed. Bots can also search and read public X without an X account, show some connected apps such as Figma, Notion and Canva as cards in the chat, and pay with X Money or Stripe Link, and before an action they cannot undo they check your messages for approval. Separately, you can start work from X by tagging @bot, documented on October 7.

Three releases followed. 0.71.2 (October 14) raised attachments to 20 per message with a 200 MB total, files up to 250 MB and videos up to 1 GB, let Bots use up to 200 skills from your installed plugins instead of 24, and made Bot replies and questions notify you on your Mac or Windows PC instead of your phone while you use Grok Bot there. 0.75.2 (October 22) added Pages, reports, memos and dashboards you edit together or have the Bot keep up to date, video creation from a description or an image, a Pinned section in the Library, and Shop Pay at checkout. 0.75.5 (October 23) added a Vault in Settings where Bots can save your logins, cards and contact info and fill them in, and email forwarding; an email or Slack message you ask a Bot to send now goes out once Auto-review allows it, while sends from routines and other turns still wait as drafts. Routines can now run up to 300 times an hour in total, and each routine up to 200 times. 0.75.8 (October 24) lets a Bot offer to add, change or remove one of your Auto-review rules on a card you confirm, shows fewer approval cards for safe actions, lets Bots use a connector's new tools without a reconnect, and limits a Shared Bot to the people on its share list. 0.77.0 (October 26) adds a Permissions section in Settings that lists every Auto-review rule, a Payments tab in Vault where you pick which payment method Bots use first, a 1Password connection that no longer needs a shared vault, cards that ask several questions at once, and Import Memory, which brings your preferences from another AI assistant into your primary Bot; approval cards now stay open for 30 minutes. 0.78.1 (October 27, also covering 0.78.0) turns shopping into cards with photos, rating, price and store, where Buy now starts an order you approve and the Bot then tracks the shipment; adds templates that start a free trial and cancel it before it bills, cancel subscriptions you pick and watch renewal prices; lets Shop Pay connect from Vault's Payments tab; and, where Grok Bot used to offer a free trial, now offers Get Grok Bot with a unified plan.

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.

Quick answers

Is Grok Bot the same as Grok?

No. Grok is the chatbot, available at grok.com, in the Grok app, and as @grok on X. Grok Bot is a separate product launched in beta on 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?

SpaceXSI 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, hosted product that runs on Cursor's cloud; SpaceXSI says Cursor became part of the company on August 14, 2026. OpenClaw is an open-source agent platform you run yourself. Separately, SpaceXSI lets you use a SuperGrok subscription inside OpenClaw, which is where the confusion comes from. See Grok Bot vs OpenClaw.

What does Grok Bot cost?

There is no standalone price. Since October 12, 2026, new customers get it with The X Subscription's Premium plan at $30 a month, Super at $100 or Ultra at $200, or team seats at the same prices; SpaceXSI's Free and $8 Plus plans do not include it. Existing Cursor plans (Pro from $20 a month, Teams from $40 a seat), linked SuperGrok and X Premium+ subscriptions, and self-serve Grok Business seats keep working for people who already have them. See our plan and pricing guide.

Can I use Grok Bot inside the Grok app or my Tesla?

On the older plans, only with SuperGrok. A Cursor staff member said on October 11 that the Bots section inside the main Grok app is currently available only with a SuperGrok subscription; a Cursor plan does not unlock it, so the Grok app and Grok in a Tesla show an upgrade screen instead of your Bots. Cursor-plan users work in the separate Grok Bot apps. Staff suggested voice chat in the Grok Bot phone app over the car's Bluetooth as a workaround. x.ai/pricing says The X Subscription's shared pool covers Bot within Grok; we have not confirmed what the Grok app shows on those plans.

Who makes Grok Bot: xAI, SpaceXAI or SpaceXSI?

All three names refer to the same company. SpaceX announced on February 2, 2026 that it had acquired xAI, which later traded as SpaceXAI. In early October Elon Musk said it would be renamed SpaceXSI, and by October 11 x.ai's page titles, articles and X handle (@SpaceXSI) used the new name; the site footer still names the legal entity SpaceXAI LLC. Cursor, whose cloud and accounts Grok Bot uses, became part of the company on August 14, 2026, according to its own news post.
