Give it a job
A Bot gets a name, a specific role, working context, tools, and boundaries. Narrow ownership is more useful than a vague “general helper.”

01 / The definition
An AI teammate is the promise. Delegated work is the test.
Grok Bot is not simply another model or chat window. The product is framed around persistent agents that carry work through tools and return when a decision or approval is needed.
Let it operate
Official material says Bots use a cloud computer to work across apps and websites, including connected inboxes and business tools.
Review the result
The safe pattern is preparation first, approval second: review drafts, proposed changes, sources, and exceptions before consequential action.

02 / The workflow
From assignment to approval, without losing the thread.
- 01ASSIGN
Define the outcome
State the job, approved sources, expected format, and actions that must stop for approval.
- 02ACCESS
Connect only what is needed
Use least-privilege accounts and limit the Bot to the tools required for this task.
- 03OBSERVE
Inspect the trail
Review tool activity, created files, questions, and approval requests alongside the conversation.
- 04DECIDE
Approve—or redirect
Check the output against acceptance criteria before sending, publishing, buying, or changing production.
03 / Terminology
Three products. Three different jobs.
“Grok” is used across several experiences. Choosing the right surface starts with knowing what outcome you need.

04 / Safer start
Trust should expand one reversible step at a time.
An always-on agent with accounts and a cloud computer needs stronger boundaries than a chatbot that only drafts text.
Start read-only
Ask for a summary, reconciliation, or draft before allowing edits or messages.
Require approval
Keep sending, purchasing, deleting, publishing, and production changes behind a human decision.
Use separate access
Prefer scoped accounts and permissions you can revoke without disrupting your own access.
Test the exception
Define what happens when data is stale, a tool fails, or a task completes only partially.

What is Grok Bot?
Grok Bot is a beta product described by SpaceXAI as a team of always-on AI agents. Each Bot has a defined job, working context, and access to a cloud computer for carrying out work across approved apps and websites.
Is Grok Bot the same as Grok Chat?
No. Grok Chat is conversation-first. Grok Bot is delegation-first: you assign durable work, review progress, and approve consequential actions. They are related products with different workflows.
Who can access Grok Bot?
At launch, official sources list SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium as eligible plans. Access and plan terms can change, so verify them on the official access page before subscribing.
Which platforms are supported?
The initial official documentation lists macOS, Windows, and iPhone on iOS 18 or later. Linux desktop, Android, and iPad were not supported at launch.
Can Grok Bot work while my computer is off?
Official documentation says a Bot’s cloud work can continue while the desktop or iPhone app is disconnected. Work still depends on access, usage limits, connected services, and approval requirements.
Is there a public Grok Bot API?
The launch material describes an end-user product rather than a dedicated Grok Bot API or model ID. SpaceXAI separately offers developer APIs for Grok models.
Is GrokBot.link official?
No. GrokBot.link is an independent editorial guide. It is not affiliated with SpaceXAI, xAI, Grok, Cursor, or Anysphere.
