Grok Bot vs ChatGPT dots: features, pricing and business automation

Grok Bot and ChatGPT dots are both always-on AI agents that work from their own cloud computer and come back to you when they need a decision. Dots run inside ChatGPT on Pro and Business Premium plans. Grok Bot is xAI’s beta product, bundled with SuperGrok and some Cursor plans. Pick the one that connects to the tools you already use, then test it on one task you can check.

What both products are

A regular chatbot answers a question and stops. Both of these keep working. You give them a goal, connect the apps they need, and set what they may do without asking. They carry on in the background and report back when the job is done or when they reach something that needs your judgment.

That makes them closer to a junior assistant than a search box, which is useful and also the reason to set limits before you start.

Side by side

Availability, plan names and limits change often. Check the vendor’s own help pages for your country before you budget for either.

Which one suits a small business

• If your team already lives in ChatGPT, Slack or Teams, dots fit into habits you have.
• If you want several named bots each holding a role, Grok Bot is built around that idea.
• If you are outside the regions a plan covers, the decision is made for you.
• If neither connects to the booking system or CRM you use, an agent built around those tools may serve you better.

How to test either one

1. 1Pick one repeatable jobSomething you do weekly and can check, like summarising new enquiries or drafting a social post from last week’s work.
2. 2Connect the minimumGive read access first. Add the ability to send or post only after the drafts are reliably right.
3. 3Run it for two weeksNote what you corrected and why. Facts, tone and missing context are the usual three.
4. 4Decide on evidenceKeep it if the time saved is greater than the time spent fixing its work.
