What is Grok Bot? Setup, features and practical business uses
Kahu team·Updated 1 Oct 2026·6 min read
Grok Bot is xAI’s AI agent product, launched in beta in August 2026. You create named bots that share one cloud computer with a browser, files and a terminal. Each bot signs into your tools, works through multi-step jobs, and comes back when a task needs your approval. It is separate from the @grok chatbot on X.
Grok, @grok and Grok Bot
| What it is | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| Grok | xAI’s chatbot | Answers questions in the app or on the web |
| @grok | The account on X | Replies when you tag it in a post |
| Grok Bot | An agent product | Signs into your tools and completes tasks |
How it works
Each bot has an ongoing role, like a teammate. They share one cloud computer tied to your account, so a bot can open a browser, log into a service, edit a file and keep going after you close your laptop. You give it work by messaging it. xAI also describes teaching a bot a task by recording yourself doing it once.
Setting it up
- 1Check your planGrok Bot is bundled with SuperGrok tiers and some Cursor plans. Confirm current inclusions on xAI’s pages.
- 2Create one bot with one roleFor example, “inbox triage” or “weekly report”. A narrow role is easier to judge.
- 3Connect only what that role needsAuthorisation is shared across bots, so think about what every bot can reach.
- 4Ask for approval on anything public or paidPosts, payments and customer promises should wait for you.
Practical first uses
- Pulling figures from several dashboards into one weekly summary.
- Researching leads and drafting first-touch emails for you to send.
- Keeping a supplier price list up to date from their websites.
- Preparing social drafts from photos and notes you drop in a folder.
Because the bots share a computer, one bot’s mistake can affect what the others can see. Keep access tight while it is in beta.

Is Grok Bot free?
No. It comes with paid SuperGrok and selected Cursor plans, with usage allowances that can run out on heavy jobs.
Does it need integrations for every app?
Not always. It works through a browser on its own computer, so it can use many sites the way a person would.
Is it ready for customer-facing work?
It is in beta. Use it for internal tasks first and keep a person approving anything a customer sees.
