xAI · Cloud teammate
Grok Bot
A named teammate with memory and a cloud computer. It is not the Grok chat.

What it actually is
Grok Bot (xAI, onboarding at cursor.com/bot/onboarding) is a teammate that operates a remote computer: browser, files, terminal. Several bots on the same account share that machine. It is not grok.com and not the Grok that lives on X.
You need an eligible plan (SuperGrok Plus/Heavy or Cursor Pro+, Ultra or Teams), the desktop app (macOS/Windows; iOS exists; no Linux desktop yet) and one job per bot. You handle logins (2FA, CAPTCHA) in Agent Computer. Do not paste secrets in chat.
What it does well
- Named bots with instructions and memory
- Agent Computer (browser, files, terminal) in the cloud
- Handoffs with a review point
- Skills / routines when the process repeats
- Desktop and iOS apps; onboarding via Cursor
Pros
- Finishes work in real tools, not only in a markdown file
- Per-bot memory and job; several bots, one machine
- Routines / skills once the flow is stable
- You own logins and the review point
Cons
- Paid, with a specific onboarding — not «open a website»
- The machine is shared: a sloppy session hits other bots
- Without a clear job, the bot improvises and dirties context
- No Linux desktop yet; iOS does not replace desktop for first setup
Who it is for
- People who already delegate and want one concrete job (research, ops, inbox)
- Work that finishes in real apps (docs, mail, a web admin)
- Cursor teams that want a teammate besides the IDE
Who it is not for
- A quick text chat — use grok.com or ChatGPT
- Code in your local repo — use Cursor or Hermes
- Anyone who cannot sit down and take over a login when the bot gets stuck
FAQ
- Is this the same as Grok on grok.com?
- No. grok.com is a chat. Grok Bot is a teammate with a computer. If you only want to ask a question, do not install this.
- Do I give it my passwords?
- Not in chat. When it needs a login, open Agent Computer, sign in yourself (2FA, CAPTCHA) and return control. The session stays on the account machine.
