Always-on teammates
Grok Bot
Named agents on one cloud computer — browser, files, terminal, connectors, skills, and routines that keep running after you close the laptop.
A Bot is not a longer chat. You message it (type, dictate, or voice). It does multi-step work inside the tools you already use, posts updates — including drafts and voice memos — and only stops you for a judgment call. Work continues with the app, laptop, or phone closed.
When a Bot fits
| Job | Use |
|---|---|
| One question, a draft, a one-off image | Grok in the browser |
| Edit a repo you have open | Grok Build CLI |
| Publish a demo app from a sentence | Web Build Mode |
| Recurring duty, inbox, CRM, a site with no API, work while you are away | Grok Bot |
A focused Bot (inbox, expenses, recruiting, bugs) beats one catch-all. Add another with New → Create new Bot when the work splits. Do not create a second Bot for a job the first one already owns — hand it the new schedule instead.
Access
- Desktop app: macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows (x64 and Arm64), Linux (x64 and Arm64).
- Mobile: iPhone, iPad (iPadOS 18+), Android 9+.
- Included with paid individual Cursor plans and Cursor Teams, or by linking SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, or SuperGrok Heavy. Usage is its own weekly allowance, separate from chat.
- Org SSO follows the normal Cursor sign-in. The computer runs in Cursor’s cloud.
One computer, many screens
Every Bot on your account shares one persistent cloud computer: browser cookies, files, and command-line credentials. Isolation is between users, not between your Bots. Each Bot gets its own screen, so several can click around at once — but one Bot runs only one computer-use task on its screen at a time.
| Shared | Private to the Bot |
|---|---|
| Files, browser sessions, app logins, CLI credentials | Role, preferences, conversation, summaries of earlier work |
- Open Agent Computer from a conversation to watch clicks, typing, and navigation. You can leave the preview; the job continues.
- Sessions persist, so you usually sign in once. Signing in for one Bot signs in the others. Some sites still expire sessions or demand a human check — the Bot should pause and ask, not bypass it.
- Do not put a credential on the computer if another Bot on the account should not have it. Separate Bots are not a security boundary.
How you talk to it
- Paste text, links, and images. Attach local files.
- Dictate: desktop
Cmd/Ctrl+Dor Start voice input — it types into the composer so you can edit before send. On phones, Start dictation. - Voice chat: Start voice chat on an empty composer (desktop, iPhone, Android).
- Voice memos: a Bot can reply with audio. Play it, or expand for the transcript.
/references a saved skill.@mentions a Bot, group, routine, or connector.- Search (where rolled out) finds Bots, groups, messages, files, links, and routines.
A strong first task names the outcome, the sources, and the constraint:
Outcome: a weekday watch list of accounts that slipped.
Sources: the CRM export in Drive and yesterday’s support mail.
Constraints: never email a customer. If the export is missing, say so —
do not reuse last week’s file.
Done when: five bullets, each with a source link, posted in this chat.Connectors before clicking
Install plugins from Marketplace in the sidebar (Add → OAuth). In chat, @ the connector onto the task. Prefer a connector over computer-use when one exists — it is more reliable than clicking through a website. Computer use is the fallback for tools with no API, and for anything the connector cannot reach.
Skills, then routines
Make the one-time task reliable first. Then save the method. Only then automate it.
| Skill | Routine | |
|---|---|---|
| What | How to do the task | When one Bot runs a workflow |
| Contains | Steps, inputs, checks, output, what needs approval | A schedule, or an event where the product supports it |
| Scope | Available across your Bots (they still need the login) | Owned by one Bot |
Save the process we just used as a skill called “Weekly account health.”
Include the source systems, the risk rules, the output format,
and the rule that customer contact always requires my approval.
Every weekday at 8:00, run Daily customer-risk against the current account list.
Post a linked watch list in this conversation. Do not contact customers.
If the source is unavailable, report the failure. Do not use old data.A skill worth keeping states:
- When to use it
- Required inputs and access
- The sequence
- How to validate
- What to return
- What requires approval
Teach a task
When Teach a task is available, record one browser workflow from the computer view. The Bot drafts a skill from the recording. Review it, run it on a second input, and fix the failure cases before you attach a routine. A sloppy recording becomes a sloppy nightly job.
Bots coordinating
- Bots message each other and can sit in a group chat (small groups, on the order of two to six).
- They pass work and assign ownership. You are not the router between tools.
- Context moves through shared files, direct messages, the group, and explicit handoffs. A common shape is one coordinator plus a specialist per lane (inbox, expenses, bugs).
- For anything that matters, tell the Bot to check the live source. Memory is a summary, not a system of record.
Team Bots (Teams & Enterprise, public beta)
Launched 28 September 2026. A Team Bot is one shared coworker for a role, not a copy per employee. People use it alone or in Slack. The Bot is shared; each person’s conversations stay private.
| Block | What the team puts there |
|---|---|
| Context | Files, instructions, skills, brand and internal docs |
| Plugins | Salesforce, Notion, GitHub, and the rest — per person or for the team |
| Credentials | APIs that have no plugin |
| Memory | What it learns in the role, over time |
Pre-built starting points exist for sales, product, marketing, and data. Team-level skills are shared; per-user chat context is not.
Approvals and the line you do not cross
- Drafts (mail, Slack, and similar) should come back for approval before anything is sent.
- Say the forbidden action in the skill: “never change production settings”, “never contact the customer”.
- If a site asks for a verification challenge, the Bot pauses and notifies you.
- Correct a lasting preference out loud. It will not infer a new rule from one annoyed message.
- Start a thread or a new Bot when the conversation has become a different long-lived job.
Browser Automations are the light version (schedule or email trigger, no cloud computer). Grok Build /loop is the repo version. A Bot routine is the one that can click, file, and sign in.
