You'll need a paid SpaceXAI or Cursor plan to get started.

In August, SpaceXAI opened the early public beta of Grok Bot, an agent platform "teammate" that signs into tools like Gmail, LinkedIn and Salesforce and performs actions on your behalf. One of which is its creatively stunted title, which is often confused with Grok chatbots and its constant tagging in X posts.

"Regular" Grok works primarily as a chatbot or conversational assistant, responding to prompts. Then there's Grok Build, a coding agent in your terminal that writes, edits, tests and ships software. Grok Bot is a digital work assistant.

You can give it a task and let it go to work in your apps or on your websites. Grok Bot was originally the brain child of Cursor, codenamed Sand, and partially built on SpaceXAI's compute.

You can have one bot or many bots, all on a shared cloud computer for that account.

As the early beta label implies, Grok Bot is not a polished, finished product and its features and reliability are subject to change as SpaceXAI expands and gathers feedback.

Grok Bot Early Beta is available to paying subscribers on specific SpaceXAI and Cursor plans.

The Grok Bot main page displays a prominent download button, which will cater for the OS you're now running.

To give SpaceXAI's Grok Bot a try, visit the official Grok Bot page and select the relevant download option.

The appeal of Grok Bot is delegation.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is Engadget's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
