Grok Bot is an AI agent that works with apps and websites on a persistent cloud computer. You give it a task and review the result. Current subscription access starts at $30 a month, and an account’s bots share the same machine and signed-in sessions.

Grok Bot is xAI’s agent product, launched into early beta on 11 August 2026. The pitch, in the company’s words: “Bots are AI teammates that do real work for you. They sign in to your tools, use them just like you do, and come back with finished work.” Where the coding agents put a model inside an editor or a terminal, Grok Bot gives it something closer to a desk: a computer of its own, running around the clock.

How it works

Grok Bot works on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal. The account’s bots share its files, browser sessions and app logins. Each Bot has its own screen and can carry out one computer-use task on that screen at a time. Shared access makes handoffs easier; it also gives the account a shared security boundary.

A bot can use connected services, MCP tools or the computer interface to work across apps. The current computer and apps documentation describes secure forms and Vault or a connected password manager for logins. Bots can also read emailed one-time codes. Saved payment cards have their own permissions: the Vault documentation says a saved card can be used without approval for each transaction. Review those settings before giving an agent access. Bots remember earlier conversations and can learn from screen demonstrations, which are capped at ten minutes.

Current access starts at $30 a month

Grok Bot is included from the Premium tier of X Subscription. The current monthly individual tiers are Free at $0, Plus at $8, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200, before applicable taxes and fees. Plus covers Grok model use; Premium and higher include Grok Bot. Teams start at $30 per user per month.

The current pricing documentation describes a shared Grok usage pool across products. Third-party models in Cursor are billed separately at their API list prices. Existing subscribers can keep legacy Cursor plans; switching to X Subscription is optional and permanent. Those legacy allowances remain distinct from the current subscription terms.

Bots share the account’s computer and data

Two disclosures in the documentation deserve more attention than the launch copy. The first is verbatim: “Do not use separate Bots as a security boundary.” Because the roster shares one computer, files, browser sessions and command-line credentials are available across every bot an account runs. The documentation also says Grok Bot requires data storage and does not support Legacy Privacy Mode. Review that condition alongside the account’s current data settings.
