What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot in one paragraph

Grok Bot launched in beta on August 11, 2026. Each Bot gets a name, a job title and a job description that steers what it works on and when it should ask you first. Bots work on a cloud computer attached to your account, so they can open web apps, use dashboards and log in to tools through the same interface you would. The idea is simple: Bots come back to you only when something needs a human decision.

The building blocks

• Job description — the instructions that define what the Bot owns and what it should escalate.
• Memory — context the Bot keeps over time, so it does not need to be re-briefed every session.
• Skills — reusable instructions for a task, which any Bot with the right access can use.
• Routines — a workflow assigned to one Bot with a schedule or trigger, so it runs without you asking.
• The cloud computer — a shared machine for your account where Bots browse, sign in and work with files.

How Bots learn a task

Besides writing a skill by hand, you can teach one by demonstration: the Bot records you doing the task (short screen recordings, no audio), drafts a skill from it, and you review the draft. The recommended path is to run a new skill on a real task first and only then turn it into a scheduled routine.

Bots working together

Bots can message each other directly and sit together in group chats with people. That is what makes team-style templates possible: a coordinator Bot hands a task to a research Bot, which hands its findings to a writing Bot, without you routing every step.

One important limitation

All Bots on an account share one computer, the same files, logins and browser sessions. The security boundary is your account, not the individual Bot. If you connect your email for one Bot, assume every Bot on that account could reach it. Plan access with that in mind — and it is a good reason to read a template's instructions before you add it.

Who can use Grok Bot?

At launch the beta was available to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers on macOS, Windows and iOS, with enterprise access by waitlist. Availability is changing quickly during the beta, so check xAI's own pages for the current plans.

Where Grok Bot templates come in

Any Bot can be shared as a public link on x.ai. Someone who opens that link can add an independent copy of the Bot's setup — its instructions, chosen memories, skills and routines — to their own account. Your logins, conversations and keys are not part of the copy. These shared setups are what people call Grok Bot templates, and they are what this directory collects.

Grok Bot vs. the @grok chatbot and Grok Build

• The @grok account and the Grok chat app answer questions in a conversation.
• Grok Build is xAI's terminal coding agent for developers.
• Grok Bot is the always-on agent product with jobs, memory, routines and a cloud computer.

Getting started

The quickest way to see what Grok Bot can do is to add a template that needs no connected accounts — a planner, a research digest or a learning coach — and watch how it uses memory and routines over a week.
