Guides
What is Grok Bot? A plain-English guide
Grok Bot gives you named AI Bots that do work on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, files, and a terminal, keep memory, and keep running when your laptop is closed.
What you need
- A plan that includes Grok Bot: The X Subscription Premium, Super, or Ultra, or a legacy paid Cursor plan or linked SuperGrok subscription (see our plan guide)
- The desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) or mobile app (iOS 18+, Android 9+)
Steps
- Create a named Bot and describe its job in a message. There's no workflow builder to set up.
- Connect the apps it needs. It uses connectors where they exist and the browser for everything else.
- Give it a real task with a clear finish line, such as research plus drafts you approve.
- Let it run in the background. Work continues on the cloud computer while your laptop is closed.
- Save what worked as a skill, then schedule it as a routine.
Prompt to copy
You are my research Bot. Pull [list], research the top five items on the web, and leave me a one-page summary with links by tomorrow morning. Don't send or post anything.
Tips
- All your Bots share one cloud computer, including files, browser sessions, and logins. Separate Bots are not a security boundary.
- For important decisions, ask the Bot to check the current source instead of relying on memory.
FAQ
Is Grok Bot the same as the Grok chatbot?
No. Grok Bot is the agent product: Bots with a persistent cloud computer, connectors, memory, skills, and routines that finish multi-step work.
Does Grok Bot keep working when my laptop is closed?
Yes. Work runs on the cloud computer, so closing the app, laptop, or phone doesn't stop a background task or routine.
Can Grok Bot use any website?
Many, including services without a connector. Sites can still block automation or require logins and CAPTCHAs; the Bot hands those steps to you.
