Grok Bot is xAI’s app for AI teammates. It opened in beta on August 11, 2026, and keeps adding features. Each bot has a name, a job, and memory, and does real work on a cloud computer.
Grok chats with you. Grok Bot works for you.
1 · Named bots with a job
Give each bot a name and a focused job description, such as Researcher or Operator.
2 · Memory
Bots remember what they learn and get better at their role over time.
3 · A cloud computer
Bots work on a cloud computer with a browser, files, and a terminal.
4 · Works while you are away
Tasks keep running when your laptop is closed.
5 · Desktop and mobile apps
Use it on macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad, and Android.
6 · Plugins and connectors
Connect apps such as Notion, GitHub, and Salesforce so bots can work inside them.
7 · Screen use
When no connector exists, a bot can use a website like a person.
8 · Credentials for APIs
Team Bots can get secure access to third-party APIs that have no plugin.
9 · Reconnect cards
When a service such as X or Vercel asks you to sign in again, the bot shows a reconnect card instead of failing quietly.
10 · Gmail send-as addresses
Email drafts can go out from a verified Gmail send-as address, with a From picker when you have more than one.
11 · Skills by showing
Do a browser workflow once while the bot watches, and it can save it as a skill.
12 · Routines
Turn a skill into a routine that runs on a schedule, such as every Monday at 9:00.
13 · Group chats
Several bots can share context in one chat and hand work to each other.
14 · Slide decks
Added on October 7, 2026: bots can create slide decks.
15 · Approvals
Bots send drafts and voice memos for approval and ask before consequential actions.
16 · Auto-review
A separate check on risky actions, such as shell commands, plugin calls, and computer use. Add your own rules in Settings.
17 · Secure Forms
Sensitive details, including card fields at checkout, go into a Secure Form that fills the page, instead of being typed into chat.
18 · Team Bots
In public beta since September 28, 2026, on Teams and Enterprise plans: shared bots with shared skills, files, and memory, while each person’s chats stay private.
19 · Bots in Slack
Each Team Bot gets its own Slack handle and can be invited to channels. Pre-built Team Bots exist for sales, product, marketing, and data.
20 · More languages
Since October 5, 2026, settings include Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Swahili, and Hausa.
Grok Bot is available to SuperGrok subscribers, Cursor paid plans, and teams, with a usage allowance that resets weekly. Check xAI’s site for current plans and limits.
Do not try all 20 features at once. Pick the three that save you the most time, and keep approvals on.
This week, create one bot, teach it one skill, and turn it into one routine.
