xAI launches Grok Bot, AI agents that operate apps as persistent digital coworkers for $120 per month

SpaceXAI has launched Grok Bot, a persistent AI agent designed to operate applications and execute multi-step workflows autonomously. Operating on its own cloud-based computer environment, Grok Bot can run 24/7, control legacy software lacking APIs, and coordinate with other Bots. The service is available in beta starting at $120 per seat monthly for teams and $200 for individuals, positioning SpaceXAI to compete directly with agentic offerings from Anthropic and OpenAI.

Grok Bot launch

• ▪SpaceXAI launched the beta version of Grok Bot, an AI agent designed to execute work continuously across software applications, on August 11, 2026.
• ▪Grok Bot is available on desktop and iOS for SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers, with an Android version listed as coming soon.

Persistent agent architecture

• ▪Users can teach Grok Bot a repeatable business process by having the agent watch a demonstrated workflow, which the Bot then saves as an executable routine.
• ▪Grok Bot automatically routes tasks to underlying models on the backend without allowing users to explicitly select, pin, or switch the model being used.
• ▪Grok Bot supports multi-agent coordination, allowing users to place multiple specialized Bots into a single thread or group chat where they can independently delegate tasks and share context.
• ▪Grok Bot can sign into and operate applications and websites directly through their user interfaces, including legacy platforms that lack a clean API or Model Context Protocol.
• ▪Grok Bot operates through its own cloud-based computer environment, allowing tasks to continue running even when a user's local device is closed or offline.

Pricing tiers

• ▪For organizations, Grok Bot is accessible via the Cursor Premium Teams plan, which costs $120 per seat per month.
• ▪For individual users, Grok Bot is included with the Cursor Ultra subscription plan, which costs $200 per month.

Subscription plans

• ▪The Cursor Premium Teams plan adds centralized billing, a team marketplace for skills and plugins, shared usage analytics, and SAML/OIDC single sign-on.
• ▪Existing subscribers of the SuperGrok Heavy plan, which costs $300 per month, receive access to Grok Bot as part of their subscription.

Competitive AI agents

• ▪OpenAI competes in the enterprise agent space with its Codex harness, Workspace Agents that connect to third-party apps, and the ChatGPT Work environment for multi-step tasks.
• ▪Anthropic competes in the agent market with its computer-use capability for Claude, the developer-focused Claude Code harness, and the white-collar focused Claude Cowork agent.

Internal SpaceXAI adoption

• ▪Grok Bot originated as an internal prototype within SpaceXAI, where employees created Bots to handle sales outbound, marketing campaigns, office operations, and bug fixes.
• ▪SpaceX acquired the development platform Cursor for $60 billion in June 2026, prior to integrating Grok Bot into Cursor's subscription tiers.
