The short version
- Grok is xAI's family of AI models, available on Grok.com, in apps and inside X.
- Grok Bot, launched in August 2026, gives each AI "teammate" its own cloud computer to work through tasks.
- It suits teams already on X and those wanting background research and outreach. Check data settings first.
Most AI assistants wait for you to ask a question. Grok Bot is designed to keep working after you've closed the tab.
Launched by xAI in August 2026 as "your team of always-on agents", Grok Bot gives each AI helper "a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem, and terminal".[4][3] xAI describes them as "AI teammates with names, jobs, and context that compounds over time".[3]
First, Grok
Grok itself is "a family of Large Language Models (LLMs) developed by xAI", available on Grok.com, in mobile apps and inside X, formerly Twitter.[1] xAI promotes it as "informed by real-time insights" from X.[2] That's its edge: if you need to know what people are saying right now, about your brand, your rivals or your industry, Grok is built for it.
Who it's for
The natural audience is people who already live on X: founders, marketers, media and sales teams. Grok Bot widens that to anyone who wants background work done. xAI's own example is a Bot that reviews a CRM pipeline and drafts outreach.[3] Shared "Team Bots" that "learn as they work" followed in September.[4]
Grok Bot comes bundled with several X and SuperGrok subscriptions and with Grok Business seats.[3]
Before you hand over the keys
An agent with a browser and files is powerful, and that cuts both ways. Use a business plan for business data, give each Bot access only to what the task needs, and review its work before it reaches a customer.
