Grok Bot is xAI's persistent AI agent product, launched in beta on 11 August 2026. Unlike the Grok chatbot, each bot has its own cloud computer and keeps working after you close your laptop, signing into applications and completing multi-step tasks on its own.

You have access to Grok Bot and want to point it at real work without handing an autonomous agent the keys to your business on day one.

Common questions

What is the difference between Grok and Grok Bot?

Grok is a chatbot: you ask, it answers, the conversation ends. Grok Bot is a persistent agent with its own cloud computer that keeps running when you close your laptop, opens a browser, signs into your tools, and works through multi-step jobs without you watching.

Why does the usage allowance disappear so fast?

Always-on agents read a great deal, and reading costs. Users on the highest tiers have reported exhausting a monthly allocation in a single day. It is a configuration problem rather than a plan-size problem, and one chapter covers the four specific causes and the fix for each.
