30-second summary
xAI launched Grok Bot in early beta on August 11, 2026. The product gives an AI teammate its own computer, lets it sign in to apps and websites, and supports routines, persistent context and multiple Bots working together.
What happened
The official product page is now live with an Apple silicon macOS download, plan eligibility and examples spanning sales, support, paid media, expenses and product operations.
What changed
Grok is no longer only positioned as a conversational assistant, model and creative tool. Grok Bot moves xAI into delegated computer work: users hand over a project, review approvals and receive finished output.
Who can use it
The product is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams and SuperGrok Heavy. The page advertises desktop and iOS use, while the current download section explicitly lists Apple silicon macOS.
Why it matters
The launch validates a broader shift from chatbots toward persistent agents with tools, memory and independent execution. Grok Bot enters a field that already includes OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Claude Cowork and Manus.
Our take
The product story is unusually concrete: computer, accounts, routines, roles and handoffs. The next test is operational trust. Reliability, audit logs, access controls and predictable limits will matter more than polished demos.
Is Grok Bot generally available?
No. xAI labels the product an early beta.
When did Grok Bot launch?
xAI announced Grok Bot on August 11, 2026.
