xAI has launched Grok Bot, an AI agent that gets its own cloud-based computer and can work across websites, inboxes and business applications, moving the company further into the growing market for autonomous workplace software.
Unlike a chatbot that mainly responds to prompts, Grok Bot is designed to take a task and carry it through several steps, including signing into applications, updating records, drafting messages, processing documents and using websites that may not offer dedicated APIs.
The product is in beta and available to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers on desktop and iOS. Enterprise customers can join a waitlist, xAI said.
Each bot operates from a computer hosted in the cloud, allowing it to continue working after the user steps away. Users can communicate with bots through messages and return to the same conversation across desktop and mobile devices.
“There is a huge difference between 90% done and 100% done,” xAI said in its release, describing the product as designed to finish tasks inside the applications where employees normally work.
The company said it initially developed Grok Bot for internal use, where teams deployed the agents for sales outreach, marketing, office operations and software development. SOme of the instances included updating customer-management systems from sales calls, handling invoices received through Gmail and reproducing software bugs before passing them to another agent for debugging.
Users can also operate several bots simultaneously. The agents can exchange information, divide work and communicate in shared conversations, with a supervising bot coordinating specialists responsible for areas such as recruiting, expenses or engineering.
Another feature allows users to demonstrate a workflow once and have the bot save the process as a reusable routine. xAI said the system can remember corrections, previous conversations and preferences about how tasks should be completed.
xAI said Grok Bot is designed to bring users back into the process when a decision requires their approval, while allowing routine work to continue independently.
The company has not disclosed how many users tested the product internally or when enterprise access will become generally available.
