What is Grok Bot?
Grok Bot gives you AI teammates with names, jobs and memory that work on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal. They sign in to the tools you already use, finish multi-step jobs across apps and websites, keep running when your laptop is closed, and come back when something needs your approval. It is made by SpaceXSI (formerly xAI) and Cursor, both now owned by SpaceX.
Cursor launched Grok Bot in early beta on 11 August 2026 for SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers, then widened access. Today it is included in The X Subscription's Premium, Super and Ultra tiers (from $30 a month) and on every legacy paid Cursor plan, but not on Plus or Free. You sign in with a Cursor account, and the computers run in Cursor's cloud, in the US.
The documentation is blunt about one design choice: all of your Bots share one computer. Files, browser sessions and app logins on it are visible to every Bot you run, so separate Bots are not a security boundary. Apps run on macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android.
How much does Grok Bot cost?
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| X Subscription Premium | $30/month ($300 annual) | Shared weekly pool with Cursor and Grok |
| X Subscription Super | $100/month ($1,000 annual) | Larger weekly pool |
| X Subscription Ultra | $200/month ($2,000 annual) | Largest weekly pool |
| Legacy Cursor paid plans | Existing plan price | Pro, Pro+, Ultra and Teams include weekly Grok Bot usage |
Included in The X Subscription Premium $30/month, Super $100 and Ultra $200 (annual $300, $1,000, $2,000), drawing on the same weekly pool as Cursor and Grok; not on Plus ($8) or Free. Also included on legacy Cursor Pro, Pro+, Ultra and Teams plans, or via a linked SuperGrok or X Premium+ subscription. Free trial credit with a 7-day window; extra usage from prepaid credit.
Is Grok Bot worth it?
One assistant is useful. What you often want is three: one watching the sales inbox, one updating the spreadsheet, one researching the next lead, each getting on with it.
Grok Bot is built for that. You create several Bots with names and jobs, and they work on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, files and a terminal, logged into your tools, through the night if you like. If you already pay $30 a month for The X Subscription's Premium tier, or for a paid Cursor plan, it is included at no extra cost, which makes it the cheapest of the paid always-on agents to try.
The approval tools are thorough. Each approval prompt lists the planned action and its inputs, with Allow once, Always allow and Deny. A separate Auto Review model checks risky actions such as shell commands, app calls and computer use before they run, and Enterprise admins can lock it on. Bots never receive your OAuth tokens, a Bot can never hold more access than you, and for logins, two-factor codes and payments the Bot hands control back to you.
The catch: the shared computer. The docs say all your Bots use one machine, and anything on it is visible to every Bot, so a Bot you set up to read untrusted websites sits next to the browser session where another one is logged into your bank. Unless your team sets a network policy, outbound traffic defaults to allow-all, and network controls, audit logs and enforced Auto Review are Enterprise-only. Auto Review does not check memory writes or most settings changes, you cannot inspect or delete individual memories, and deleting a Bot leaves its files and logins behind. Training is off only if Privacy Mode is on.
Our take: Grok Bot is a strong deal for a Cursor or X subscriber who wants several helpers at once, and a weak one for anyone who needs those helpers kept apart. One Bot per sensitive account, on a computer you clean yourself, is the safe way to run it.
Where it earns its place
A solo developer already on X Subscription Premium
Have one Bot triage GitHub issues and another draft release notes overnight
Both Bots work on the same cloud computer with a terminal and browser, at no cost beyond the $30 Premium plan; their usage comes out of the same weekly pool as Cursor, so a heavy Bot week leaves less for coding.
A 15-person sales team on Cursor Teams
Update the CRM from email and research prospects without a new tool to buy
Grok Bot is included with Cursor Teams; team-managed connectors may use a service account. Members sign in with Cursor SSO. Without Enterprise there is no network policy, so egress stays allow-all.
A security lead at a 500-person company
Approve agents that touch internal apps without data leaking out
Enterprise adds network controls, team secrets, enforced Auto Review, audit logs and SCIM; Action Recording keeps recordings for 90 days. Computers run only in Cursor's US cloud, with no on-premises option.
Before you commit
- Setup
- Download the Grok Bot app and sign in with your Cursor account; there is no separate login, and existing Cursor SSO applies. You do not need the Cursor editor.
- Integrations
- Built-in connectors and MCP tools, browser logins for apps without an API, an X connector for tagging @bot (not in every region yet), and team-managed connectors on Teams and Enterprise.
- Data and privacy
- If Privacy Mode is on, customer data is not used for training; model providers keep no prompts or outputs under Cursor's zero-retention agreements, except data flagged by abuse classifiers. Files and browser sessions persist on the computer's disk; Bots never receive OAuth tokens. Which AI tools train on your data?
- Cost at scale
- A 20-person team on X Subscription Premium seats pays $600 a month with Grok Bot, Cursor and Grok drawing on one weekly pool; usage beyond the pool comes from prepaid credit.
- Limits
- One computer per account shared by all Bots; each Bot runs one computer-use task at a time; computers run only in Cursor's US cloud; individual memories cannot be inspected or deleted.
What's good
- Included from $30 a month on X Subscription Premium and on legacy paid Cursor plans
- Several named Bots working in parallel, each with its own screen
- Bots never receive OAuth tokens and cannot exceed your own access
- Auto Review model checks risky actions before they run
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android
What's not
- All Bots share one computer; separate Bots are not a security boundary
- Outbound network traffic is allow-all unless a policy is set
- Network controls, audit logs and enforced Auto Review are Enterprise-only
- Training is off only when Privacy Mode is on
- Deleting a Bot leaves its files and browser sessions on the computer
Best for
Cursor or X Subscription users who want several always-on helpers for routine work across web apps and can keep sensitive accounts off the shared computer.
