Release2026-08-11

xAI launched Grok Bot, a beta product in which assistants run on their own cloud machine, sign into everyday work applications and carry tasks through to completion before asking for approval. Users message a bot like a colleague, and can show it a workflow once so it repeats the steps later. Access is limited to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers on desktop and iOS, with a waitlist for enterprise customers.

What changed

Grok's assistants ran as prompts inside a chat session rather than as persistent workers with their own machine.

What it unlocks

Handing a multi-step job to an assistant that signs into existing apps and finishes it, including tools with no developer interface.

What you need to act on it

  • a SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra or Cursor Teams Premium subscription
  • macOS or iOS app
  • enterprise access by waitlist only
