xAI widened access to Grok Bot, its assistant that works on its own in a cloud computer with browser and terminal access, to mid-tier subscriptions including SuperGrok Plus, Cursor Pro+ and both Cursor Teams plans. The product remains in beta after an 11 August launch and is downloaded as a macOS app. Larger company rollouts are still gated behind a waitlist.
