Grok Bot is xAI's always-on AI teammate with its own cloud computer. Here is what people are actually running it for, from Bot teams with one job each to paper-trading research desks, plus which plans already include it. Every item links the original post and says clearly what is claimed versus confirmed. Nothing here is investment advice.

Grok Bot's Mac app gained access to Apple's own apps on November 12, 2026: Messages, Mail, Notes, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts and Location. You grant each one separately, and once an app is on, the Bot can read and send messages, search and draft emails, read and write notes, set and check reminders, and manage calendar events and contacts on your behalf. Until now, people who lived in Apple's apps had to forward mail to the Bot or build their own workarounds.
Why it matters: A lot of real life (family texts, Apple Calendar, Reminders) sits in apps that had no connector. Now a Bot can, for example, spot a plan in a group chat and put it on your calendar.
Good for:
Mac users who run their day in Apple's built-in apps and use Grok Bot.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot desktop app for macOS, announced by the official @bot account on November 12, 2026. Included with Grok Bot plans (The X Subscription Premium or higher for new buyers; existing SuperGrok and Cursor plans keep access). macOS asks for permission per app.
Grok Bot 1.0 is the first non-beta release of SpaceXSI's AI teammates. A Bot can now be shared with a whole team and used inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, where it follows multi-person threads, learns each person's preferences and remembers decisions. It can join Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams calls, answer in the meeting chat and send a summary with action items afterwards. The bigger change is initiative: a Bot can notice an upcoming deadline or an unfinished task and offer to take it on, while asking first before sensitive actions and respecting each person's permissions.
Why it matters: Most assistants wait for a prompt; this one is designed to watch the team's work and volunteer, which changes how much you can hand off without writing a task list.
Good for:
Small teams, ops and project leads who already live in Slack or Teams and want one shared AI teammate instead of everyone running their own.
Plan & availability:
Available from November 11, 2026. Team Bots are on Team and Enterprise plans; Meetings are on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans, and Enterprise admins switch Meetings on in settings. Microsoft Teams needs a team admin to enable it and a Teams admin to approve the Bot. Checked on x.ai/news and x.ai/changelog/bot on November 11, 2026.
Gopuff launched a connector that lets Grok Bot shop its delivery catalogue end to end. Once you link your Gopuff account, you can ask for something like a weekly grocery order or cold medicine and tissues, and the Bot builds a cart from what is actually in stock at your nearest Gopuff micro-fulfillment center, then shows the total and the estimated delivery time. You choose a payment method and approve the order in the same conversation, so there is no hand-off to an app or website. Prices, promotions and delivery windows come from the same systems as Gopuff's own app.
Why it matters: It is one of the first cases of an AI agent completing a real purchase and delivery inside the chat, with you approving the final cart, rather than just recommending products.
Good for:
Grok Bot users in areas Gopuff serves who want quick snack, grocery or pharmacy runs without opening another app.
Plan & availability:
Live from November 11, 2026 for Grok Bot users who connect a Gopuff account. Delivery only where Gopuff operates (selected US and UK areas; check your address in the Gopuff app). Normal Gopuff prices and fees apply; Gopuff says delivery can take as little as 15 minutes. Checked on Gopuff's newsroom on November 11, 2026.
Grok Bot can now join your personal tailnet or your company's tailnet on Tailscale, so it can reach private MCP servers, internal tools and apps on your network without you exposing them to the public internet. The Bot joins as a device tied to your own identity, so your tailnet access rules and audit logs still apply. On Tailscale Premium or Enterprise, admins can use a custom grokbot posture to let the Bot reach only chosen servers, such as tagged MCP servers, instead of everything your laptop can reach.
Why it matters: Lots of useful company data sits behind a VPN. This lets an always-on agent use internal MCP servers and dashboards while you keep tight, auditable control of what it can touch.
Good for:
Grok Bot users and team admins who run internal MCP servers, dashboards or tools on Tailscale.
Plan & availability:
Through the Tailscale plugin in the Grok Bot desktop app (Connect apps > Your plugins). Personal tailnet: the member must own or administer it. Company tailnet: a team admin enables it under Integrations > Tailscale and needs Tailscale Premium or Enterprise; xAI's plugin page lists company tailnets as beta. Grok Bot needs a Grok Bot plan (sold through The X Subscription for new buyers). Checked against the official X post, the Tailscale plugin README and Tailscale's blog on November 11, 2026.
After users complained about Grok Bot burning through its allowance and getting less sharp, Elon Musk posted on November 8 that fixes for better token efficiency and smarter behavior were underway. Early on November 9 he followed up after a round-table review with the Grok Bot engineering team: fixes were being implemented overnight, users should notice a dramatic improvement by the next day, and anyone who didn't could reply to his post so the team could address remaining issues right away. The post drew more than 7,000 replies.
Why it matters: If your Bots were running out of allowance fast or forgetting context, this is the moment to re-test them and report what's still wrong while the team is actively collecting feedback.
Good for:
Grok Bot users on The X Subscription, SuperGrok or eligible Cursor plans who hit quota or quality problems in the past week.
Applies to:
Applies to all Grok Bot users. Musk's posts don't list specific changes or a changelog, so judge the improvement on your own tasks. Posted November 8 and 9, 2026; checked on X on November 9, 2026.
Brian Roemmele shared a Grok Bot, "Any Video Into A Magazine", that follows the YouTube channels and podcasts you choose and, once a week, rewrites each new episode as a magazine-style feature. He says each issue includes real frames from the videos with captions, word-for-word pull quotes, a finished EPUB for your Kindle and a newsletter in your inbox, with every story crediting and linking back to the creator. His pitch: a three-hour podcast becomes a ten-minute read. Elon Musk reposted it.
Why it matters: Most people's 'watch later' list never gets watched. A weekly digest you can actually read is a practical, low-risk first job for an always-on agent.
Good for:
Busy people with a pile of saved videos and podcasts, Kindle readers, and newsletter writers who follow a set of shows.
Plan & availability:
Shared as a Grok Bot template on x.ai on November 9, 2026. Needs Grok Bot (The X Subscription Premium or higher for new customers, or an eligible SuperGrok or Cursor plan) and uses your Bot allowance. Keep the issues for personal reading and link back to creators, as the Bot does.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Creator Alex Finn shared six things his Grok Bot does around the clock and invited people to copy them. It checks AI companies' X accounts every 15 minutes and alerts him to big news, built and maintains a site he says earns revenue with no effort from him, clicks through the two apps he's building to find bugs and open pull requests for his review, repurposes his social posts into newsletter material, answers questions in his community, and reads PostHog retention data to flag at-risk subscribers and draft outreach that waits for his OK. He also says other agents can do the same jobs; he just finds Grok Bot easier.
Why it matters: It's a concrete list of always-on jobs you can copy, and most keep a human approval step before anything ships or gets sent.
Good for:
Solo founders, creators and small teams who want a 24/7 agent watching news, apps or customers for them.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot is included in existing SuperGrok and Cursor Pro, Pro+, Ultra and Teams plans; new customers get it through The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier. The jobs use the X plugin, a browser and connectors you set up yourself. The revenue claim is the author's own. Posted on X on November 7, 2026.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
The official Grok Bot account announced on November 4, 2026 that Grok Bot can now make phone calls. You tell your Bot who to call and why, and it dials, gets through the phone menu, waits on hold and talks to the person, while you watch a live transcript. If the other side asks for something like a PIN, it asks you in the chat and passes on your answer, and you get a summary afterwards. Hours later Arthur MacWaters posted that his Bot was calling a dentist to see if they take his insurance, and Elon Musk shared it: 'Grok @Bot can call your dentist on the phone!'
Why it matters: Small calls like checking insurance, booking appointments or asking about a bill eat time because of hold music and phone menus. Handing them off while you read the transcript later gives that time back.
Good for:
Busy people who put off routine calls to doctors, dentists, utilities and service providers.
Plan & availability:
Announced by Grok Bot on November 4, 2026. Users report it calls US numbers and asks you to accept a calling card once before the first call. Calls say they're made by a virtual assistant and may be recorded, and they can't be used for marketing, mass calls or emergency services. Some companies won't act on an account over an AI call. Checked on Grok Bot's X post on November 5, 2026.
A Grok Bot user shared how he made his Bot react to real life instead of a clock: when he stops his morning alarm, his iPhone sends a webhook to Grok Bot, and a routine starts preparing his daily briefing. He asked his Bot to create a briefing routine with a webhook trigger, then built an iPhone Shortcuts automation on 'Alarm is stopped' that POSTs to the routine's URL with the Bot's Authorization key. xAI's docs confirm routines can be triggered by a webhook call, with the key sent as a Bearer token. He suggests the same idea for leaving work, connecting to CarPlay, arriving home or tapping an NFC tag.
Why it matters: Routines that start when something happens fit your day better than fixed schedules: the briefing is ready when you're actually up, even on a lie-in.
Good for:
Grok Bot users on iPhone who want hands-free triggers for briefings, commutes or evening routines.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; legacy SuperGrok and Cursor paid plans also include it. Webhook-triggered routines are in xAI's Grok Bot docs; the alarm trigger uses Apple's Shortcuts app (Personal Automation) on iPhone. Checked on the creator's X post and xAI's 'Skills and routines' docs on November 5, 2026.
A Grok Bot user says his main Bot, Mika, built him a 3D 'campus' for his bot teams after he kept sending it back for changes: a flat page became 3D rooms, then got fitted to his phone. He walks into any team's room to see what each bot is working on and approves work right there, without opening a chat. A usage battery at the top shows how much of the week's allowance is gone, and one tap shows which team and which bots burn the most tokens. He says it's not a built-in feature, and he open-sourced the repo: you give your main Bot the link, approve its connections, and it builds and deploys the page itself. His post drew over 20,000 views.
Why it matters: Once you run several bots, the hard part is seeing who is doing what and what it costs. A per-team view of work and token use is a pattern worth copying, 3D or not.
Good for:
Grok Bot users running several teams of bots who want one place to supervise them and track weekly usage.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; legacy SuperGrok and Cursor paid plans also include it. The campus is a community project, not an xAI feature; the creator says it only works with Grok Bot and is built around a main Bot, team leads, groups and routines. Read any repo before letting your Bot deploy it.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A trader on X is posting a daily log of a paper-trading experiment: several Grok Bot trading agents, each given $10,000 of simulated money. On day 10 he reported that his best agent, a SPY/TSLA strategy, had six green days in a row and a paper balance of $16,719.60, up 67.2% since it started on October 26, while agents #6, #7 and #8 had been retired and six were still running. He labels every update 'paper trading, NFA' (not financial advice). This is a look at what people are testing, not investment advice: ten days of paper results, after the losers were removed, say very little about how a strategy would do with real money.
Why it matters: Running several agents side by side and retiring the weak ones is a sensible way to test ideas safely. Just remember the survivors will always look good on a short chart.
Good for:
People curious about agent-run trading strategies who want to experiment without risking money.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; legacy SuperGrok and Cursor paid plans also include it. Results are self-reported, paper trading only, with no real money involved. Not investment advice.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
An X user shared a roughly two-minute atmospheric video and explained how her Grok Bot made it. She gave it a handful of images in one shared style and, unsure what to do with them, asked the bot for ideas. After she picked a direction based on her taste, the bot animated the images, generated extra matching images where it thought they were needed, edited the sequence and added a soundtrack. Her tip: ask for a few-second sample first so you don't burn through your usage, and take the bot's creative suggestions seriously.
Why it matters: It shows an agent handling the whole small-video pipeline, from ideas to edit to music, from just a mood board.
Good for:
Creators, small brands and hobbyists who have a visual style in mind but no video editing time.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot plans with image and video generation; long videos use more of your weekly allowance.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Min Choi says his daughter hurt her foot at dance practice, so he described her symptoms to Grok Bot while driving. The Bot suggested nearby clinics, including a pediatric orthopedist with X-rays on site, and offered to call when they opened. It made the call, got a 9:30 appointment that same day, and asked him follow-up questions in real time when the receptionist needed details. It also asked about insurance, payment options and pricing, had the intake forms emailed to him, and put the visit on his calendar. He says the receptionist knew the call was recorded, and he could replay it afterwards.
Why it matters: Booking a doctor is the kind of call that's urgent, fiddly and impossible while driving. It's a clear real-life example of what Grok Bot's phone calls feature can do once you're there to answer its questions live.
Good for:
Busy parents and anyone who needs appointments booked but can't sit on the phone.
Plan & availability:
Uses Grok Bot's built-in phone calls (Grok Bot 0.77 or later) on a plan that includes Grok Bot. Results depend on the clinic and your account's rollout.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Creator Peter Yang asked his Grok Bot to phone Comcast about his internet bill. He told it he was paying $84 a month and that rival Sonic was offering fiber for $49, and to use that as leverage. In his recording, the Bot navigates the phone menu, answers small talk ('I don't actually have eyes on the sky' when the rep asked about the weather), turns down three upsells, and leans on the rival offer. He says it got him a lower price and faster speed, worth almost $500 a year. He also shares more prompts to try: cancelling a gym, waiting on hold with an airline, booking tables and getting contractor quotes.
Why it matters: Bill negotiation is the phone call everyone puts off. This shows the new calling feature handling a real, pushy retention call. It works best when you give the Bot the facts and your limits up front.
Good for:
Anyone in the US who hates waiting on hold or haggling over bills, cancellations and refunds.
Plan & availability:
Uses Grok Bot's built-in phone calls, which @bot announced on November 4. Calls currently work only with US numbers, and each call identifies itself as a virtual assistant. Results will vary by company and rep.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Investor and podcaster Jason Calacanis posted that he spends under $40,000 a year on tokens and subscriptions from Anthropic, Lovable, Grok Bot, ElevenLabs and a long tail of other tools, and gets more than $2 million in value across his companies LAUNCH and This Week in Startups. He says they've automated at least seven full-time jobs and are about twice as fast at the average task. His advice: if you haven't spent around 30 hours a week with the products released in the last 90 days, you don't know how much has changed. The post passed 300,000 views within hours.
Why it matters: It's a rare public cost-versus-value number from someone running real companies. Even if the figures are rough, the ratio is why so many small teams are rebuilding their workflows around agents right now.
Good for:
Founders, small-business owners and team leads deciding whether paid AI tools pay for themselves.
Plan & availability:
His numbers are his own estimate and weren't broken down by tool. Every product he names has its own paid plans, and some have free tiers.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Developer Koshik showed a small local service he calls an agent bus that lets his Grok Bot and an active Claude Code session talk to each other. Every agent connects to the one service, which passes messages using MCP, the Agent Client Protocol, Claude channels and Grok Bot webhooks. He was replying to a popular post wishing a Grok Bot could spin up Claude sessions. In his demo video the bots hand work back and forth without him copying anything between windows.
Why it matters: Most people still copy and paste between agents. A shared message bus lets a planning bot hand tasks to a coding agent and get results back on its own.
Good for:
Developers who run both Grok Bot and Claude Code and want them to coordinate.
Plan & availability:
A personal project shown on X, not a released product. You need Grok Bot (paid) and Claude Code (paid Claude plan or API).
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
SpaceXSI's data science team built Data Bot, a shared Team Bot in Grok Bot that anyone at the company can message or add to a Slack channel. The team taught it through skills: how core metrics like active users and revenue are defined and queried, how to investigate a spike or drop (checking holidays or logging changes first), how to run and read A/B tests, chart style rules, and dbt conventions. It queries the warehouse, writes reports and builds Databricks or Hex dashboards, and it has shared memory that the team approves before it's shared. PMs use it for usage questions, marketers to see what campaign recipients did next. SpaceXSI estimates it handled about 70 hours of data-team work last week.
Why it matters: It's a template for any small expert team that has become a bottleneck: teach one shared bot how you work, and everyone else gets answers in minutes while the experts keep the hard questions.
Good for:
Data, analytics and ops teams fielding the same questions every day, and PMs and marketers waiting on them.
Plan & availability:
Team Bots are a Grok Bot feature; check what your Grok Bot plan includes. Data Bot itself is SpaceXSI's internal bot, so you'd build your own with your warehouse and skills. SpaceXSI's team also used Databricks, Hex, dbt, Braze and Slack.
HyperGrok Trading Desk is an open-source template that sets up a team of seven Grok Bot roles: Desk Lead, Market Analyst, Research Analyst, Strategist, Risk Manager, Execution Trader and Trade Reviewer. Only the Execution Trader can ever hold exchange keys, the desk starts in research mode, and every trade needs your approval. It's a hands-on way to learn how multi-bot teams split work, check each other and keep a human in charge. Version 1.7.1 shipped on November 1, and a keyless demo shows the morning briefing without connecting any wallet.
Why it matters: It's a clear, working example of role separation in a bot team: analysts can't trade, the trader can't decide alone and a reviewer checks the result. That pattern carries over to any high-stakes workflow.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who want to learn multi-bot team design on a realistic but low-risk example. Paper trading only, not investment advice.
Plan & availability:
Free and open source (MIT). Needs Grok Bot, which is a paid plan; it also runs in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI. Paper trading only, not investment advice: stay in research mode or use a testnet wallet with play money, and never connect real funds to an experimental agent. Checked November 1, 2026.
Investor Justine Moore (a16z) told her Grok Bot to surprise her with a present, let it spend up to $100 from her X Money account, and asked it to use her tweets and their past chats to choose. The package later arrived, with a small Halloween extra. Elon Musk quoted the post on November 1 saying Grok Bot will research gifts your friends and family would love and buy them, and the pair of posts passed 800,000 views. It's an early public example of an agent that picks, pays and ships on its own inside a hard budget.
Why it matters: Gift shopping is research plus taste plus checkout, and this shows an agent doing all three with a spending cap. The holiday season is a natural test for it, and the $100 limit is the pattern to copy.
Good for:
Grok Bot users in the US with X Money, and anyone curious how far to trust an agent with a card.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot needs an eligible X or Grok plan. X Money is only offered where X supports it (currently US states), and Grok Bot connects it when you connect X. Musk's post describes the gift use case; xAI hasn't published a separate gift-shopping feature page.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Developer Lauren (poteto) shipped tibo's game at tibo.dog, a browser arcade game made with Grok Bot orchestrating a Cursor project. She says it took 4 days as a side project and landed around 1,150 pull requests. Her rules are the interesting part: every bug she found became a lint rule, TLA+ formal specs checked the story, cutscene and game state machines, per-frame code lives in .hot.ts files where allocations are banned, and code comments are banned in favour of better names and tests. The music and pixel art are generated by code, the simulation is deterministic so high scores are replayed server-side, and the first download stays around 124 KB gzipped.
Why it matters: It shows how a solo builder can keep an agent fast and safe at once: turn every mistake into an automatic check, so the agent can't repeat it on the next PR.
Good for:
Developers running coding agents on real projects, and game makers curious how far a weekend side project can go.
Plan & availability:
The game is free to play at tibo.dog. Grok Bot and Cursor need their own accounts and plans. Her workflow is her own; she says about 80% of her time went into playtesting and feeding notes back to the bot.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
After a user asked Elon Musk on X for a Grok Bot reset because lots of people said their usage ran out fast this week, Musk replied that the cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue. The reply drew millions of views and thousands of replies, many from users saying they had hit their weekly cap early and were waiting for it to refresh. No reset was announced in the reply, and no new limit numbers were published with it.
Why it matters: It's a rare direct statement that tighter Grok Bot usage reflects cost, not a glitch, so heavy users shouldn't count on a quick reset.
Good for:
Grok Bot subscribers who rely on it daily and keep hitting their weekly usage cap.
Applies to:
Applies to Grok Bot plans; check your own usage page for your current allowance and refresh date, since limits differ by plan.
Erwin Fennema says he built StatementBridge, a niche financial software product, almost entirely with AI. It started as an internal tool and is now a live SaaS with paying customers. His setup splits the work between agents: Grok Bot manages development and gives instructions, Claude Code writes the code inside Cursor, Codex reviews the code separately, and automated tests run before GitHub deploys it to Render. His post passed 600,000 views.
Why it matters: Using one agent to write and a different one to review copies how real teams catch mistakes. Adding tests before every deploy is what makes a setup like this safe enough to charge customers for.
Good for:
Solo founders and small teams who want to ship a real product with agents and still keep quality checks in place.
Plan & availability:
Each tool needs its own plan: Grok Bot, Cursor with Claude Code, Codex, GitHub and Render. He hasn't shared his prompts or costs. Results depend on your product and how good your tests are.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Scott Billows says his business has a traditional sales cycle that can take months. His team pointed Grok Bot at their sales tools and asked it to surface past prospects and customers worth contacting again. Two weeks in, they closed their first deal from the list: Grok Bot pulled a former customer out of the records and handed it to an account executive, who reached out, pitched and won the deal. He says they most likely wouldn't have contacted that customer without it.
Why it matters: Old leads and lapsed customers are some of the cheapest sales a business can win, but nobody has time to dig through years of records. An agent that reads your CRM and hands over a short list is an easy first job to give one.
Good for:
Small-business owners, sales leads and account executives with a CRM full of old contacts.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot plans apply, and it needs access to your sales tools such as your CRM or email. He didn't say which tools or plan he used. One deal is an anecdote, not a promise.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Julian Goldie shared how he built "Grok Jarvis" with no code: a Grok Bot that holds a calm, slightly dry personality, plus a Page it builds from plain English as a live screen. Saying "Good morning, Jarvis" gets a spoken brief on what every bot did and what's waiting on him. A Systems panel lists all 31 of his active bots with status lights, and a Waiting on you list lines up decisions with Approve or Later buttons that only tick off on screen. When the first version broke, he pasted the error and it fixed its own work. The post passed 500,000 views.
Why it matters: Once you run more than a handful of bots, keeping track of them becomes the job. A single talking dashboard is a simple fix that anyone can copy.
Good for:
Grok Bot users running several bots who want one place to see status and pending decisions.
Plan & availability:
Needs Grok Bot (paid, about $30 a month per reports) and Pages. This is one user's build shared on X, not an official template.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A Grok Bot user shared a bot he calls Family Cyber Shield, built to keep his family safer online without constant scary alerts. He says it helps set up DNS filtering on a phone and Mac to block known scam and harmful sites, walks you through turning on the Mac firewall, helps set up passkeys and two-factor sign-in, and flags suspicious emails, double-checking before it raises an alarm. You make each change yourself, and he says the bot never asks for passwords or codes. He shared it as a template others can copy.
Why it matters: Most families never finish basic security setup because it's tedious. A patient bot that explains each step can get it done without handing over any passwords.
Good for:
Parents and anyone who ends up as the family's tech support.
Plan & availability:
Needs a Grok Bot plan (The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up, or existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers). The template link is in the creator's post. Never share passwords or one-time codes with any bot. Checked October 31, 2026.
Note: shared by a user on X; we haven't tested this template ourselves.
Builder Alex Lunder made a rough Grok Bot wearable on a Pebble Time 2 smartwatch. You speak to the watch, it sends the request to his own Grok Bot, and the answer shows up on his wrist; he can also reply by voice from a notification. He built it with the Pebble SDK and shared a short video of it working. It's a home-made project, not an official xAI product, but it shows how a personal agent can reach a cheap wearable you might already own.
Why it matters: People keep asking for AI glasses and pins. A watch you already wear can do much of the same job for quick questions and reminders.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who tinker with gadgets, and Pebble owners who want voice access to their agent.
Plan & availability:
A personal project, not a product. Needs a Grok Bot plan and a Pebble watch plus the Pebble SDK to build something similar. Checked October 31, 2026.
Note: shared by its builder on X; we haven't tried it ourselves.
Builder @everestchris6 made a free, open-source iPhone shortcut that sends what's on your screen to your Grok Bot when you hold the Action Button. You can then ask about the video you're watching, have it break down an article, or tell it to build something you saw in a reel for your business. He says it can watch videos, read posts and check the web, and it's fully customizable, for example to talk back while you scroll. His post passed 2,800 likes and 1.6 million views. It's a community shortcut, not a built-in Grok Bot feature.
Why it matters: It turns Grok Bot into a screen-aware helper on your phone with one button, without copying links or taking screenshots by hand.
Good for:
Grok Bot users with an iPhone that has an Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro and later) who often want help with what they're looking at.
Plan & availability:
The shortcut is free, but Grok Bot itself needs a paid plan of The X Subscription. Each press sends a capture of your screen, so avoid using it on banking, passwords or private messages. Get it from the link in the creator's thread.
Note: shared by its creator on X; we haven't tested the shortcut ourselves.
xAI's developer docs say that from November 7, 2026, text from grok-4.7, grok-4.6, grok-4.5, grok-4.3 and the grok-4.20 reasoning, non-reasoning and multi-agent models will carry an invisible statistical watermark by default. It covers the Responses and Chat Completions APIs, including structured outputs and tool-call arguments. xAI says it's for EU AI Act transparency rules, needs no code changes and doesn't affect quality or speed. Watermarked responses carry an x-watermark: true header, team admins can opt out per model in the Console, and access to the detection API is by application.
Why it matters: If you ship Grok-written text to customers or must meet EU AI Act rules, you'll want to know it's marked, and decide per model whether to keep it on.
Good for:
Developers and team admins using the xAI API in products, especially those serving users in the EU.
Applies to:

A Cybertruck owner found a way to talk straight to his own Grok Bot from the truck, instead of only reaching the regular Grok assistant built into the car. He opens the Tesla's web browser, goes to x.com or grok.com, picks the specific Grok Bot he wants, taps voice call and allows the car's microphone. He says it needs no app and no special setup. That means the bot that already knows your calendar, inbox and tasks can take requests on the drive, like adding a reminder or prepping a meeting brief.
Why it matters: Your car's built-in assistant doesn't know your work. A voice call to your own bot brings its memory, connected apps and routines into the drive.
Good for:
Tesla owners who already use Grok Bot and want hands-free access while parked or on the road.
Plan & availability:
Needs a Grok Bot plan (The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up, or existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers) and a Tesla with the web browser. The browser and microphone behavior may vary by car model, software version and region. Only start or manage calls when it's safe, following local laws. Checked October 30, 2026.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Economist Peter St Onge posted that in his first week with Grok Bot he bought concert tickets for a festival with 70 punk bands and asked his Bot to build a YouTube playlist of each band's top songs to send to his kids. He says it took him 30 seconds, and that doing it by hand would have taken so long he wouldn't have bothered. The post passed 750,000 views, and Elon Musk quoted it with 'It's great @Bot'.
Why it matters: Turning a long line-up into something you can actually listen to is tedious, clicky work, exactly the kind of chore an agent with a browser can take off your hands before a show.
Good for:
Festival-goers, parents prepping kids for a concert, and anyone who wants to discover a line-up before buying tickets.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers keep it. You'll need to be signed in to YouTube for the Bot to save a playlist. This is one user's experience. Checked October 30, 2026.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
James Douma posted that Amazon locked out his Grok Bot, so the bot bought the same item from a different store, at a lower price. The post passed a million views, and Elon Musk replied "That's what I do too". It lands as Amazon's Conditions of Use now include a section on AI agents, and Amazon has confirmed it blocks some shopping agents. Grok Bot 0.78.1 also just added shopping cards that show the price and store side by side, plus a Buy now button that only starts an order you approve.
Why it matters: Stores are starting to block AI shopping agents. If yours can compare other sites, a block can turn into a better price instead of a dead end.
Good for:
People who use Grok Bot or other AI agents to compare prices and order things online.
Applies to:
Grok Bot shopping features are in version 0.78.1 and later. Respect each store's terms: don't try to sneak an agent past a site that blocks it, just shop somewhere that allows it. Checked October 29, 2026.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
An X user says his Grok Bot ordered him a toothbrush from Walgreens that was meant to come with a travel case. When the case was missing, the bot suggested asking for a partial refund, opened the online chat on Walgreens' website, handled the whole conversation itself and came back with a $20 refund. It's the dull customer-service work most people put off. Grok Bot's Order Concierge template, added in version 0.77.0, is built to track orders, refunds and returns, and it never buys anything without your OK.
Why it matters: Small refunds often go unclaimed because chasing them takes an afternoon. An agent that can work a support chat makes them worth asking for.
Good for:
Anyone who shops online and has refunds, missing items or returns they keep meaning to deal with.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers keep it. Whether a store offers a refund is up to that store. Checked October 29, 2026.

A developer suggests a simple setup for people with both tools: ask Grok Bot to make code changes by running Claude Code in non-interactive mode, the documented claude -p command that takes a prompt, does the work and prints the result. Grok Bot then plans the job, checks what changed and decides what to ask for next, while Claude Code does the edits in your repo. Claude Code runs this way still count toward your Claude plan's limits.
Why it matters: You can stay in one chat while one agent plans and reviews and another one edits the code, without copying prompts back and forth.
Good for:
Developers who pay for both Grok Bot and Claude Code and want them working together.
Plan & availability:
Needs Grok Bot access to a computer with Claude Code installed and signed in. claude -p uses your normal Claude plan or API usage, not unlimited usage. Checked October 29, 2026.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
An X user says his Grok Bot came up with its own business idea, built the product, opened a store on Etsy, and now posts its own content on X, Instagram and Pinterest while writing up its progress. He presents it as a real experiment starting from zero rather than an overnight success story, and invites people to follow along. It's a public test of how far an agent can go running a small online shop, from idea to listings to marketing, with its owner watching.
Why it matters: It shows how much of a small online business an agent can attempt, and where a person still has to check and sign off.
Good for:
Side-project builders, small sellers and anyone curious about agents running a business.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers keep it. Store fees and each platform's seller and automation rules still apply, and you stay responsible for what the store sells and posts. Checked October 29, 2026.

Founder Quincy Lee posted that his company already has around 100 to 150 Grok Bots helping across the business, quoting one employee who said "Grok Bot gets shit done". Elon Musk reposted it, and hours later posted "Hire Grok Bot to be an employee", which passed 900,000 views. Musk also pointed out that Grok Bot has no free tier. Lee didn't list which jobs the bots do, but xAI's free Grok Bot for Work guide shows the pattern: an inbox manager, a calendar assistant, a research scout and one boss bot that the others report into, each read-only by default so nothing goes out until you say so.
Why it matters: It's a concrete picture of agents as headcount, not chat windows: many narrow bots, each with one job, reporting up to a person.
Good for:
Founders, managers and small teams thinking about handing recurring work to agents.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers keep it, and there's no free tier. The Grok Bot for Work guide is free on x.ai. Checked October 30, 2026.

Traffic analytics firm Similarweb posted that Grok Bot's daily active users grew for 16 days in a row as of October 26, 2026, its longest growth streak so far. Its chart, which covers the iPhone and Android apps worldwide, starts at roughly 70,000 daily users on September 6 and ends at about 600,000 on October 26, roughly an 8x jump in seven weeks, with the steepest climb in mid to late October. These are Similarweb's own estimates for the mobile apps, not official figures from xAI, and they don't count desktop use.
Why it matters: Personal agents are moving from early adopters to a mainstream app category, which usually means faster feature releases and more templates and community bots to borrow from.
Good for:
People choosing an AI agent, builders making Grok Bot templates, and anyone tracking the AI agent market.
Applies to:

A widely read X article (over 500,000 views and 1,400 bookmarks) argues that most Grok Bot cost comes from setup, not work. Every reply and routine run re-reads the bot's whole conversation, so a bot that wakes every 15 minutes to find nothing still pays for its full history each time. The author says 75% of their exported tokens went to re-reading. The fix is a structure: one bot per domain with its own memory, rules written into each bot's description, a machine-checkable proof before work counts as done, and one front-door bot that routes requests to the rest.
Why it matters: If you run several bots on schedules, the cost of long chats and empty routine runs adds up every night. A short audit can show where the usage actually goes before you add more bots.
Good for:
Grok Bot users with several bots or frequent routines who hit their limits early or want a smaller bill.
Plan & availability:
Advice for any Grok Bot plan; no extra cost. The 75% figure is the author's own export, not an official number, and your split will depend on your bots and routines. Checked November 1, 2026.

Neuralink's engineers spent 72 hours at the home of a participant in its VOICE speech-implant study and prototyped features with him. One of them triggers a Grok computer-use agent by thought: the participant imagines saying "Hey Neuralink" followed by a task, the decoder turns that into a command, and the agent carries the task out on the computer by itself. The same sprint added automatic detection of when he's trying to speak, live brain-signal visualizations, an iOS keyboard for BCI dictation, a lock-screen shortcut and BCI speech piped straight into iPhone calls.
Why it matters: For people who can't speak or type, handing a whole task to an agent is far faster than steering a cursor letter by letter. It's a clear glimpse of agents as assistive tech, not just productivity tools.
Good for:
People following brain-computer interfaces, accessibility and assistive tech, and anyone tracking where Grok agents are headed.
Plan & availability:
A research prototype only, built with one clinical-trial participant. Neuralink devices are investigational and not approved by the FDA, and there's no product or release date for the Grok integration.
Grok Bot 0.77.0 adds two ready-made Bot templates. Order Concierge tracks your orders, refunds and returns, so a late package or a missing refund doesn't slip through. Deal Watcher keeps an eye on prices and coupons for things you want. Per the changelog, both never buy without your OK. The same release lets Bots try your saved Vault cards first and gives the Vault a Payments tab to set which method is used first, still with your approval on every purchase. Version 0.77.0 also adds Import Memory to Grok Bot in Settings (needs 0.75.2 or later), which brings the preferences and context you built up with another AI assistant into your primary Bot, plus a Permissions section that lists your Auto-review rules.
Why it matters: Watching prices and chasing refunds is tedious work most people skip and lose money on. It's exactly the kind of background job an always-on agent is good at.
Good for:
Online shoppers, anyone waiting on refunds or returns, and people who wait for a price drop before buying.
Plan & availability:
In Grok Bot 0.77.0 (changelog dated October 26, 2026; stable rollout announced on X on October 28, Dubai time). Grok Bot requires a paid plan; templates are free to add. Tracking orders works best with your email connected. Import Memory needs 0.75.2 or later.
X user lauren (@poteto) shared tibot, the Grok Bot she uses to manage her X account, as a template anyone can add. According to her post, it finds every post about you or keywords you choose, whether you're tagged or not, and sends one short, sorted digest a day (or hourly if you prefer). It skips spam and noise, translates non-English posts, can automatically block trolls and abuse, and never posts for you. She says she still writes all her own posts and uses tibot only to stay in the loop. The post passed 4,700 likes and Elon Musk reposted it.
Why it matters: Notifications only catch posts that tag you. For a founder, creator or brand, the untagged conversation is often the important part, and this bot surfaces it without the doomscrolling.
Good for:
Founders, creators, marketers and anyone with a growing X presence who wants to track mentions and keywords.
Plan & availability:
The template link in the post is free to add, but running it needs a paid Grok Bot plan and uses your Bot usage. Shared October 28, 2026 (Dubai time).
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Tech analyst Pierre Ferragu posted that his Grok Bot, named Planchet, has been 'promoted to fully-fledged team member'. He says it has access to all of his team's thinking (research, emails, models, Slack and industry data), calls it incredibly resourceful, ultra-fast and receptive to feedback, and sums it up as 'mind-blowing'. Elon Musk quoted the post with 'Hire Grok Bot, you won't regret it', and Ferragu's post showed more than 19 million views when we checked. Ferragu didn't publish his exact configuration, so the steps below are a general way to set up a similar research teammate with Grok Bot's connectors.
Why it matters: It's a high-profile example of a small research team treating an agent as a colleague rather than a chatbot: one name, shared context, and real access to the team's work.
Good for:
Analysts, investors and small research teams who live in email, Slack and spreadsheets and want one agent that knows the whole context.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot is available on paid plans of The X Subscription; connectors like Gmail and Slack depend on your plan and what you connect. Ferragu's results are his own account.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Grok Bot 0.78.1 adds three subscription templates. "Try it, don't pay for it" signs you up for a free trial and cancels it, or reminds you, before the first charge. "Find unused subscriptions" looks for plans you're paying for but not using and cancels the ones you pick. "Watch subscription prices" keeps an eye on renewal prices. The same release adds shopping cards with photos, ratings, price, store and badges, a Buy now button that starts an order you approve, order tracking cards, and Shop Pay in the Vault Payments tab. The bot confirms with you before it changes anything.
Why it matters: Forgotten free trials and unused subscriptions quietly cost people money every month. Handing the reminder and the cancelling to a bot fixes that.
Good for:
Anyone who signs up for trials and forgets them, or pays for streaming and app subscriptions they barely use.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot users on version 0.78.1 or later. You approve each cancellation and each purchase before the bot acts. Checked October 29, 2026.
xAI added a guidelines parameter to the Grok API. You pass a list of policies, each with a category (adult content, violence or profanity) and the behavior decline, and the model will refuse that kind of content for that request. It works with Chat Completions, the Responses API and the xAI Python SDK; with the OpenAI SDK you send it through extra_body. Because it's set per request, one app can use stricter rules for kids or customer support and looser ones elsewhere. It isn't supported on multi-agent models or deferred completions, and invalid settings return a 400 or 422 error.
Why it matters: Apps for kids, schools or brands need tighter content rules than a general chatbot. Now you can set them in the API call instead of building your own filter.
Good for:
Developers building on the Grok API for customer support, education, kids' apps or brand-safe products.
Plan & availability:
Available to all Grok API customers. Not supported on multi-agent models such as grok-4.20-multi-agent, or with deferred completions. Checked October 29, 2026.
Investor Martin Casado posted that his Grok Bot ordered roughly $500 of Home Assistant kit, microphones, smart lights and plugs, and that he'll report back on whether it can both order and guide the installation of a full smart house. So far, he says, so good. It's a real test of an agent doing a whole project, not just a single purchase: picking parts that work together, buying them, and then walking a person through setup. Grok Bot asks you to approve each purchase, and its Order Concierge template tracks orders, refunds and returns.
Why it matters: Smart-home setups fail on compatibility. Having an agent plan the whole parts list and then coach the install is a practical, checkable use.
Good for:
People setting up Home Assistant or smart lights and plugs who'd like an agent to plan, buy and coach.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers keep it. You approve every purchase. Results depend on the gear you pick. Checked October 29, 2026.

Theo, who makes the T3 Code app for running coding agents, posted that T3 Code can now control your whole fleet of machines through a single MCP server. In a demo video that passed 190,000 views, he asks Grok Bot to spin up 8 threads on different machines at once. A day earlier he showed one T3 Code thread working across several models, coding harnesses, apps, operating systems and networks. With MCP, any agent that supports it can become the dispatcher for coding jobs running on your other computers.
Why it matters: You can hand out coding jobs to several machines from a single chat, instead of opening a terminal on each one.
Good for:
Developers with more than one dev machine, home server or cloud box who run coding agents.
Plan & availability:
Shown by T3 Code's maker on X; check T3 Code's own docs for which version includes the fleet MCP server and how to set it up. Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up; existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers keep it. Checked October 29, 2026.

In an October 27 post, SpaceXSI's sales team described three Shared Bots that every rep uses. Account Intel Bot preps meeting briefings, reads the call transcript afterward, updates Salesforce and drafts the follow-up email for the rep to review. Quote Bot builds several pricing proposals side by side, submits them for approval and generates the order form. Deal Bot checks non-standard terms against approved policy and asks a Deal Desk specialist before approving. The guardrails are the interesting part: bots act with each user's own permissions, a rep can't use Quote Bot to approve their own discount, Salesforce changes are previewed and confirmed first, and anything customer-facing gets human review.
Why it matters: It's a rare, detailed look at agents doing real revenue work inside a company, including the limits that keep them from approving their own deals.
Good for:
Sales and revenue operations leads thinking about giving agents CRM access.
Plan & availability:
This describes SpaceXSI's internal setup, not a new product. Grok Bot is included from The X Subscription Premium tier ($30/month); shared Team Bots are a Grok Business (Teams) feature.
AI engineer Akshay Pachaar shared a 14-bot Grok Bot team that handles his inbox, research, code and design. He only talks to four of them, an "executive staff" named Pam, Tyrion, Gilfoyle and Rachel, who take each request, hand it to the bots on their team and bring the finished work back. His tip for making it feel natural is to name bots after characters you know, because talking to Dwight feels more human than talking to agent-3. The post had about 30,000 views and 400 bookmarks within a day; he says a full video on reproducing the setup is coming.
Why it matters: Once you have more than a few bots, you spend your day choosing which one to ask. A small layer of manager bots means you send one request and get back finished work.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who already run several bots and are losing track of them.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot is included from The X Subscription Premium tier ($30/month); how many bots you can run depends on your plan's usage.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A wave of X users are asking Grok Bot to audit who they follow. Dylan Grabowski had it go through all 1,600 accounts he follows and flag about 140 dead or quiet ones, then build a page listing each account's handle, profile link, last activity, days inactive and follower count, with a click-through list of accounts to unfollow. His prompt keeps people who went quiet but still follow you on a separate review list, since they might be friends or customers. Others report similar runs flagging hundreds of accounts, and several say they unfollow in small daily batches to stay inside X's limits.
Why it matters: Who you follow shapes what you see. Clearing out dead accounts makes room for people you actually learn from, and the bot does an hour of clicking for you.
Good for:
X users following hundreds or thousands of accounts.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot with the X connector, included from The X Subscription Premium tier ($30/month).
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version. Grok Bot's October 23 changelog says X doesn't offer your followers list to the bot, so the "follows me back" check may not work for everyone. X limits bulk unfollowing, so go slowly.
Grok Bot now has a referral program. Share your personal link, and a friend who is new to Grok gets a 2-week free trial of Premium on The X Subscription, including the Grok Bot app. When that friend becomes a paid subscriber, you earn one free usage reset, which restores your included weekly pool. The reward shows as pending first and is added 7 days after their payment, and each reset stays valid for 6 months. If the payment is refunded or disputed, the reward is removed, and rewards have no cash value.
Why it matters: Hitting the weekly usage cap is the most common Grok Bot complaint. A reset is a legitimate, free way to get your pool back without upgrading plans.
Good for:
US-based Grok Bot users on a paid Premium, Super or Ultra plan, and friends who want to try Grok Bot free for two weeks.
Plan & availability:
Live now. Referrer: US-based, on a paid Premium, Super or Ultra plan of The X Subscription, at least 7 days after checkout (legacy Cursor or SuperGrok plans, Plus and Team can't refer yet). Friend: new to Grok, any country except China, eligible email, credit card required; card is charged after the 2-week trial unless canceled (a reminder comes 7 days before). App Store and Google Play purchases don't count. xAI may change or end the program at any time.
Director, a bot by Xi Yan, is now listed in the Grok Bot Marketplace. Its listing describes it as a video director that turns briefs into short films, ads, explainers, music videos and micro-dramas, handling planning, shooting, cutting and delivery. When you import it, it comes with a pack of video skills covering formats, planning, frames, takes, look and a project folder. It builds on Grok Bot's ability to create videos, adding a structured director's workflow on top. The X post sharing it passed 2,800 likes and was reposted by Elon Musk.
Why it matters: Most AI video tools give you one clip. A director bot that plans shots and edits them into a finished piece is much closer to how real short videos get made.
Good for:
Marketers, small businesses, creators and anyone who needs short promo videos, explainers or social clips without a video team.
Plan & availability:
Free to import from the Grok Bot Marketplace (listing at x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/video-director); running it needs a paid Grok Bot plan, and video generation uses your usage. It's a community bot, not made by the Grok Bot team.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A clip shared by @firesidealpha shows investor Gavin Baker saying Grok Bot is the most impactful AI product he and his firm have had yet. Per the post's transcript, he said he had glued things together with Claude Code before, but Grok Bot "just makes it so easy," that he's up to about 17 Grok Bots, and that he thinks of a new one to add every day. The post passed 6 million views after Elon Musk quoted it with "Grok @Bot rocks."
Why it matters: It's a high-profile, non-engineer example of the multi-bot pattern: lots of small, single-job bots instead of one do-everything assistant.
Good for:
Investors, executives and busy professionals wondering how people actually use several personal agents at once.
Applies to:
The clip is free to watch on X. Grok Bot requires a paid plan; how many Bots you can run depends on your usage allowance.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A widely shared X guide by Gipp lays out a seven-bot Grok Bot team that turns ideas spotted on X into launches. Each bot has one job: Chief keeps a live Launch Board and tells you what needs you; Scout is the only bot on a schedule and searches X; Pain Miner collects complaints; Judge scores each idea and says GO or KILL; Builder writes a spec, builds on one pull request and never merges; Pitch makes the deck, video and launch posts; and Buyer can pay only with your approval for each purchase (the guide's example has a $40 cap). An Inbox bot replaces hourly checks with email aliases that trigger narrow routines. The bots hand off work by appending lines to a shared LEDGER.md file instead of emailing each other. The author says this runs about 60 times a week, compared with his estimate of 1,176 for a team of hourly bots.
Why it matters: Most people burn their Grok Bot allowance on bots that wake up every hour to find nothing. One clock plus event triggers keeps usage low, and narrow jobs stop one bot from mixing research, opinions and code.
Good for:
Indie hackers, solo founders and small teams who use Grok Bot and want to test product ideas quickly without losing control of money or posts.
Plan & availability:
Needs Grok Bot on a paid plan of The X Subscription, plus whichever connectors you use (GitHub, email, payments). The usage figures are the author's own estimates.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Santiago, who works on the X API team, posted that last week X removed the need for a developer account and X API credits to use the X connector in Grok Bot. That means you can ask your Bot to sort your bookmarks, go through your DMs or draft an article for you without setting up a developer app or paying for API calls. Before this, using the connector meant creating an X developer account and spending API credits on every read.
Why it matters: The API credits were the main reason people avoided connecting X to their Bot. Without them, chores like turning hundreds of saved bookmarks into a reading list or summarizing your DMs cost nothing extra beyond your Grok Bot plan.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who post, read or network on X: creators, founders, researchers and anyone with a pile of unread bookmarks.
Plan & availability:
Announced on X on October 26, 2026 by Santiago of the X API team, who says the change landed the week before. You still need a plan that includes Grok Bot; 'free' here means no extra X API charge. Rate limits weren't stated.
Announced on X by a member of the X API team. When we checked on October 27, 2026, the change wasn't listed in Grok Bot's public changelog.
Grok Bot added Import Memory, which brings your preferences and context over from another AI assistant so your Bot doesn't start from scratch. In Settings, under General, choose Start Import. Grok Bot gives you a prompt to paste into a chat with your other assistant; you copy that assistant's answer back into the second box and choose Add to Memory. Grok Bot sends the import to your primary Bot and opens that chat, so you can check what it picked up. It shipped in Grok Bot version 0.77.0 on October 26 and needs version 0.75.2 or later.
Why it matters: Months of context, like your job, tone and recurring tasks, is what makes an assistant useful. Moving it over in one paste removes the main reason people stick with an assistant they've outgrown.
Good for:
Anyone moving to Grok Bot from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or another assistant who doesn't want to re-explain themselves.
Plan & availability:
Built into Grok Bot (version 0.75.2 or later) on Grok Bot plans; no extra cost was announced. Shipped October 26, 2026.
Elon Musk says Grok Bot can now call someone or a business for you, make a request on your behalf, take notes on what they say and send you a summary of the call. The post he quoted, about the upcoming Grok Bot 0.77, says the Bot can dial, sit on hold, press keypad options and get transferred while you follow a live transcript. Unlike earlier community bots, this is built in, so no separate calling service is needed.
Why it matters: Hold music and phone trees are where errands go to die. Handing the call to an agent, with a transcript you can watch, makes jobs like rebooking, checking stock or chasing a refund something you can delegate.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who put off phone calls: rebookings, appointment changes, store and supplier questions.
Plan & availability:
Announced by Elon Musk on X on October 25, 2026, alongside the Grok Bot 0.77 build. Needs a plan that includes Grok Bot. Rollout timing and any per-call limits weren't stated.
Announced by Elon Musk on X. When we checked on October 26, 2026, Calls wasn't yet in Grok Bot's public changelog, and rollout may vary by account.
Elon Musk's advice for Grok Bot is to treat it as if you were hiring a very capable employee. The post he quoted comes from a user who runs more than a dozen Bots for websites, calendars and family logistics. He says one 20-minute voice call, where his assistant Bot asked him how he likes things done, was enough for it to get tasks right from then on. The idea is to brief it the way you would onboard a person, instead of firing off one-line commands.
Why it matters: Most disappointing agent results come from thin instructions. A proper onboarding covering goals, preferences, limits and when to ask works with any agent, and it costs you one conversation.
Good for:
New Grok Bot users, and anyone whose agent keeps getting the details wrong.
Plan & availability:
Works with any plan that includes Grok Bot. The voice-call briefing is a user's tip, not an official feature guide.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
X user duck says set up a Grok Bot with the title Chief Marketing Officer and says it helped him reach 1.5 million impressions in a week, with two viral posts back to back, and pass 2,000 verified followers, which unlocked X subscriptions. The Bot doesn't post for him; he presses every button. Each week it drafts posts in his voice, studies other creators in his niche, keeps a content calendar of notable dates, logs every post in Notion and scores it against his median, warns him when a post is still hot so he doesn't bury it, and sends a weekly report on what worked and what flopped.
Why it matters: It's a clear template for an AI marketing assistant that stays useful without taking over your account: the Bot does research, drafting and tracking, and a human makes every posting decision.
Good for:
Creators, solo founders and small brands growing an X audience who don't have time for daily analytics and drafting.
Plan & availability:
Uses Grok Bot with the X connector (which no longer needs X API credits) and Notion. Needs a plan that includes Grok Bot. Results are his own report from one week and will vary.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
In a clip shared on X, Phil Rosen told Stuart Varney on Fox Business that after a year on Claude, plus ChatGPT and some Muse, he has essentially dropped his other AI tools since starting Grok Bot this month. His setup is a 'chief of staff' Bot that manages his other Bots, which he uses for content creation, fact-checking, editing, research and his calendar.
Why it matters: The 'one Bot that runs the other Bots' pattern is moving from power users to TV. It's a simple way to keep many agents organised without checking each one yourself.
Good for:
People juggling several AI tools or Bots who want a single place to send requests.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot is included with eligible X Premium and SuperGrok plans. This is one person's experience, not a benchmark.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Grok Bot 0.75.8 lets a Bot offer to add, change or remove one of your Auto-review rules on a card you confirm, so if you keep approving the same safe action you can turn it into a rule in one tap. Auto-review also takes a second look before showing an approval card, so fewer safe actions need one. Other changes in the same release: when background work finishes the Bot completes the steps you asked for and then says what it would do next instead of acting on its own, and new connector tools such as X's work without reconnecting. The 0.75.5 release raised routines to 300 runs an hour in total.
Why it matters: Approval cards are a safety net, but too many of them train you to tap yes without reading. Rules for routine actions keep your attention for the ones that matter.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who run routines or several bots and get a lot of approval cards.
Plan & availability:
Rule cards need Grok Bot 0.75.2 or later. Grok Bot is included from The X Subscription Premium tier ($30/month).
Developer Evan Bacon says he gave his Grok Bot a $1,000 budget and it spent $217.15 ordering 3D-printed parts for its own robot body, mailed to his place. He says it then made a Lego-style assembly booklet, called him by voice to walk through the assembly and electronics, and was uploading its software while plugged into his computer. It's a vivid look at what one agent with a browser, a budget and a voice line can coordinate in the physical world.
Why it matters: It shows agents moving from screen tasks to sourcing parts, writing build instructions and coaching a human through hardware.
Good for:
Makers, hobbyists and anyone curious how far a 24/7 agent can take a real-world project.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot is available on eligible Grok Bot plans. Purchases use a payment method you approve, so set a hard budget.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Grok Bot can now save your logins, payment cards and contact information once, then reuse them when a task needs them, like signing in to a site or checking out. That removes the most common stall in agent work: stopping to ask you for a password or card number in the middle of a job. It sits alongside the 1Password integration announced a day earlier.
Why it matters: Errands like reordering supplies or pulling a monthly invoice can run end to end without you typing details each time.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who hand it shopping, bookings or tasks behind a sign-in.
Plan & availability:
Announced by Grok Bot on October 23, 2026. Included with Grok Bot plans; rollout timing per account wasn't stated.
Grok Bot 0.75.5 links X Money through the same account when you connect X, and asking a Bot about your X Money balance, activity or card installs the X Money plugin. That means your Bot can look up your balance and recent activity when you ask. The same release lets your routines run up to 300 times an hour in total (up from 100) and lets Bots forward emails with the original formatting and attachments.
Why it matters: An agent that can see your money is useful for budgeting and spotting odd charges, but it's also a connection worth knowing about. Some people noticed it only after it appeared in their plugin list.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who also use X Money and want to check what their Bots can see.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot 0.75.5, released Oct 23, 2026. X Money is only offered where X supports it, currently US states. Grok Bot needs an eligible X or Grok plan.
A widely shared post lists what one person got Grok Bot to do in a week just by texting it: new math and reading worksheets printed for the kids by morning, family trips planned and booked, an order placed from one message, a return label printed with a reminder before the deadline, and a page that breaks down their net worth. They also point to other users booking flights end to end and building Etsy stores.
Why it matters: These are boring household chores, which is exactly the point. The value of a personal agent shows up in errands you'd never write code for.
Good for:
Parents and busy people who want to hand off small errands to an agent.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot is included with eligible X Premium and SuperGrok plans. Printing needs a printer the Bot can reach, and bookings or orders should wait for your approval.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
duck says runs a Grok Bot as a 'household manager'. He says it went through a year of the family's Walmart orders, 78 orders worth $4,693, and built a Notion catalog of everything they buy and how often. Every Sunday morning the next cart is already built; he looks it over and checks out himself. The Bot also knows every appliance in the house, tracks warranties and reminds him when to swap the air filters. He admits it isn't perfect: in the first week it forgot soap and shampoo.
Why it matters: Weekly groceries are a repeat chore most families redo from memory. An agent that learns your real buying pattern from order history and preps the cart, while you still check out, saves time without handing over your card.
Good for:
Busy households and anyone who reorders the same groceries and supplies every week.
Plan & availability:
He says his household manager uses computer use, so it works through the store's website. Needs a plan that includes Grok Bot; Notion is optional. Results are his own report.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Grok Bot can now work with apps on your phone, including Calendar, Reminders and Contacts, rolling out on iOS and Android. Screens shared from the update show a permission page where you allow each area on its own, such as Messages, Location, Calendar, Home, Reminders and Contacts. That means a Bot running on its cloud computer can add a reminder, check your real calendar or find a contact without you copying anything across.
Why it matters: Your phone holds the schedule and people a personal assistant actually needs. Now a Bot can act on them, one permission at a time.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who want reminders, scheduling and contact lookups handled from chat.
Plan & availability:
Rolling out now in the Grok Bot app on iOS and Android, on eligible Grok Bot plans. Docs: docs.x.ai/grok-bot/mobile.
1Password launched 1Password for Agents. When Grok Bot or Muse hits a login page, it asks for one specific login from your vault; you approve it on your device and 1Password fills in the password or one-time code directly, so the agent never sees it. Access is per approved login, not your whole vault, and you can disconnect the agent anytime. 1Password says Claude Duet, ChatGPT Work and dots, and Town are coming soon.
Why it matters: Agents stall at every login, and pasting a password into a chat is a bad habit. This removes both problems while you stay in charge of each sign-in.
Good for:
Grok Bot and Muse users with 1Password who want their agents to finish tasks behind a login.
Plan & availability:
Included at no extra cost for 1Password Individual and Family accounts on 1Password.com (not .eu or .ca). Grok Bot and Muse integrations are rolling out over the coming days on all platforms.
A viral post walks through using Claude Code on Opus 5.5 to build a tiny controller for your own smart TV, using the same local network remote API the phone remote apps use. The controller has only three actions (open Netflix, move, select) and is plugged into Grok Bot, so saying "open Netflix" makes the TV do it. The author says it works on most recent Samsung, LG and Google TV sets after you press Allow on the TV once.
Why it matters: It's a neat pattern: have a coding agent build a narrow, three-button tool, then let your assistant use only that. Small tools are easier to trust.
Good for:
Tinkerers with a recent smart TV, Claude Code and Grok Bot.
Plan & availability:
Needs Claude Code (paid Claude plan) and Grok Bot on an eligible plan. Only use it on a TV you own, on your home network.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
SpaceXSI opened Grok for Startups, a credit program that gives one shared balance you can spend on Grok, Grok Build, Grok Bot and the Grok API. Credits are sized to your stage and current usage, with the stated aim of covering six to twelve months of real use. You get 20% when you're approved, and the other 80% is released automatically once you're up and running.
Why it matters: A funded early team could run its coding agents, back-office bots and in-app AI on credits instead of cash for months.
Good for:
Venture-backed startups with a live product, applying with a company email tied to a Grok team.
Plan & availability:
Open now, no deadline published. The amount isn't fixed: SpaceXSI sizes it to your goals and stage. Read the program terms (x.ai/legal/startup-program-terms) for expiry and eligibility details before you apply.
Grok Bot 0.75.2 added video creation: a Bot can make a video from a written description, or from an image you share in the chat. Work a Bot hands off to a background task can also create images and videos for the chat. Videos open full screen with playback and download controls, and on desktop you can right-click a video and choose Save video. The same release added Pages, the reports and dashboards a Bot keeps up to date.
Why it matters: You can ask the same assistant that runs your errands for a quick product clip or an animated photo, without opening a separate video tool.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who make social clips, product teasers or fun animations of their own photos.
Plan & availability:
In Grok Bot 0.75.2 and later (released October 22, 2026). The changelog doesn't list a separate price, so video creation runs under your existing Grok Bot plan and its usage limits.
Grok Bot can now turn a request into a page: a report, memo, dashboard, tracker or explainer with text, tables, charts and controls like filters. You ask for it in chat, it posts the page as a card you can open, and you change it by asking the Bot, so everyone with access sees the same updated version. You can also have the Bot keep the page current. Pages live in the Bot's Library, start private, and can be shared with invited people, your team, or anyone with the link.
Why it matters: Plenty of work is a document someone rebuilds every week. A page the Bot keeps current means you share a link instead of copying chat replies around.
Good for:
Founders, managers and anyone who sends the same status report, tracker or brief every week.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot, rolling out gradually; not on Enterprise teams yet. Needs Grok Bot 0.60.0 or later on desktop and 1.14.0 or later on mobile.
On the day the PHP2Shell flaws went public, a founder shared his setup for keeping up with security news without a security team. He had Claude Code list every platform, package, version and third-party dependency his company uses, then gave that list to Grok Bot as a reference file. Grok Bot checks X, industry sites and trusted security researchers four times a day for anything that could affect those items and pings him when something needs attention. Next on his list: updating the file whenever the stack changes, and opening GitHub issues automatically for things that need a fix.
Why it matters: Small teams usually hear about a critical bug days late. A list of what you actually run, plus a scheduled check against the news, closes that gap cheaply.
Good for:
Founders and small dev teams without a dedicated security person.
Plan & availability:
Needs Claude Code (a Claude Pro plan or higher) and Grok Bot. This is one user's setup; we haven't tested it.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A tip going around Grok Bot users: if your prompt doesn't name the coding tool you installed on your Bot's computer, the Bot often does the coding itself. The post credits a demo where a simple button change never touched the installed CLI. The fix is to open with the tool's name, like "Use Claude Code to...", "Use Codex to..." or "Use Grok Build to...", and check that the Bot says the tool is building it.
Why it matters: If you set up a coding CLI on purpose, you want it used. The post says the Bot doing the work itself uses your weekly Bot usage instead.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who installed Claude Code, Codex or another coding CLI on their Bot.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot on an eligible plan, plus whichever coding tool you installed and its own plan.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
The official Grok Bot account says the team uses Grok Bot to spot incidents in its own support queue and reply to every ticket tied to one. During one incident it cleared 204 tickets in about 10 minutes, and a single engineer approved the batch before it went out. The pattern is simple to copy: the Bot groups tickets by cause, drafts one consistent answer, and a human signs off once instead of 204 times.
Why it matters: Outages bury support teams in near-identical tickets. An agent that drafts the whole batch while a person approves it turns hours of copy-paste into minutes.
Good for:
Support leads and small teams who get ticket floods when something breaks.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot is included in The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up. Your help desk needs to be connected; keep a human approval step.
A founder on X set up a Grok Bot 'chief of staff' that hands jobs to six specialist Bots running in parallel on Grok's cloud computer. The brief: find B2B SaaS companies of 10 to 200 people in the US and EU, using public data only, cite a source for every claim, and contact nobody without approval. He says that by morning it had scanned 240 companies, kept 25, drafted an opener for each and parked everything in his approval queue, with zero messages sent. The dollar figure in his post is a target, not revenue, as he says himself. It reruns every Monday and skips companies already on the list.
Why it matters: It's a clear template for letting agents do the slow research part of sales while a human keeps the send button.
Good for:
Founders and solo sellers who spend hours researching leads before writing a single email.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot on The X Subscription Premium tier or higher (or an older plan that includes it). We haven't tested his setup.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A user on X says Grok Bot, working with another agent tool, built him two dashboards overnight. One is a markets screen wired only to free public sources such as SEC filings, FRED macro data, exchange price feeds and RSS news; a panel without a working free source simply isn't built. The other is a 'my day' screen with yesterday's revenue against the 7-day average, stuck deals, the emails that need him with replies drafted, and last night's builds. Both rebuild at 6am on weekdays, start with read-only access, and every email or task waits for his approval. This is a research and planning screen, not a trading system, and it is not investment advice.
Why it matters: You don't need an expensive pro terminal to see the public data that matters to you on one screen each morning.
Good for:
Founders and people who follow markets as research and want one morning briefing instead of twenty tabs.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot on The X Subscription Premium tier or higher. Uses free public feeds; check each source's terms. Paper trading only if you add any trading view, and not investment advice. We haven't tested his build.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A user on X took a pattern he credits to Claude Code creator Boris Cherny, where one agent owns the whole problem and fans the digging out to about ten sub-agents, and ran it in Grok Bot overnight on the question of which SaaS niche to build next. He says the lead Bot wrote 10 hypotheses, sub-Bots researched them across Reddit threads, reviews, job posts and pricing pages, and a checker Bot cut seven, leaving three ideas with evidence attached and no code written. His short prompt asks for 10 hypotheses, one sub-agent each, every claim checked against real data, the top 3 with sources, and nothing built.
Why it matters: The 'build nothing' rule and the checker step keep the agents researching instead of rushing to code, so you pick from evidence, not vibes.
Good for:
Indie hackers and founders choosing what to build next, or anyone researching a market question.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot on any plan that includes it. Research runs can use a lot of your usage; we haven't tested his exact setup.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Grok Bot now works with the iPhone Action Button. Set it up once, and one press opens a voice chat with your Bot, so you don't have to unlock the phone and find the app. Each Bot runs on its own cloud computer, so a quick spoken request can turn into a task that keeps going after you lock the phone.
Why it matters: You can brief your agent in five seconds while walking, driving or cooking, instead of waiting until you're back at a keyboard.
Good for:
Grok Bot users with an iPhone 15 Pro or newer who like giving tasks by voice.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot iOS app, updated to the latest version, on iPhones with an Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro and later). You need a plan that includes Grok Bot. xAI announced it on October 19, 2026 and hasn't said whether Android gets something similar.
In a post seen by close to half a million people, Brian Roemmele says he asked Grok Bot about a problem encoding video and audio for AI, and it brainstormed him into a whole new venture that it now runs. He says the Bot has set up seven roles it fills itself, answers every customer by email, and has brought in $700 without much effort. Others on X are trying the same thing with free side-business templates.
Why it matters: It's one of the clearest public examples of people handing an agent the day-to-day running of a small business, not just a single task.
Good for:
Builders and side-hustlers curious how far an always-on agent can go with a small online business.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up (since Oct 12). Existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch in billing settings. Results are his own report and will vary.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Brian Roemmele shared a Grok Bot whose only job is to call a restaurant and make a reservation. Elon Musk reposted it, saying Grok Bot can call restaurants and book you a table. Roemmele says you give it the place, party size and time. It finds the number, asks how flexible you are and what name to book under, reads everything back and waits for your OK before it dials. Afterwards it tells you what the restaurant said and offers to add the booking to your calendar. He says he gave the Bot its own phone number through a third-party calling service (he used the free tier) and added guardrails: it never shares card details, makes one call at a time and never calls on its own.
Why it matters: It's a real-world errand most people put off, done by an agent. Change a few words and the same template could book haircuts, tee times or car services.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who hate making booking calls.
Plan & availability:
Shared as a free Grok Bot template. Calls need a separate calling service connected to your Bot, which may cost money after its free tier. Grok Bot needs a plan that includes it.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A trader on X shared 10 free Grok Bot skills that work as a pre-trade checklist, each with one job. They check that the possible reward is at least twice the risk, size each position to 1% risk, trade only with the 4-hour trend, skip trades near big news, keep stops away from liquidation clusters, log every trade and turn each loss into a new rule. If any one skill says no, the trade is blocked. The post claims big gains. We don't repeat or rely on them, and past results don't predict future ones. What's interesting is the design: the AI acts as a sceptic that blocks bad ideas, and the person still gives the final yes. This is not investment advice. Use paper trading only.
Why it matters: Most AI trading demos try to find trades. This one uses the agent to stop impulsive ones, which is a safer way to experiment.
Good for:
People practising trading discipline on a paper account who want an automatic rules check.
Plan & availability:
The skills are free on GitHub under an MIT licence. Grok Bot needs a plan that includes it. Use a paper-trading account only; we haven't tested the skills.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A trader says he spent an hour one-on-one with one of his Grok Bots, set up as a trading-desk assistant. He says it picked up his style, made recommendations, and logged into his Alpaca paper-trading account. He plans to have it read a favourite analyst's posts before his daily 6 AM pre-market brief. Paper trading only in the original post. This is a look at what people are building, not investment advice: automated trading can lose money fast.
Why it matters: It shows the 'teammate' side of Grok Bot: it remembers how you work and does the morning reading for you.
Good for:
People who already follow markets and want a research assistant. Not a replacement for your own judgement.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up (since Oct 12). Existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch in billing settings. Alpaca offers free paper-trading accounts.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
The official Grok Bot account says computer tasks, the ones where a Bot drives its own cloud browser and desktop, now finish about 3x sooner on average, and replies to everything else arrive in less than half the time. The same update gave the app a refreshed look with a new typeface and themes. Elon Musk reshared it to his followers with a simple "Grok Bot got much faster".
Why it matters: Speed was the main complaint about agents that click through websites. If a task that used to take ten minutes now takes three, a lot more errands become worth handing off.
Good for:
Grok Bot users who gave up on browser tasks because they were too slow, and anyone comparing always-on agents.
Plan & availability:
Rolled out to all Grok Bot users. New buyers get Grok Bot with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up. No settings to change.
Builder shawnbuilds shared a monthly prompt that has Grok Bot check his Gmail invoices, pick subscriptions it thinks it could compete with, build a small team of Bots to copy the one or two core features, and have a separate evaluation Bot blind-test the results. He says it flagged a $399-a-month AI SEO tool, and after a lot of feedback his Bot setup reached what he estimates is about 80% of the quality for roughly $45 a month.
Why it matters: Most people pay for tools where they use only one or two features. Pointing an agent at your invoices is a concrete way to find the ones you could replace yourself.
Good for:
Founders and freelancers with a pile of SaaS subscriptions and a Grok Bot plan.
Plan & availability:
Works with any Grok Bot plan that can connect to Gmail. Results depend heavily on the tool you're replacing and how much feedback you give. His numbers are his own estimates.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
One builder says he runs a memecoin trading desk on Grok Bot all day, every day, on paper only. He says it scouts new coins, checks influencer mentions, and on October 13 logged 2,569 skips with a reason for each, with only 188 coins clearing the first screen. The Bot never buys without his "GO". He shared a free template. Paper trading only in the original post. This is a look at what people are building, not investment advice: automated trading can lose money fast.
Why it matters: The interesting part isn't profit (he says there's none to show off). It's that a Bot can do the screening and keep a reasoned log while a human keeps the final click.
Good for:
Curious Grok Bot users who want to see an always-on research agent at work. Not for anyone looking for a money machine.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up (since Oct 12). Existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch in billing settings. Paper trading only.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
A builder says he runs a team of nine Grok Bots, each with one job, from university deadlines to internship applications. He's building a menu-bar app to show what they're doing, plus a paper-trading lab where a second Bot's only job is to try to break the first one's results. He's building it all in public.
Why it matters: A dedicated 'red team' Bot that attacks your other Bot's results is a smart pattern for any agent setup, trading or not.
Good for:
Students and solo builders who want to run several agents without losing track.
Plan & availability:
Grok Bot comes with The X Subscription from the $30/month Premium tier up (since Oct 12). Existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch in billing settings. The trading lab uses no real money.
Note: reported by users on X; we haven't independently confirmed it works in the current version.
Arash got fed up with spam calls, so he had his Grok Bot find where his phone number was listed on people-search and data-broker sites and file the removal requests. He then published it as a free template called Spam-Call Scrubber. Its listing says it submits the opt-outs, finishes the email confirmations and re-checks the sites on a schedule you pick. The post passed 4.6 million views and 15,000 bookmarks in three days.
Why it matters: Data-broker opt-outs are tedious, multi-step chores that most people never finish, and this is exactly the kind of boring, repeatable job an always-on agent can grind through.
Good for:
Anyone drowning in spam calls or texts who already has Grok Bot.
Plan & availability:
Free community template in the Grok Bot marketplace (made by a user, not by xAI). Needs a Grok Bot plan. How much gets removed depends on each site and on the privacy laws where you live.
Note: this is a community-made template, not built by xAI. Users on X report mixed results depending on where they live, and we haven't independently confirmed how well it works.
xAI merged Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium into one subscription with five tiers. The $30-a-month Premium tier includes the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+, which xAI says used to cost $90 a month combined, and it is the cheapest tier with Grok Bot. Paid tiers share one weekly usage pool across the Grok apps and Cursor, with at least twice the coding usage on Grok models of the comparable Cursor plan. Third-party models in Cursor are billed separately at API prices. We checked x.ai/pricing on October 21.
Why it matters: If you pay separately for Grok and Cursor today, one plan may now cover both plus Grok Bot for less. Check the fine print on third-party models first.
Good for:
People who use Grok, Grok Bot or Cursor, or pay for X Premium, and want one bill instead of three.
Plan & availability:
Free ($0, limited), Plus ($8/month, no Grok Bot), Premium ($30/month, adds Grok Bot, cloud agents and AI code reviews), Super ($100/month) and Ultra ($200/month). Prices exclude tax. Teams get the same per-seat prices. Existing SuperGrok, Cursor and X Premium subscribers can keep their plan or switch from billing settings for a prorated refund; xAI says switching comes with limited-time offers shown there. Buy only from x.ai: xAI says it has no authorised resellers.
xAI expanded Grok Bot, its always-on AI teammates that get their own cloud computer and sign into your apps, to every SuperGrok plan and to Cursor Pro, Pro+, Ultra and all Cursor Teams plans. xAI says Grok Bot comes with its own usage, so work you hand to a Bot doesn't eat into your Grok or Cursor limits. Update: since October 12, 2026, new customers get Grok Bot through The X Subscription instead, from the $30/month Premium tier, which bundles SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+ benefits (x.ai/news/x-subscription).
Why it matters: If you already pay for one of these older plans, you may have a 24/7 agent you haven't tried yet. xAI says nothing changes for existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers.
Good for:
Existing SuperGrok and Cursor Pro or Teams subscribers, and anyone comparing plans for Grok Bot.
Plan & availability:
Existing SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus and Heavy, Cursor Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, and Cursor Teams subscribers keep Grok Bot and can stay on their plan or switch in billing settings. New buyers: The X Subscription, Premium ($30/month) or higher.
The latest we have covered: Grok Bot on Mac can now read your texts, draft your emails and fill your calendar, with your OK app by app (Nov 12); Grok Bot 1.0 turns your AI into a coworker: it sits in Slack and Teams, joins your calls and offers to pick up work before anyone asks (Nov 11); Tell Grok Bot "grab me ice cream and chips for movie night" and Gopuff delivers it: checkout now happens inside the chat (Nov 11). Every item on this page links its original source.
Since October 12, 2026, new customers get Grok Bot through The X Subscription, from the $30/month Premium tier up, which bundles SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and X Premium+ benefits. xAI says existing SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers can keep their current plan or switch in billing settings.
The trading posts here are paper trading (no real money), and we show them as examples of what people are building, not as investment advice. Automated trading can lose money quickly; keep a human in charge of every real decision.
