SpaceXAI launches Grok Bot, an always-on AI agent

Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI (yes, that’s the company name now) has introduced Grok Bot, a team of always-on AI agents that can accomplish tasks in the background while you work on other stuff.

There’s some number confusion here: the feature is called “Grok Bot,” but the introductory post keeps referring to it in the plural. In practice, it should resemble a “highly capable teammate” to which you can give tasks simply by chatting with it.

And yes, you can run several bots in parallel and even have one manage a team of bots, which can independently message each other as they work to accomplish a task. Bots can also be placed in a group chat where they can work and communicate together as a team of actual humans would. “They pass work, assign ownership, and only pull you in for judgment calls,” says SpaceXAI.

SpaceXAI provides a couple of examples of how its own teams are using Grok Bot. In one example, a Bot sends invites and follow-ups to collect NDA signatures for beta access to a feature; in another, a bot finds open invoices across portals and email, sends follow-ups in the same voice, logs replies, and only escalates the ones that are stuck or disputed.

Grok Bot is in beta and is now available to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers on desktop and iOS. As for Enterprise users, there’s a waitlist they can join to get access in the future.

SpaceXAI’s Grok Bot follows in the footsteps of other companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which offer similar, persistent AI agents that can do work in the background and as a team.
