Inside this guide

Short cards you can read in order or jump straight to. Tap the link icon on any card to share just that part.

01

Meet Grok Bot

Grok Bot is xAI’s app for AI teammates. It opened in beta on August 11, 2026, and keeps gaining features. Every bot has a name, a job, and a memory, and does real work on a cloud computer.

Grok talks with you. Grok Bot works for you.

02

Set up teammates and a workspace

1 · Named bots, each with a job

Give every bot a name and a focused job description, such as Researcher or Operator.

2 · Memory

Bots keep what they learn and grow better at their role over time.

3 · A cloud computer of its own

Every bot works on a cloud computer with a browser, files, and a terminal.

4 · Keeps working while you are away

Tasks keep going even when your laptop is closed.

5 · Apps for desktop and mobile

Run it on macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad, and Android.

03

Connect tools and access

6 · Plugins and connectors

Link apps such as Notion, GitHub, and Salesforce so bots can work inside them.

7 · Screen use

Where no connector exists, a bot can use a website the way a person would.

8 · Credentials for API access

Team Bots can get secure access to third-party APIs that lack a plugin.

9 · Reconnect cards

When a service such as X or Vercel asks you to sign in again, the bot shows a reconnect card rather than failing silently.

10 · Gmail send-as addresses

Email drafts can go out from a verified Gmail send-as address, with a From picker if you have several.

04

Automate repeatable work

11 · Skills learned by showing

Run a browser workflow once while the bot watches, and it can save that workflow as a skill.

12 · Routines

Turn any skill into a routine that runs on a schedule, such as every Monday at 9:00.

13 · Group chats

Several bots can share context in a single chat and pass work to each other.

14 · Slide decks

Added on October 7, 2026: bots can now build slide decks.

05

Keep safety and control

15 · Approvals

Bots send drafts and voice memos for your approval and ask before any consequential action.

16 · Auto-review

A separate check runs on risky actions, such as shell commands, plugin calls, and computer use. Add your own rules in Settings.

17 · Secure Forms

Sensitive details, including card fields at checkout, go into a Secure Form that fills the page, never typed into chat.

06

Scale to teams and new reach

18 · Team Bots

In public beta since September 28, 2026, on Teams and Enterprise plans: shared bots with shared skills, files, and memory, while every person’s chats stay private.

19 · Bots in Slack

Every Team Bot gets its own Slack handle and can join channels by invite. Pre-built Team Bots cover sales, product, marketing, and data.

20 · More languages

Settings now also include Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Swahili, and Hausa.

07

Check who can use it

Grok Bot is open to Premium, Super, and Ultra subscribers on The X Subscription, existing SuperGrok subscribers, Cursor paid plans, and teams, with a usage allowance that resets every week. Check xAI’s site for the latest plans and limits.

08

Use the features well

  • Start with one bot doing one job
  • Connect only the tools each task needs
  • Make a task a skill only after it works by hand
  • Watch the first few runs of every routine
  • Leave approvals on for sending, spending, deleting, and publishing
  • Add a bot only when a real job calls for one
09

Keep your accounts safe

  • Every bot on your account shares one cloud computer, so separate bots are not separate security boundaries
  • Type passwords and two-factor codes yourself, never into chat
  • Remove any plugins and routines you no longer use
  • Keep sensitive files out of the shared workspace entirely
10

Try these prompts

  • “Watch me do this once, then save it as a skill for later.”
  • “Every Friday at 4:00, draft the weekly update and send it to me to approve.”
  • “Turn this research into a deck of ten slides.”
  • “Before you start, tell me what access you need.”
  • “Before you take any action, show me every action you plan.”

Keep the golden rule

Do not try all 20 features at once. Choose the three that save you the most time, and leave approvals on.

  • Bots
  • Memory
  • Connectors
  • Skills
  • Routines
  • Approvals
  • Team Bots

This week, build one bot, teach it one skill, and turn that skill into one routine.
