Grok✓ ReviewedTest carefullyChecked 3 September 2026Grok Bot keeps working after you close the laptop. Every Bot you own shares one computer.
xAI's Grok Bot runs on its own cloud machine with a browser, files and a terminal, so it can carry on with a job while you are away. Create a second Bot and it works on that same machine, which means a login one Bot makes is a login the other one finds.
Bit’s takeaway
What changed
xAI launched Grok Bot in beta on 11 August 2026. Each Bot gets a persistent cloud computer with a browser, file system and terminal, signs in to your existing tools, and keeps going when your own computer is off. Eligibility has widened since launch: xAI's Grok Bot FAQ, current as of 2 September 2026, lists SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Pro+, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Standard and Premium as eligible. A separate xAI announcement from 26 August 2026 described an even broader rollout including base SuperGrok and Cursor Pro, so check your own plan on x.ai or cursor.com rather than relying on any one list. Free Grok remains excluded, enterprise buyers join a waitlist, and downloads and billing run through Cursor. Some consequential actions can be held for approval, and xAI offers an Auto Review setting for others.
Why it matters
The persistence is the appeal and the shared machine is the catch. Calling one Bot Reporting and another Marketing does not give them separate accounts: they meet the same signed-in sessions, the same downloaded files and the same command-line credentials. Deleting a Bot leaves all of that sitting there, so signing out and clearing up is your job, not its.
Who should care
- Operations and marketing teams with repetitive work across signed-in tools
- IT and security teams asked to approve an agent that holds live logins
What to do
Give it one job you can check in ten minutes and undo if it goes wrong, on a separate account that can reach only the apps that job needs. Say in advance what it should do when a number is missing, so it flags the gap instead of reusing last week's figure. When the trial ends, sign the machine out of every service and delete the files yourself.
The human take
Tools change fast. Your judgment matters more.
A person decides which single job is safe to hand over, which actions must stop for approval, and does the sign-out and cleanup the Bot will not do.

Eligibility has widened since launch: xAI's Grok Bot FAQ, current as of 2 September 2026, lists SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Pro+, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Standard and Premium as eligible, with free Grok still excluded and enterprise buyers on a waitlist; a separate xAI announcement from 26 August 2026 described an even wider rollout to base SuperGrok and Cursor Pro, so check your own plan on x.ai or cursor.com rather than relying on one list.Checked
- xAI documents that all Bots belonging to one user share the same cloud computer, so signed-in browser sessions, downloaded files and command-line credentials created by one Bot are reachable by the others, and deleting a Bot does not clear that shared state.Checked
