SpaceXAI wants Grok to be your ‘colleague’

Grok is now an AI ‘teammate’ you can assign work

The Grok Bot AI agents can work independently using their own cloud-based computer.

The Grok Bot AI agents can work independently using their own cloud-based computer.

SpaceXAI has introduced Grok Bot , an always-on AI agent service designed to behave like independent “AI teammates” that can do your work for you. The bots share their own cloud-based computer environment, and can sign into apps, tools, and websites you already use to complete multi-step workplace tasks, only coming back when their assigned work is completed or if something requires approval.

Grok Bot (or Bots, as SpaceXAI inconsistently pluralizes it) is the latest push from Elon Musk’s AI company to keep up with business services launched by rival AI providers, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT Work , Anthropic’s Claude Cowork , and Microsoft’s Copilot Tasks . SpaceXAI says Grok Bot builds on an internal prototype that was already being used to handle sales outreach, marketing, office operations, bug fixes, and more within the company.

You can message the bots “like a colleague” from your phone or desktop to designate work without having to build workflows and routines for it first. Multiple bots can be run in parallel, with one bot assigned to manage the others working on their own specialized tasks. The bots can “independently message each other” to share context when projects overlap, according to SpaceXAI, and can also be placed in a group chat environment to coordinate work and assign ownership on their own.

Grok’s bots can learn and save your existing workflows and retain context about how you perform tasks to preserve your personal voice. SpaceXAI says they can also follow up on dropped conversations and handover threads, pick work back up from old chats, and become more proactive over time — “picking up work before you need to ask and knowing when something needs your attention.”

Grok Bot is available in beta starting today. It’s available on desktop and iOS for SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers. SpaceXAI says teams and enterprise users can join a waitlist for future access.
