What is Grok Bot?

What it is

Grok Bot is an agent platform from xAI. Each bot is an AI teammate with a role. Per the public FAQ, bots can use a persistent cloud computer, connected tools, websites and files; continue in the background; keep role-specific context; and coordinate with other bots. Desktop apps run on macOS, Windows and Linux, with companion mobile apps.

How it works

1. Describe the job and any standing boundaries in the bot’s description.
2. The bot works on its own screen of a shared cloud computer, using connectors when available and browser-based tools otherwise.
3. Logins, CAPTCHAs and two-factor codes are handed to you; sensitive or consequential actions can stop for approval under Auto-review and “Ask first” rules.
4. Routines run a task on a schedule or after an event.
5. Plugins add tools; Railway’s Grok Bot plugin connects through Railway’s hosted MCP server with OAuth.

Benefits

• Handles recurring work across several web tools without a custom integration for each.
• Background operation and routines suit daily reports and monitoring.
• Approvals keep a human on consequential steps.

Limits and risks

• Sites can block automation or require a fresh login.
• Bots share one computer per user, so separate bots aren’t a security boundary.
• Plans, prices and limits change; check x.ai/bot.
