Meet Grok Bot, AI teammates and AI coworkers you can hand real work to. Grok Bots sign in, work across your tools and websites, and keep going even after you close your laptop. Message an AI agent from iPhone or desktop like a coworker, and it takes projects from start to finish instead of leaving you with another chat draft. GROK BOT WORKS WHERE YOU WORK Log Grok Bot in once. It uses your apps and websites just like you would, including tools that are harder to navigate: vendor portals, ad managers, CRMs, inboxes, and older ops tools. Your AI agent finishes work in the same places you already work, so automation is not a separate system you babysit. Hand off sales outbound, inbox triage, recruiting, expenses, or account follow-ups, and the work lands where a human coworker would put it. MESSAGE BOTS LIKE TEAMMATES Give tasks to Grok Bots like you would an AI coworker, on desktop or iOS. They keep context on how you work, remember preferences across handoffs, and get smarter over time. Text from your phone or pick up the same thread on desktop. Each AI agent finishes multi-step workflows end to end and only comes back when your approval is needed. WORK WITH MANY BOTS AT ONCE Create a Bot, give it a task, and add another AI agent when the work grows. One owns a project, one runs outbound, one keeps systems moving. They work in parallel, collaborate where it makes sense, and keep working 24/7. Put a few Bots in the same thread and they pass work between themselves. Stand up a specialist AI coworker for each lane, then promote one to coordinate when you need a single update. SHOW A BOT HOW IT'S DONE Ask an AI agent to follow along as you complete a workflow once. It saves the steps as a routine and runs it on its own next time. Show it how you want email drafted, candidates sourced, or invoices pulled, and corrections stick. Your AI coworker learns your judgment instead of starting from zero. Grok Bot helps you: ▶ Hand off real work to an AI agent across the tools and websites you already use ▶ Automate multi-step workflows without living in a chat window ▶ Message an AI coworker from iPhone or desktop ▶ Run many AI agents in parallel on different jobs ▶ Show a workflow once so it runs as a routine next time ▶ Stay in the loop only when something needs your yes WORK YOU CAN HAND OFF · Sales Outbound: research, outreach drafts, CRM updates, queue only until you approve · Talent Scout: source candidates, skip anyone in your ATS, draft LinkedIn in your voice · Inbox Manager: triage email, flag what's urgent, draft replies, never send without you · Expense Manager: pull receipts, code expenses, chase missing items across portals · Invoice Collector: log into vendor portals, download invoices, park for review · Account Health: digests, risk flags, and next-step drafts so accounts stay warm · Bug Reproduction: recreate issues and hand eng a clean write-up · Competitive Intelligence: overnight watch for launches and stale messaging MEET YOUR FIRST BOT Teammates you can trust to get work done. --- Terms of Service: https://cursor.com/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://cursor.com/privacy © 2026 Anysphere, Inc.
