Grok Bot
Launched this week
Introducing Grok Bot: AI teammates you can give real work to.
Bots sign into your tools, use them like you do, and come back with finished work. Message them like a teammate. They keep context, multitask, and learn your working style on their own cloud computer.
Ask Bots to run outbound overnight, code expenses from Gmail, schedule a recruiting onsite, rebalance paid ads, or ship a bug pack. They only come back when something needs your approval.

It feels like PPLX Computer. But with the extra "bots can also collaborate between them" aspect bolted on and the fact that its on a virtual computer (Unlike PPLX computer which requires a dedicated macbook or macmini).
Question. This is a single player platform today. Do you think it will open up for a more team based control plane in the future?
Another question. Since its a virtual computer. that means logins etc will need to be piped in. There will be alots of unkown IP logging into XYZ etc. And solve this captch because new IP walls. Any insight here? Whats the exeperience and friction level?
thanks!

@conduit_design A bit different from PX Computer, each Grok Bot account gets a single persistent cloud machine (browser, files, terminal, live logins) that their Bots share, and Bots can coordinate in threads / group chats independently so you’re not the management layer between specialists!
Team-based control plane is what we're interested in in the future. This may start with "shared Bots" and starter packs, and then move towards fuller shared controls. You can join an enterprise waitlist to get early access to what this looks like :): https://cursor.com/contact-sales?product=grok-bot

@lauren_place Right. the bots collaborate in chat rooms is an area that is increasingly relevant. I see more and more moving towards that like QM from YC. https://github.com/yc-software/qm on that note. It seems very capable but also a worry that keeps coming up on SoMe. These platforms burn a lot of tokens. What do you envision being the pricing tier for this. Like 5h work included and anything outside that you pay extra etc? like a timed cap, like claude? If its straight to token burn I feel this will be priced out for a lot of companies. esp startups on ramen noodle budgets :D

@conduit_design On logins, there s user choice on what to use with each tool. In general, we:
Prefer high quality connectors/MCP where they exist
Can also have Bots use the real UI on the cloud computer
Login, 2FA, captcha, and payment credentials and hands the computer back to you to complete sensitive steps, and then sessions persist after that.
TLDR; session one can feel a bit like a "new device” (captchas, email codes, “is this you?”). After the first sign-in, friction drops because the session sticks on that machine. We've been running this internally and with a beta program of hundreds of testers for the past several weeks and haven't run any issues on sessions sticking. Overall it's been really fun to work with!

@lauren_place Thanks. Follow up question. So the virtual machines they persist? they are not torn down after use?
Product Hunt
Nice launch! Wondering about the multitasking part: if I hand it four things at once, does it queue them or genuinely run them in parallel?
Grok
@alina_petrova3 Runs in parallel, but depends on how you prompt them! If you give a one Bot four tasks in a row it will keep context and work through them in sequence (but can spin up sub-agents or call another Bot to parallelize work if prompted to do so).
For parallelizing work without additional prompt context we recommend having a "chief of staff" Bot (or putting a few Bots in a group chat), and they will divide and conquer tasks and parallelize work as a default.
Product Hunt
Big launch from Cursor.
@benln what's the biggest change/surprise building Grok Bot since you all started?
Cursor
@rrhoover I was surprised at how fast this spread internally. I don't think I've ever seen a product catch on so fast across so many different teams/use cases.

@nrique You could create an agent to help brainstorm post ideas, track engagement, and iterate on new ideas over time.
