Grok Bot is an AI service designed to handle work tasks for the user. According to a SpaceXAI presentation seen by Bloomberg, it had 418,000 weekly users through September 14, 2026. That would be 24 percent more than the week before.

The figures come from the company's own presentation and have not been independently verified. Bloomberg's original report is also not reproduced here.

What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is built on what are known as persistent AI agents. That means each agent has its own dedicated cloud computer that it can work on around the clock. The agents can operate websites, apps and inboxes, and they contact the user only when a decision or approval is needed.

Tasks include email management, sales outreach, bug fixes and administrative work. Multiple bots can run at the same time under a manager.

The product was built in collaboration between xAI and Cursor. According to Constellation Research, it is used internally for sales, marketing and expenses.

Pricing and access

Grok Bot launched in beta around August 11-12, 2026. Sources do not fully agree on the date. At launch, it cost from $120 per month. The beta was open to subscribers of SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra and Cursor Teams Premium, and enterprise plans were on the way.

According to eesel AI, Grok Bot is included at no extra cost in SuperGrok Heavy. The subscriptions have a weekly usage allowance, and eligible accounts can buy more at model and token prices. A token is a small unit of text in which AI models measure usage. At the time, there was no spending cap specific to Grok Bot.

The product requires a paid subscription, but the documentation mentions a one-time trial for individuals. How long it lasts has not been published.

Competition from Meta

According to Crypto Briefing, Meta's Muse has received roughly four times as many downloads as Grok Bot. The two products target different markets, though: Grok Bot is aimed at work use and Muse at consumer tasks.

For ordinary users, the figures show that AI assistants that carry out tasks on their own in the background are gaining ground. However, the price and usage-based billing mean they mainly appeal to those who want to use them professionally.
