SpaceXAI has opened public beta access to Grok Bot, a software agent that logs into services like Gmail, LinkedIn and Salesforce to complete tasks such as filling forms, sending emails and posting on social media. Unlike the conversational Grok chatbot or the coding-focused Grok Build, Grok Bot acts as a persistent digital assistant that can run multiple linked bots on a shared cloud account, working autonomously and reporting back or requesting approval when needed.

xAI's Grok Build is a terminal-based AI coding assistant that supports mouse clicks for navigation but requires an external editor like Visual Studio Code for direct code edits, unlike rivals such as Google's Antigravity that bundle a full IDE. Users can prompt it to explain a codebase, install dependencies, run a web app, or build one from scratch and get deployment guidance, then iterate with further prompts. Access depends on a Grok plan, with free users hitting token limits quickly and paid SuperGrok tiers ($30 to $300 monthly) offering higher weekly caps.
