SpaceXAI has opened an early public beta of Grok Bot, a digital work assistant that can reportedly access connected services and perform tasks on a user’s behalf.

According to Engadget, eligible subscribers to selected paid SpaceXAI and Cursor plans can create bots for tasks including email, research, form completion and social-media responses. The reported supported services include Gmail, LinkedIn and Salesforce.

Grok Bot is distinct from SpaceXAI’s conventional Grok chatbot and Grok Build, which is described as a coding agent. The product originated within Cursor under the codename Sand and was partly built using SpaceXAI computing resources.

The beta is available on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. Users can create a bot, define its role and assign tasks, with the service reportedly able to continue working across connected tools and return results or request approval.

SpaceXAI says bots can learn workflows by observing users complete tasks, retaining those processes for future runs. Availability, features, reliability and plan restrictions may change while the product remains in beta.

Because the bots may access inboxes, browser tools and work accounts, users are advised to start with low-risk tasks and keep human approval enabled for actions that could send messages, alter records or expose sensitive information.
