| | | GROK | | | SpaceXAI has launched Grok Bot, a new AI agent designed to act like a digital teammate and handle work for you. | The bots run on their own cloud computers and can use the apps, tools and websites you already work with. | Give them a task, and they can complete it on their own, only checking back when they’re finished or need approval. | In short: | Grok Bot can handle multi-step work across different apps. Several bots can work together and share context. The beta is available now to selected paid users, with wider business access planned.
| Probs has LinkedIn now | The launch puts SpaceXAI alongside workplace AI tools from OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft. | SpaceXAI says an earlier version was already being used internally for sales, marketing, admin and bug fixes. | You can run several bots at once, with each handling different tasks. They can also share information, coordinate work and remember how you prefer things done. | Welcome to the agentic age, Grok. - MV |
