xAI and Cursor Unveil Grok Bot iPhone and Mac App
Imagine you have a robot helper on your phone that can do boring chores for you, like sorting your email.
A new app called Grok Bot does something like that.
Two companies, xAI and Cursor, made it, though some parts of the news story say SpaceX helped instead.
The app works on iPhones and Mac computers, and versions for Windows and Linux computers are available too.
Every Grok Bot gets its very own computer, a bit like giving each helper their own desk.
It can log into apps you already use and finish whole jobs from start to finish.
The bot only comes back to ask you when it really needs your okay.
You can talk to the bot by sending it messages, like texting a friend.
The bot remembers your chats and learns what you like, so it gets better the more you use it.
Right now it is in beta, which means it is a test version that only some paying subscribers can try.
Grok Bot, a new AI agent application, launched in beta today by xAI and Cursor, though some passages in the article credit 'SpaceX and Cursor.'
The app is available on iPhone and Mac, with Windows and Linux desktop versions also offered.
Each bot gets its own computer and can sign into users' existing apps and services to complete end-to-end tasks with minimal supervision.
Bots only return to users when they need approval, and users can message each bot like a colleague.
The bots remember conversations, learn preferences, and improve with continued use, with access restricted to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers.
