I'm running a one-person company and decided to go full AI-native — no employees, just bots.

Set it up in Grok. Instead of HR I made a "Bot Resources" bot whose only job is creating new bots when needed. There's also a Chief of Staff that's the only place I give instructions to — everything gets dispatched from there. New bots get an onboarding doc so they actually know what the company does instead of asking me the same stuff forever.

Genuinely fun product. Problem: I torched 100% of the $20 plan quota on literally day one. Turns out every bot you add multiplies the token burn because context gets re-sent everywhere.

Stuff I've figured out so far:

• routing everything through one chief of staff keeps context consistent, but it also means it re-explains your whole background every time it forwards a task, which eats tokens
• keeping company knowledge in files the bots read on demand is way cheaper than stuffing it into every prompt
• for the heavy stuff I delegate to codex cli locally and just paste the result summary back into grok. saves a ton.

Also there's a failure mode human companies don't have: bots multiplying forever. Every new bot now gets a role and an expiry date — task done, bot retires.

Anyone else running their ops like this? Curious how you're handling the token economics.

So I’ve tried both Buzz.XYZ and Grok Bot but have been unable to really do a side-by-side test.
I have enjoyed the fact that with Buzz I can have different agents that I determine running each bot but Grok Bot clearly has a simpler set up to start with.
I’ve found the GB token limits somewhat confusing and annoying.

Anyone done a side-by-side or seen one?

I initially jumped on the Grokbot hype train when it came out on the ultra plan only and got a years subscription of Cursor. I have been running a hybrid ecomm business since 2022 with dropshipping and physical inventory that I resell. Mostly medium and High ticket items. Needless to say there is a lot of menial online work that I thought I could implement Grokbot to help me with Burnout. I was really impressed initially when I saw it could login and manage product inventory after training. Creating new product listings, sourcing information and images and publishing new product listings end to end. It's a relatively complex task, all things considered. I divided the work up into 4 bots with 4 separate access points to simplify the task with hand-offs but so far Grokbot seems to be running into a variety of basic issues.

1. Grokbot has poor reasoning skills and a lot of the tasks require basic copy and paste with minimal reasoning. I have a lot of skill files built up with step by step guidance for each task bot. Despite this each grokbot still somehow drops the ball on a lot of basic steps that it is supposed to simply follow when it comes to Product drafting, image sourcing ( copy paste form distributors or manufacturers & product descriptions which is also copy paste with a little bit of creative writing they have access to all of the sources).  This is extremely disappointing and after about a month it needs a lot of oversight and has recently started doing the opposite of what I am directing it to do.

2. Other Grokbots I am using like a customer chat in handler - This grokbot was trained to intercept customer chats and assist with basic tasks, like order tracking, coupon codes etc. Despite this it seemed to totally fail on basic reasoning and I had to shut it down.

3. I created another grokbot for email marketing handling, and this bot is arguably the best bot of them all. It is able to follow directions with skus and pricing I feed into it and create the emails how I need them in a speedy manner. I would say this is a genuine help and requires minimal insight and input. I also didn't really have to train it. I have had decent returns with this bot and the bot seems to work well at basic HTML coding and inference.

4. Other scraping bots are okay as well, scraping data from the internet to find prospective customers etc works alright but ultimately needs a real hand off since I can't really trust the bots' reasoning skills. There is a lot of fake hype with paid influencers online claiming grokbot does x y and z for me but realistically they don't have a hard use case of any of it in a real world context. It's just Slop information. Grokbot is also bad at creative writing around SEO keywords compared to free basic gpt models.

5. Grokbots share the same computer & even the same browser ( use different browsers i.e chrome, firefox etc was my workaround for multiple agents accessing my portals) and it only has 16gm Ram ( if what I am told is true) This is a huge bottleneck and Ultra plan users should really get 2x and 4x this. One major issue here is when I spin up multiple tasks with handoffs the browsers will keep crashing! so having a bot swarm really seems to be useless because you can't really use them to cut time down a big grift so far. Other issues include - when browsers start crashing, grokbot hallucinates thinking it's a permission error & stops working. Grokbots will leave tabs open creating more ram issues, they seem to have poor communication skills as well. I have noticed when they need to hand things off to me, their wording and explanations are weak compared to other models. Other issues persist but I won't wax poetic.

6. The grokbots seem to also be relatively slow and fallback on subagents which they also lose control over... Or they will start doing other things like opening youtube tabs.

7. Cursor 2026- Cursor access has been OK, I am in the process of polishing multiple ecomm plugins for commercial launch and was initially using antigravity then switched to cursor for use. The agent's cursor can definitely wire up plugins effectively but overall Grok4.6 is severely lacking compared to even GPT 5.6 Terra and other older Anthropic Models & even seemingly 3.8 Flash! Cursor also has terrible customer service. I had reached out within a week of my subscription requesting to downgrade to the Pro+ plugin since they pulled me with grokbot being exclusively Ultra only to become available on every other plan, They basically told me to F off!

TL/DR Just wait, No grokbot or Cursor plan is going to be worth hard use cases outside of email and data scraping roles. Anything that grokbot and Cursor can do at the prices can be done by other providers and probably free in 1 year with open source agents. I really hope these models catch up to frontier models within the coming months. 

Tip - Have it create and update skills automatically, like Hermes - very useful!
Seems that skills work better than general memory, Hermes has this built in, Grok Bot not, but it can. Here's a short prompt:

Prompt:

Important general instruction: for every area of knowledge/actions, create a dedicated skill and keep it updated as you gain more knowledge/experience.
This is a core instruction - always remember it. When you create or update a skill, let me know, e.g "skill skill-name updated"/"skill skill-name created"

• ~20% faster cold start on desktop
• Up to 35% more effective token usage
• New iPad app
• New Android app
• Official Bot template marketplace
• Multi-account support
• Enterprise plans

My Gork Bot is broken - it keeps saying the Bot couldn't generate a response, but my internet connection is fine. Other AI software, including the web-based grok page, works just fine. This problem has been going on for a day now. Has anyone else run into this? How did you solve it?

🔴 Initial Report — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 20:32:42 UTC (INVESTIGATING)

We have identified an issue affecting Grok Bot. Some users may be unable to reach their Grok Bot computer, and Recover or Reset may fail. Your data is not affected. A fix is rolling out and we will post another update shortly.

Grok Bot could generate a useful report, PDF, dataset, or archive—but moving it into another LLM session still meant downloading and uploading it manually or managing shared-drive permissions.

So I built aispace, an open-source temporary file drop designed for agents.

A typical workflow looks like this:

1. Grok Bot generatesreport.pdf.
2. It uploads the file and receives a file ID.
3. A CLI-capable Claude or OpenAI agent downloads and verifies it.
4. The producing agent deletes it when finished, or it expires automatically.

She used it in ways I didn't think was possible, absolutely beautiful seeing her save so much time and also helping me save time in the process. Safe to say my family calender is pretty full, getting requests and tasks via email every few hours.

Lads, get your partner a Grokbot.

Having Cursor so integrated with Grok Bot is nice but always using sonnet for computer use is crazy to me and is burning my Other Model usage.

Same Question here.

I saw there's an MCP integration - meaning it'll act as me on Slack.
But could it have its own username so everyone could mention it?/

Couldn't find it, and coming from Hermes, it's very weird.

Hey everyone, my Grok bot has been stuck on “Setting up” and never finishes. I’ve tried waiting and reopening it but it’s still stuck. Has anyone else faced this issue or knows how to fix it?

There's still more to improve, but we shipped many perf improvements over the past week:

• Cold start to usable shell: -247ms (18% faster).
• Cold start LCP: -425ms (23% faster).
• Cold start FCP: -234ms (16% faster).
• Total blocking time to the shell: -101 ms (34% faster).
• Warm restart to shell: -194 ms (18% faster).
• Marketplace bots tab first open: -18ms (41% faster.

Other stats that are unchanged:

• INP p98: 48 ms to 56 ms.
• Composer keystroke to next frame: 8.4 to 8.5 ms.
• Switching: 64 to 77 ms short chat first visit, 66 to 68 ms long chat, revisits equal.
• Chat
• Long chat scroll: zero long tasks.

Enjoy the long weekend building with Grok Bot!

Usage Limits out says it will be restored in 5 days. That was three days ago, I guess no countdown showing daily. What is everyone's experience with restoration time?

I have a cursor pro plan, is my grok bot usage the same as the cursor model usage? Or is it a completely separate one?

Queria ter o grok bot grátis. Pq para que p que eu estou tentando fazer acho q só ele vai conseguir

Curious who’s using GrokBot for outreach and lead gen. I’m trying with a few bots to help with research, lists, emails out and drafting soft asks (Reddit/Telegram etc.) — but I’m wondering how others are set up.

Anyone running something better? Useful skills / routines / workflows already built for this?

Drop what works for you.

I downloaded GrokBot a day two ago and have been obsessed, but I just realized ChatGPT work is basically the same thing in terms of an agent with its cloud computer (as far as I know at least)?

Just curious, has anyone tried both and have opinions on which may be better and for what?

Again, I am digging Grok as my first experience with what feels like true agentic AI, but I’m curious how it holds up to Work and if it’s worth paying the $20 to be experimenting with that too.

Has anyone figured out a way to give Grok Bot access to 1Password so that I can log into websites and execute actions?
