Constraints

Prerequisites: an active Cursor Pro, SuperGrok, or X Premium+ subscription, or willingness to subscribe to The X Subscription Premium tier ($30/month, author claims it includes the above with higher quotas). Grok Bot is tightly integrated with Cursor. The cloud PC runs 24/7; all your Bots share the same browser session and there is no read-only mode. Operations are done on x.ai/bot.

What they did

Author @cyberde05 published an experience report on X comparing Muse, Dots, and Grok Bot, and chose Grok Bot for automation. The author activated the cloud PC via an existing subscription, used the Teach by Showing feature to record a browser workflow so Grok Bot could turn it into a scheduled task, demonstrated remote tasking via @bot in X replies, and emphasized switching approval from Auto Review to Ask First to prevent accidents.

How it went

Author report (author_report): Grok Bot can form a "digital foreman squad," with scheduled tasks running as often as every 5 minutes and up to 50 scheduled workflows per Bot. The author claims The X Subscription Premium tier ($30/month) bundles Cursor Pro + SuperGrok + X Premium+ with higher quotas than individual purchases.

Worth knowing

Prices and bundles are subject to xAI's official terms at the time of use; author-provided details may change. Grok Bot has no read-only mode, and all Bots share the same cloud PC and browser session; assess security risks accordingly. The competitive comparison (Muse/Dots) reflects the author's subjective judgment, not site testing. This site has not verified screen recording or safety settings; reproduction=not_tested.

Steps

  1. Activate the Grok Bot cloud PC

    Go to x.ai/bot and choose Sign in with your plan. If you already have Cursor Pro, SuperGrok, or X Premium+, you can directly activate the cloud PC and weekly compute quota. If you need a new subscription, the author mentions The X Subscription Premium tier ($30/month) bundles those services with allegedly higher quotas; existing single subscribers can switch in Billing Settings for a prorated refund.

  2. Teach Grok Bot by screen recording

    In the Grok Bot client, click Teach a task. Perform the target workflow once in the cloud browser (for example: open a data site → filter the latest rankings → extract top 20 items → export to a spreadsheet → generate a draft brief). Continuous recording is supported up to 10 minutes. After that, Grok Bot automatically saves it as a Routine, which can run as frequently as every 5 minutes in the background; each Bot supports up to 50 scheduled workflows.

  3. Assign tasks remotely via @bot in X replies

    When you see a post on X that needs processing (e.g., a long financial report, open-source project, or deal thread), reply under the tweet with @bot and describe the task, such as "Grab the tools mentioned in this post, run a test, and save the results to my drafts." The cloud Bot will pick up the task and execute it.

  4. Change approval to Ask First

    Go to settings and change all rules involving external sending, modifying, or paying from AI Auto Review to Ask first (require my confirmation). Reason: Grok Bot has no read-only mode, and all your Bots share the same cloud PC and browser login state. Under Auto Review, a second AI may click Send or Pay on your behalf. With Ask First, the Bot only queues drafts (Queued Drafts); the final confirmation is always performed by you.
