xAI just launched Grok Bot, and this is much more interesting than another model release. And especially *not* on my bingo-card. And the first cursor-release of the week.

You basically create AI coworkers that have their own computers, can log into Gmail, Salesforce, LinkedIn and basically any website, work 24/7 even *while your laptop is closed*, and come back when they actually need you.

You can even show them a workflow once and they turn it into a routine. Multiple Bots can work in parallel, talk to each other and hand tasks between themselves.

Interesting detail: this is VERY deeply integrated with Cursor. The downloads are hosted by Cursor, Cursor Ultra includes it, and xAI is literally selling Cursor plans on the Grok Bot page. But it isn't only a Cursor product: SuperGrok Heavy users get access too.

tl;dr: Cursor deal was probably the best thing ever happened to xAI. Really interesting release.
