The new software allows for the autonomous operation of computers, enabling users to conduct research across LinkedIn and Google or organize digital communications. Grok Bot can learn specific workflows by watching a user once and execute them independently, with capabilities extending to filing taxes and booking first class flights. The update also introduces Grok Build, a tool that audits Windows PCs to remove bloatware, trial software, and unnecessary background applications.
Access to the autonomous agent requires a Grok subscription priced at $300 a month. xAI also launched sharing and access management for apps developed within the platform, allowing users to set permissions for private, team, or public deployment across iOS, Android, and the web. Early adopters report the bot can analyze as many as 150,000 emails to coordinate a user's schedule and create specialized agents for hourly political updates.
