What you will practise

Skills worth putting to work.

Design focused Bots

Give each Bot one job, a short name and a description with clear limits.

Write a strong handoff

Include outcome, sources, constraints, deliverable and review point.

Configure Auto Review

Write narrow Ask first and Allow automatically rules.

Build skills and routines

Save a proven process as a skill, then schedule it only after a safe test run.

Example task / fictional source material

Set up an overdue invoice watch Bot

For the fictional Ashgrove Ledger, create a Bot, an Auto Review rule and a saved skill that produces a weekly overdue-invoice list from a mock spreadsheet. Submit the Bot description, the rule, the skill text and a note of what you checked.

Review criterion

Focused Bot

One job, and a description that forbids contacting clients.

Review criterion

Safe approval rule

Ask first covers external email; nothing allows broad browser actions.

Review criterion

Complete skill

States when to use it, inputs, steps, validation, output and approvals.

Review criterion

Checked output

Four or more rows verified against the sheet, with corrections recorded.

Copy and adapt

Prompts to try

Replace the parts in square brackets with your own details, and check every output before you use it.

First handoff

Outcome: [finished result]. Sources: [apps, files or sites]. Constraints: do not [action] and ask before [action]. Deliverable: [format]. Stop and show me the draft before anything leaves this chat.

Save as a skill

Save the process we just used as a skill called [name]. Include when to use it, required inputs and access, the steps, how to check the result, what to return and what always needs my approval.

Routine with a failure rule

Every [weekday and time, time zone], run the [skill name] skill on [source]. Post the result here. If the source is unavailable, report the failure instead of using old data.

Explain an approval

Before I approve this, explain in plain language what the action does, which account and target it touches, and whether it can be undone.

What is Grok Bot and what is it good for at work?

Grok Bot gives you named Bots with a job, memory and context that builds over time. SpaceXAI's documentation says each Bot works on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal, uses connectors where they exist and computer use everywhere else, and keeps working while your laptop is closed.

It suits multi-step jobs that cross several tools and have a clear finish line, such as researching accounts from a CRM list and leaving drafts to approve. Grok bots can run in parallel, message each other, share context in group chats and pass ownership of a task.

Who can use Grok Bot?

SpaceXAI's documentation says Grok Bot is included with every paid individual Cursor plan and the Cursor Teams plan, or through an individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus or SuperGrok Heavy subscription linked to your Cursor account. On Enterprise, an admin turns it on. Grok Bot signs in with your Cursor account and is labelled beta.

The desktop app runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, and the mobile app on iPhone, iPad and Android. The pages we read state no minimum age or full country list, so check the vendor's terms.

How do I get started with Grok Bot?

Install the desktop app from x.ai/bot, choose Sign in and finish authentication in your browser, then link a SuperGrok subscription if that is where your access comes from. Grok Bot needs cloud data storage, so an account on Cursor's Legacy Privacy Mode must change that setting first.

Onboarding asks which tools you use to suggest teammates; it does not connect them. Choose a suggestion or Create your own, and give the Bot a short name, one primary job and a description of how it should work.

What is a good 10-minute Grok Bot starter exercise?

Use a fictional eight-person bookkeeping firm, Ashgrove Ledger, that wants a weekly list of overdue invoices. Make a small mock spreadsheet of invented clients and dates so no real data is involved.

Minutes 1 to 2: create a Bot called Penny with the job Overdue invoice watch and the description: summarise overdue items, separate facts from guesses and never contact clients. Minutes 3 to 4: in Settings, General, Auto-review, add an Ask first rule before sending any external email. Minutes 5 to 7: attach the mock spreadsheet, without connecting any app, and ask Penny to list every invoice more than 30 days overdue with its row number, then a three-line summary. Minutes 8 to 10: check four rows against the sheet, correct any error and ask Penny to save the process as a skill called Weekly overdue watch.

Only after a few clean runs should you create a routine, and use Test run on safe inputs first, because SpaceXAI warns that a test run performs real work.

How do I get better results from Grok bots?

SpaceXAI's guides point to these habits.

Use the five-part request

State the outcome, the sources, the constraints, the deliverable and the review point where the Bot should stop for you.

Teach once, then tighten

Teach a task records up to ten minutes of visible computer interaction. Treat the learned skill as a draft and add decision rules, failure handling and approval limits.

Check the source, not memory

For consequential decisions, the documentation advises asking the Bot to check the current source instead of relying on what it remembers.

Keep routine triggers narrow

Avoid listeners such as every new message; they create noise, use your allowance and raise the chance of acting on irrelevant input.

What should I check before a Grok Bot acts for me?

Follow your employer's AI policy, and connect only the tools a workflow needs. Above all, know that your Bots share one cloud computer, including its files, browser sessions and logins. SpaceXAI says separate Bots are not a security boundary, so sign out of services you no longer need and remove sensitive files after the work.

Auto Review checks tool calls and computer actions before they run. Ask first rules always stop matching actions and win over Allow automatically rules. Approval requests from routines or other Bots expire after about ten minutes. Enter passwords, two-factor codes and payment confirmations yourself through Take over, never in chat. Running commands on your own computer defaults to Ask every time; the documentation suggests Never allow unless there is a specific reason.

On data, Grok Bot follows your Cursor account settings: training opt-out follows those settings, and with Privacy Mode on, SpaceXAI says customer data is not used for training. Hosted computers currently run in the United States.

Where does Grok Bot fall short?

Websites can block automation, expire sessions or require a human step, which the Bot hands back to you. Each Bot runs one computer-use task on its screen at a time. Deleting a Bot does not remove shared-computer files or browser sessions, and an approval cannot reverse work already done.

Several team controls, including network destination limits and enforced Auto Review, are Enterprise only, and Cursor chooses the model, with no customer-facing model picker.

How does Tosheo.ai teach Grok Bot?

Grok Bot sits in Tosheo.ai's AI Agents Development category, where you learn the ideas behind multi-agent setups: specialist roles, handoffs, shared environments and approval rules. Practice starts with no-code tasks; the AI agents development course adds optional Code lessons for building agents in code. It is not a bootcamp, a degree or a job guarantee.

In a 10 to 15 minute lesson you might design two cooperating Bots for a fictional firm and write their rules, marked against a visible rubric. Try the 7-day free trial, no credit card needed.

Before you decide

A few good questions.

What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is SpaceXAI's beta product for persistent AI teammates. Each Bot has a name, a job and memory, and works on a shared cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal to finish tasks in your apps.

How do I get Grok Bot?

SpaceXAI says it is included with paid individual Cursor plans and the Cursor Teams plan, or through a linked SuperGrok subscription. Enterprise admins enable it.

Do Grok bots share logins?

Yes. All your Bots share one cloud computer, so files, browser sessions and app logins on it are available to every Bot you run. SpaceXAI says not to treat separate Bots as a security boundary.

Can I stop a Grok Bot sending emails?

Yes. Add an Ask first rule in Auto-review settings for external email. Ask first rules always stop matching actions for your approval and win over any Allow automatically rule.
