This is Grokbot. It has AI teammates

that you can give real work to. They

were launched August 11th, 2026 as an

early beta. It actually started as an

internal prototype at SpaceX AI, and

then it was opened up with Cursor. Now,

Grokbot is effectively just a team of

always-on AI agents. So, you can give

them names, you can have them be

persistent, and they can work in the

background in their own computer. And in

this video, I'm going to go through all

of the details. I'm going to show you

how to set it up, and more importantly,

I'm going to share if this is just hype

or if you should actually use it because

it starts at $200 per month. So, what's

the difference between Grokbot and all

of the other AI tools out there? Well, I

actually asked Grokbot to make a full

presentation, so let's quickly go

through it and see what it says. Now,

the main differentiator, at least that I

can see, is that you have a team of AI

agents here that all have access to

their own cloud computer. So, rather

than having to use your machine, they

actually have their own kind of virtual

desktop in the background that's always

on, that has access to a browser, a file

system, and a terminal. Now, apparently,

it's supposed to finish all of the work

for you, so you just give it a task and

it handles all of that, and it's only

going to ask you or ping you if it

actually needs something directly from

you because sometimes there's some human

actions. Now, this was launched again

August 11th, so about a week from when

I'm recording this video in partnership

with SpaceX AI and Cursor. It's an early

beta right now. You're able to get a

free trial for 7 days, but otherwise,

you can use it if you have the Super

Grok Heavy plan, the Cursor Ultra plan,

the Teams Premium plan, or you want to

shell out at least $200 per month just

to access this and at least be on one of

those plans. So, it is very expensive,

and of course, it is closed source, and

the models that you're using are the

Grok models from XAI. You can't bring in

or change anything, and to be honest,

the customization is pretty limited.

Now, basically, the idea is that they're

trying to say things like ChatGPT and

Claude just answer questions for you,

whereas Grokbot does the work. I mean,

I've seen this marketing literally

everywhere, but the cool thing is that

you kind of have this Slack-like

workspace that allows different bots to

talk with each other, run the computer

in the background, and also to learn by

watching you perform tasks, which I'm

going to show you in a second. So, the

main thing here is the cloud computer,

the connectors, the routines, and then

this is the whole team, not just an

agent. That's what Grok Bot said. Let's

see if this holds up, and let me show

you how this app works, how you install

it, and everything you need to know. So,

using Grok Bot is pretty

straightforward. You can just download

the desktop application for Windows or

for Mac, or you can download the mobile

application. Now, in order to use this,

you will need to sign in, I believe,

with your Cursor account or some Grok

account under one of those plans I

mentioned before. Again, the cheapest

that I can find, at least for

individuals, is at $200 per month, but

fortunately, it will give you access to

1 week for free, so you can experiment

and see if this is worth using. So,

anyways, I've got this downloaded, I've

signed it to my account, and this is

what the user interface looks like. Now,

from in here, what you can do is create

different agents, and you'll notice that

it kind of just looks like DMs, almost

like a Slack workspace, where what I can

do is press plus here, I can make a new

agent. So, let's just make a new bot.

You can see that we've got the new bot

right here. Let me just zoom in a little

bit. If I click on the bot, it will open

up its settings, and then what I can do

is give it a role. So, maybe I want this

to be the team leader or something, so

let's call it that. We can give it a

title, we can give it a description, and

then we can toggle notifications on or

off if we want it to mention us when it

needs something. So, the idea with these

bots is that what you're supposed to do

is create separate bots for each kind of

discipline or role that they would have

in your company. You can see that I have

made a virtual assistant. I've made one

that helps me make presentations. In

fact, this made the presentation that

you just saw. I have one that helps me

with my Indonesian studying, and then I

had one that I wanted to connect to X.

However, that was not working very well.

So, from here, once you have the bot,

you can just start chatting with it, you

know, "Hello, world." You also can tag

other bots in this conversation if you

want them to communicate with each

other, and you can ask the bot to

delegate work to other bots. So, I can

say something like, "Hey, can you go and

tell the VA to search through my school

community and give me any feedback that

I need to respond to?"

Boom.

Give it enter here, and then it should

actually be able to trigger this VA bot

to start working, which is kind of the

interesting part of Grok bot that these

agents can communicate with each other.

So, you can see that it said that it

sent a message over to VA. And then if

we go to the VA here, you can see it

received a message from the team leader.

And if I want, I can actually view my

virtual assistant's screen here because

again, they have their own virtual

computer. And you'll notice that it's

inside of my school community here. It's

going to start navigating through it.

And I can actually watch what it's

doing, and then click through and

manually take over if I need to kind of

get over a block or sign into an

account. You get the idea. By the way,

if you guys like AI agents, you want to

learn more about them, join my school

community. I'm going to leave a link to

it below. So, I'm not going to wait for

that to finish, but you get the idea. It

has its own computer. And to be honest,

that's one of the big differentiators is

that this is remote, running in the

background. It will stay persistently

on, which means if you sign into an

account, for example, it will

automatically stay signed in. But now,

let me show you a few other things you

can do and how to use this effectively.

So, just to elaborate a little bit here

on the computer feature. Now, there is a

remote computer, which is the one that

you're seeing right here, which, you

know, I can go into, I can create a new

tab, I can chat with, whatever. It's a

little bit slow because it's running on

like a VPS. And then, the agent actually

has access to your own computer as well.

So, I can tell the agent something like,

"Can you open up Google Chrome in my

browser and open up my X account and

tell me what you see?" And it will be

able to do that in my own computer. So,

I want to differentiate that. You have

the cloud computer, which is always on,

running in the background 24/7. You can

use it from mobile, whatever. Or, you

can actually use your own machine as

well. Now, the reason why that's

interesting is sometimes if I'm actually

on my own machine, I may not want to

hand over my credentials to Grok or put

it in this remote browser. So, I can

have it trigger and run my own browser.

So, let me just show you here that it's

going to spin this up. And understand

that you have those two options. So, you

need to be a bit specific when you're

talking with the bot on which one you

want to use. So, even here this is kind

of proving my point. It opened up X in

this remote browser, not on my local

browser because I guess I wasn't

specific enough. So, let me ask again

and let's see if I can use my actual

browser. Okay, so now you can see that

it's actually giving me the correct

approval flow here. So, let's go always

allow and now it's going to run commands

directly on my machine. So, just wanted

to note that again, you have the remote

browser, you have your local browser,

whatever's on your own computer, specify

which one you wanted to use and then

actually just opened up X here and it

did this. I didn't open this tab on my

own machine. So, let's switch gears here

and let me show you something that I do

all of the time when I'm using these AI

agents, which is actually getting them

to write code and create interactive

HTML presentations. So, you saw at the

beginning of the video I had that quick

Grok bot presentation and what I

actually did to create that presentation

is I just asked one of the agents right

here. Then you actually notice if I go

back to the presentation that it's

deployed on a URL here. Let me close

this x.com. So, the URL is kind of this

random.here.now.

But, this is completely free. I didn't

need to pay for it and I was able to

deploy it directly from my agent by

using something called here.now, which

has been a long-term partner of the

channel. Now, I love here.now. I use it

literally all of the time because the

way that it works is that you can just

copy this agent skill. You just paste it

into your agent whenever you want to

deploy any type of website and it can

deploy it automatically completely free

for you without you even needing an

account. So, literally I don't have to

pay for anything. I don't even have to

sign in if I don't want to and by

default the website will be live for 24

hours. And then if you want to claim the

website and have it be live forever, you

just need to connect it to an account so

they know who it's connected to. So,

literally all I did is I went to

here.now. You can see all the sites that

I have deployed with it. I went over to

the documentation. I copied the agent

instructions and then I just pasted it

there and said deploy with here.now and

you'll see that what it did it just

deployed to this URL. So, I'm just

sharing that cuz you guys always ask me

how I make these presentations. That's

how I do it. I have the agents make them

and then I just have it deploy with

here.now, so I can share it with people,

double-check it, and view it in my

browser really easily. And recently,

here.now added a bunch of great features

like if I click on this, for example,

you can have access controls, custom

domains, databases. Okay, Grok keeps

taking over my browser here. Um you guys

get the idea. So, anyways, check it out.

I'll leave a link to it in the

description. You can literally just tell

the agent to use it and then start

deploying your sites. All right, so

let's now go and talk a little bit about

some more advanced features that you can

do here like routines. So, if I open up

the computer view here, you'll actually

see that I have a routine. Now, you can

add a new routine by pressing the plus

button and just describe what it is that

you want to do, or you can simply ask

Grok to set it up for you. Now, a

routine is pretty much like a scheduled

task, so you can trigger this to run on

a schedule or based on some trigger. Let

me go to my VA, which I have connected

to Slack, and I'm going to ask it to

create a new routine for me, so anytime

I get a Slack message, it's just going

to store that and keep track of it. It's

going to be a simple routine, but let's

try to set it up. Anytime I get a

message on Slack from the sponsorships

channel, I want you to take note of it

and then start organizing and keeping

track of all of the different videos

that I need to work on and reminding me

if something's about to be late and you

haven't from heard from me that it's

complete. Okay, so whatever, just a

simple kind of routine here, but let's

click enter here and see if it will

create this for us based on the Slack

trigger. Okay, so for some reason it's

asking me to connect Slack even though I

believe I already connected it, but you

can see that it did create two different

um what is it, routines here. So, one is

on new Slack messages in sponsorship,

and another is this routine right here.

We're just going to do a do soon check

uh every weekday at 9:00 a.m. Now,

another really interesting thing that

you can do here is inside of the

browser, where you can actually record

yourself doing something and then have

the agent learn exactly how to do that

and create a reusable skill for it. So,

for example, what I can do is just press

this button that says teach a task, and

maybe I want to do like some weekly

research on myself and see what people

think of me or what's popping up. So,

maybe I'm going to start by searching

for Tech With Tim on uh Google here.

Obviously getting past the CAPTCHA, so

let's go past the bus here. I'm going to

maybe scroll through the first page of

Google, just kind of see what's popping

up here, and then I'm maybe going to

search TechWithTim

Reddit, for example, and I'm going to go

Okay, so there actually is a TechWithTim

Reddit, even though I literally didn't

even know that that's a thing, but let's

go here, and let's just search on Reddit

TechWithTim

review or something. I don't know. If we

just want to see what people are saying.

Okay, people talking about some old

courses, whatever. We could click into

it, and you get the idea. So, the point

is I can just do something, especially

if it's more complex flow, record

myself, press stop, and then when we go

here, you're going to see it says learn

from demonstration. So, again, I don't

need to wait for the full flow, but you

can see that it's figured out what I

did, right? It's able to watch through

the demo. It's actually watching it like

a video, which is kind of interesting,

and then it will write a skill that it

can automatically repeat whenever I ask

it to do so. Now, of course, there's

some other stuff you can do here, but

generally speaking, I would say this is

a pretty simple tool. Really, the

benefit is that you have multiple

agents. The agents can communicate with

each other. For example, I just got the

message back from the VA here. You can

have an orchestrator agent. You can set

them up. You can add connectors. The

browser is probably the most useful

part, and this can run fully in the

cloud. So, if you're working from your

phone, for example,

it can handle everything, and you don't

actually need to be on a computer. Now,

let me give you kind of my honest

analysis here after using this tool. If

you're someone who already likes the

Grok models, you're already on these

plans, and you're already paying for it,

this is great. I would probably go ahead

and use it. However, if you're going to

shell out $200 for a month just for

access to this tool, in my opinion, I

don't see it being significantly better

than something like Hermes Agent, or

even something like Buzz, which I

covered before, which is open source,

and you can connect any model and any

agent, too. It's definitely simple. It

works pretty well. The browser feature

is quite cool, and it allows you to do

more stuff in terms of saving the

credentials and staying logged into a

particular session, but it's definitely

not the most secure thing in the world,

and I think there's just a lot of tools

that are much more mature than this that

are going to give you significantly

better value, again, because of how much

this costs. If it was 20 bucks a month,

I'd have a different analysis, but for

me personally, I probably won't be using

this too much unless it really levels up

where I find that all my other tools

that I'm using just, you know, can't do

it as simply or aren't working reliably.

I will also say that even some

connections here just don't work. Like,

whatever I try to do, I cannot get X to

work here. I've tried like a hundred

times. It just will not connect. There's

also a few other connections that just

time out and don't work. And then

generally, sometimes when I give it a

task, it just hangs and it doesn't

actually complete it. So, I think this

is a cool beta. I'm excited to see what

they do with it. I want to hear your

opinion, so let me know in the comments

down below. And with that said, I will

see you guys in another video.
