SpaceXSI launches Grok Bot, persistent AI teammates on a cloud computer

Archive entry: this covers an event from August 11, 2026, and we published it on November 8, 2026. The details come from sources dated at the time and may have changed since.

On August 11, 2026, SpaceXSI (xAI) made Grok Bot available, according to its developer release notes. Grok Bot consisted of durable AI teammates that worked on a persistent cloud computer, with messaging, approvals, connectors and routines.

What changed

• Shared cloud computer: Bots shared a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal, and multiple Bots could work together.
• Interaction: users interacted with Bots by chat, voice calls and voice notes.
• Connections: Bots connected to Slack, Notion, Drive and Teams, and to any MCP server or API.
• Routines and skills: routines ran on schedules, and walking a Bot through a task once saved it as a skill.

What it meant for people building with AI

Teams evaluating agent products got a hosted option that kept state on a persistent machine and connected through MCP. Because Bots could connect to any MCP server or API, a team could wire one into the tools it already used, and several Bots could share the same cloud computer.

Availability and marketplace

Grok Bot was available on desktop, mobile, Slack and X. A marketplace offered prebuilt bots such as Overheard, Tradbot, Meeting Recap Deck and Pitch Deck Coach, and the Grok Bot overview in the SpaceXSI docs describes the product.
