What you'll learn

  • Grokbot from xAI sits behind paid plans and a waitlist, while OpenMausBot, which shipped a day later, is free and plugs into AI tools you already have.
  • OpenMausBot offers a model picker per bot and stores your data locally on your Mac; on both tools the computer part is still too slow for daily use.
  • Real value lies in the connected apps, with a marketplace of more than 500 apps built on Composable.
  • OpenMausBot is open source, so you can have its settings, such as approval cards, adjusted to your liking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Grokbot and OpenMausBot?
Grokbot from xAI sits behind pricier plans and a waitlist and does not let you switch the underlying model. OpenMausBot is a free open-source counterpart that plugs into AI tools you are already logged into and offers a model picker per bot.
How does OpenMausBot handle my own data?
OpenMausBot is local first: your conversations, keys and event logs sit in a folder on your own computer. The models stay online, however, so Claude, Codex and Grok still send data to the cloud to think.
Is computer use usable in these tools yet?
Not really. Goldie watched Grokbot get stuck trying to open Google and type the word hello. He advises treating the computer part as a preview and the connected apps as the usable part for daily work.
Why would you pick OpenMausBot over Grokbot?
OpenMausBot is free, runs on subscriptions you already pay for, lets you pick the model per bot and keeps your data on your machine. Grokbot is more polished but not even reachable for most people because of the waitlist.
