Description from the channel

xAI just launched Grok Bot, and it's less a chatbot than a coworker with its own computer. Most assistants answer you and stop. Grok Bot keeps going after you close the tab. It gets a cloud machine with a real browser and a real terminal, does the work inside your apps, and reports the output back when the job is done so you can review it. Here's the part worth stealing. You record yourself doing a workflow one time and send the recording over. Grok Bot learns the steps from watching, then runs that workflow again on demand. It's onboarding a new hire once, except this one never forgets the process and never needs the second explanation. That flips the economics of repeat work. Anything you do the same way every week - pulling a report, updating a tracker, chasing a list, reformatting exports - becomes something that runs without you in it. Grok Bot is in beta from xAI: https://x.ai If you already run agents in Claude or ChatGPT, this is the next tier: persistent, sandboxed, and taught by demonstration instead of by prompt. #grok #grokbot #xai #aiagents #automation #ai
