Grok Bot wants to take work off your plate, not just answer your queries

SpaceXAI and Cursor's new Grok Bot app treats AI as a working teammate.

Grok Bot

SpaceXAI and Cursor just released Grok Bot. It’s built around AI agents called Bots or “teammates,” if you will. 

Designed to complete real work and only check in with you when something is in the final phase and needs your approval, Grok Bot is currently available in beta on Mac, iOS, Windows, and Linux. An Android version, as well as an enterprise version, are coming soon.

Introducing Grok Bot, now in early beta.

So what does Grok Bot actually do?

The pitch is quite simple. You can create different Bots and give them different tasks, as you would otherwise delegate to a teammate. Then, they take care of the entire project from start to finish.

Suppose you have four different streams of tasks at the start of a day, you can assign them to four different Bots inside the app or the web version. Each Bot runs on its own dedicated computer (a dedicated virtual workspace) and can log into whatever apps and services you already rely on (such as email, messaging, project management software, etc). 

It works across your inbox and other connected tools rather than staying boxed inside a single chat window like regular AI chatbots, only surfacing to check in with you when it needs a decision or approval. 

You can also ask a Bot to follow along as you’re completing a task on the screen, save it as a routine, and then perform it on its own, or put multiple Bots in the same workflow and ask them to collaborate on a task. SpaceXAI says it remembers past conversations (or has a memory) and picks up your preferences or working style over time. 

People are already using Grok Bot to do jobs like negotiate with vendors in their voice, manage support for their online store, and keep their CRM constantly up to date.

Who gets access?

Early examples shared by the Grok Bot team include negotiating directly with vendors using your own voice, handling customer support for an online store, and keeping a CRM updated automatically without anyone manually entering data. 

For now, access is limited to SuperGrok Heavy ($300 per month), Cursor Ultra ($200 a month), and Cursor Teams Premium ($120 per seat per month) subscribers. In short, this isn’t reaching a general audience just yet. 

Grok isn’t the only one to have launched something like that. We already have ChatGPT Agent, Claude Cowork, and Perplexity Computer all racing toward the same service: agentic outsourcing.

AMD’s new workstation packs 576GB of GPU memory and enough horsepower for trillion-parameter AI models
AMD just built a desktop workstation with more raw memory than most small data centers had a decade ago.
People, Person, Performer

AMD just built a desktop that really has no business sitting on an actual desk. At IFA 2026, the company unveiled the Threadripper Halo Station.

As the name probably already suggests, it is a liquid-cooled machine that can run AI models with more than a trillion parameters without touching the cloud even once. If you don't already know, those numbers are reserved for server shelves, not someone's personal desk.

Why doesn’t DDR5 memory always perform the way you expect?
Electronics, Hardware, Computer Hardware

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with ASUS.

DDR5 memory doesn't always perform the way you'd expect because so much of its behavior is shaped by the platform it's running on, not the memory kit alone. A motherboard is one of the few PC components that continues to influence your system long after you've finished building it. Even after you've chosen your processor, graphics card, and memory, it continues to shape which upgrades are possible, how well new hardware behaves, and whether your PC evolves gracefully or starts showing its age before the rest of the system does.

Ecovacs’ robot vacuum will clean deeper, wash itself, and keep an eye on your privacy
This new robot vacuum wants to clean your house so you can forget it exists
DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone

ECOVACS has launched the DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone, a new flagship robot vacuum and mop that focuses on a problem that robot cleaners have historically struggled with: getting deep into carpets while reducing the amount of maintenance owners have to do themselves.

Unveiled at IFA 2026, the X12S uses a sealed dust-mite carpet chamber designed to push into carpet pile rather than simply skim across the surface. In SGS-certified testing, the robot removed an average of 97.44% of dust-mite allergens and 95.45% of dust mites from Wilton carpet. The testing was conducted in July 2026 across three runs in the robot's Ultra Strong Suction mode.
