xAI Launches Grok Bot Public Beta, Always-On AI Agent Teammates
xAI
xAI opened a public beta of Grok Bot, AI agents that get their own cloud computer, sign into a user's existing apps and tools, retain context across tasks, and carry out multi-step work autonomously, checking back only when approval is needed.
Why it matters
Pushes xAI further into the agentic-AI/autonomous-coworker space where it now competes directly with Anthropic and OpenAI's agent products.
Importance: 3/5
Notable new product launch from a frontier lab, official+media confirmed.
