xAI Bundles Grok Bot Into More Paid Subscriptions — xAI has expanded access to Grok Bot, its agent product launched in beta on August 11, 2026. The bot is now included with SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Pro+, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Standard and Premium. Shipped today is the plan bundling itself plus a macOS build, version 0.24.0. Enterprise rollout is announced but not shipped, and larger teams are directed to a waitlist. Marketed capabilities include a persistent cloud VM with browser and terminal access, multi-bot group chats, and recorded routines that a bot replays on its own. xAI ↗

My takeaway: A bot with a browser, a terminal, and your session cookies is not a chat tool with a bigger context window. I'm very curious how security gets managed around bots, but I wasn't able to find it from the article. The article says enterprise access is still a waitlist, but personally, treat this as a personal productivity experiment on a laptop for now.
