Frequently asked questions

Fair questions,
straight answers.

Twelve plain-English answers about Grok bots, templates, and what this independent registry does — and doesn't — check. No hype, and no affiliation with xAI.

About Grok Bot

The product,
in plain terms.

03 QUESTIONS
01

What is Grok Bot?

Grok Bot is the agent product from xAI (now SpaceXAI): a persistent, named AI teammate with its own cloud computer. It launched in beta on 11 August 2026 as the first joint xAI–Cursor product, runs on Cursor infrastructure, and keeps working — routines included — while your machine is off.

Apps are available for macOS, Windows, and iOS under the tagline “AI teammates that finish the work”. It is a different product from Grok’s avatar companions, from the older Grok Tasks feature in the chat app, and from the historical @grok reply bot on X.

02

Is Grok Bot free? What does it cost?

There is no standalone price. xAI opened a free limited trial on 21 August 2026, and since 26 August 2026 Grok Bot has been bundled into all eight SuperGrok and Cursor plans — at beta launch it was limited to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium.

Each paid plan reportedly carries a weekly usage allowance, with overage billed at model token cost; enterprise access is waitlisted. Beta pricing shifts quickly, so treat this as a late-August 2026 snapshot and confirm against xAI’s current plans.

03

What are skills, routines, and connectors?

Skills are reusable instruction sets a Bot can follow — you can create one by demonstrating a workflow once with Teach a Task. Routines are scheduled or event-triggered workflows; xAI has reported limits of roughly 50 routines per Bot with the 20 most recent runs kept, and triggers that include time schedules plus Slack, GitHub, and Teams events.

Connectors plug a Bot into outside services — the docs name Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, and GitHub, alongside plugins and MCP servers. Bots request permissions conversationally, and you can require human approval before sending, publishing, deleting, or purchasing.

Templates

How sharing
actually works.

04 QUESTIONS
04

What is a Grok Bot template?

A Grok Bot template is a public, shareable copy of a Bot’s setup. Template sharing shipped on 28 August 2026: a creator opens Bot settings, picks “Share as template”, and gets a public x.ai/bot/… link anyone can open.

The share page previews the Bot’s identity, description, skills, and routines. Choosing “Add to Grok Bot” creates an independent copy on your account — your changes never touch the creator’s original.

05

What does a template include — and what does it never include?

A template can include instructions, selected memories, skills, routines, and first-party integrations. It never includes conversation history, the Bot’s computer or files, signed-in sessions, API keys or secrets, or custom MCP servers and scripts.

A useful shorthand: you share the recipe, not the prepared meal. A freshly added template still needs its own accounts connected and its own permissions granted before it can do real work.

06

How do I add a template to my account?

Open the public x.ai share link, review the preview, and choose “Add to Grok Bot” — the Grok Bot app is required. That creates an independent copy of the Bot on your account.

Before relying on it, review the copy’s live instructions, connected tools, routines, and approval settings inside the app. The step-by-step walkthrough is in our guide to adding a template.

07

Why is a template I added missing its skills?

Possibly because of a known export bug, not a bad listing. Users on the Cursor forum have reported that a template’s share page can preview skills while the exported template itself ships with an empty skills list.

If a template arrives without the skills its listing describes, re-check with the creator before writing the listing off — it may be this bug rather than the template.

What we check,
and what we don’t.

05 QUESTIONS
08

Is this site affiliated with xAI?

No. grokbottemplates.dev is an independent, curated directory of public Grok Bot templates, with no affiliation to xAI or Cursor.

xAI has said an official bot marketplace is coming, possibly in early September 2026. Our job stays the same either way: independent curation with clear attribution, honest access notes, and a link inspector.

09

What does “Scheduled” vs “On demand” mean on a listing?

“Scheduled” means the template is built around routines that run on a timer or on events, so the Bot works without being prompted. “On demand” means you start each job yourself in chat.

For community listings the cadence is inferred from the public description rather than verified inside the template. Treat it as a reading aid, and confirm the actual routines on the x.ai share page and in the app after adding.

10

What does “link checked” mean?

It means that on the noted date the listing’s share link was reachable, pointed at the official x.ai domain, and matched the public template link format. For curated listings we ran that check ourselves; for community listings the date shown comes from the source registry’s own check. That is the whole claim.

A link check is not a security audit and says nothing about what the Bot does or requests. Always review a bot’s live instructions, connected tools, requested accounts, routines, and approval settings inside Grok Bot before adding it — and you can rerun our check any time with the link inspector.

11

How do listings get added or removed — and how do I submit mine?

Listings come from our own curation and from community submissions, which sit in a private review queue until approved. We delist templates whose share links go dead, whose behavior no longer matches the listing, or whose creators ask us to.

To submit your own public template, use the submission form — you keep ownership of the original x.ai configuration throughout.

12

How is my account data used?

Signing in with Google shares your basic profile with us — name, email address, and avatar — which we use to identify your account. Against it we store two things: the templates you save, and any listings you submit for review, which carry your sign-in identity.

We never see or copy your Bot configurations, credentials, or conversations. The full details are in the privacy policy.

STILL WEIGHING A LISTING?

Run its share link through the link inspector, then read the live configuration inside Grok Bot before you add it. Or head back to the full directory of Grok Bot templates — useful beats clever, and checked beats assumed.
