Frequently asked questions

Bots can use a persistent cloud computer, connected tools, websites, and files to complete work—not only answer questions. They can continue in the background, keep role-specific context, and coordinate with other Bots.

No. Grok (the chat app from SpaceXSI) and Grok Bot are two different apps. A paywall or a Weekly SuperGrok Limit in the Grok app is not about Grok Bot. Grok Bot signs in with your Cursor account. See Sign in.

Use the Grok Bot desktop app on macOS, Windows, or Linux, or the companion app on iOS or Android. The same Bots and conversations sync across your signed-in devices. You can also chat with your Bots in X Chat, tag @bot on X to hand a post to your Bot, and talk to a shared Bot in Slack.

Yes. Bot work runs on the cloud computer. Closing the app, laptop, or phone does not stop a background turn or routine.

Bots work on their own cloud computer. A Bot runs a command on your desktop only if you allow it. The setting is under Settings → Computer → Your computer, labeled Execution on this computer. If no desktop is listed there yet, the same page shows Execution on Local Computer. By default it asks you each time. See Run commands on your desktop.

Yes. Every Bot on your account uses one persistent cloud computer. They share its files, browser sessions, and logins so they can hand work off.

The computer is assigned per user, not per Bot. Do not use separate Bots as a security boundary.

Yes. Bots can reason, use connectors, work with files, and coordinate in parallel. Each Bot gets its own screen on the shared computer. One Bot can run one computer-use task on its screen at a time.

A Bot can retain stable preferences, role context, and summaries of prior work. Its conversations and learned role are separate from other Bots, but a few facts about you, such as your name and time zone, are shared by all your Bots. Shared files, browser sessions, group messages, and direct handoffs can also move context between them. To check what a Bot remembers, ask it: "What do you remember about me?" See What a Bot remembers.

For important decisions, ask the Bot to check the current source rather than relying on memory.

Grok Bot can use many browser-based tools, including services without a dedicated connector. A site may still block automation, require a new login, present a CAPTCHA, or require human confirmation. The Bot should hand those steps to you rather than bypassing them.

Some sites block traffic from cloud computers. When that happens, the Bot hands you the step, and you can sign in yourself on the Bot's computer. You can also turn on Route traffic through this computer in Settings → Computer, under Your computer, so sites see your own connection. If a site times out or shows a connection error instead, see A website times out or won't connect.

Use a connector when one is available for a more structured and reliable integration.

The answer depends on the tool, the risk of the action, and—when enforcement is enabled—your Auto-review rules. Sensitive or consequential actions can stop for approval. Bots sign in with logins from Vault, a connected password manager, or a Secure Form without seeing the values; single sign-on, passkeys, CAPTCHAs, and similar human-only steps use a computer takeover.

Tell each Bot its standing boundaries and ask it to remember them, and add narrow Ask first rules for actions such as sending, publishing, deleting, purchasing, or changing production systems.

Approvals from work that started without you, like a routine or a message from another Bot, expire after about 30 minutes. Approvals in a chat you are in wait for you. See An approval expired or is blocked.

No. Grok Bot picks the model for each task, and there is no model picker. For each task, it uses the backend model most likely to deliver the best outcome. That can be a first-party SpaceXSI model or a third-party model from a provider on the sub-processor list, and the choice can differ from one request to the next. Users cannot be routed to or away from a particular model.

Grok Bot does not show the underlying model for a request. Your usage and spending views record this activity as Grok Bot usage, not by provider or model name. Routing a task to Opus 5.5 doesn't change what it costs you per token; how fast you use your usage depends on the kind of work you give Grok Bot and how much effort each task takes.

Your team's Cursor model allowlist or blocklist does not apply to Grok Bot. Teams with a model allowlist see this notice when they enable Grok Bot. Only providers on the sub-processor list can process your data, and the set of models changes over time. See Models and data and Which AI models power Grok Bot?.

Grok Bot uses Cursor authentication and account data settings. Training opt-out follows the applicable Cursor account and privacy settings.

Grok Bot requires cloud data storage, so Legacy Privacy Mode is not supported. All of your Bots can access the same cloud computer assigned to your account. See Approvals, security, and privacy for the full boundary and links to current Cursor security information.

No. Grok Bot comes with Premium, Super, and Ultra on The X Subscription, and with legacy Cursor Pro, Pro+, Ultra, and self-serve Teams. On a legacy Cursor account you can also link an individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, or X Premium+ account, or sign in with a Grok account that has an assigned seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan. On Enterprise, ask your account team.

Availability and billing depend on the account and plan. On The X Subscription, where new customers start, Grok Bot is included on Premium, Super, and Ultra, for individuals and team seats; Plus and Free don't include it. There, Grok Bot draws from the same weekly usage pool as Cursor and the Grok apps, and prepaid credit covers usage past the pool. Super and Ultra include larger weekly pools than Premium. Check usage under Usage at grok.com/dashboard.

On a legacy Cursor plan, Grok Bot is included with every paid individual plan and with Cursor Teams, and you can link an individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, or X Premium+ subscription. Pro includes weekly usage, Pro+ generous weekly usage, and Ultra the highest weekly usage. When the Weekly usage limit runs out, extra usage continues as On-demand usage if on-demand is enabled, billed through Cursor. Grok Bot usage is metered on your Cursor account, not on Grok or X, and macOS and iOS share the same usage.

See Grok Bot on The X Subscription and Plans and billing. Enterprise customers should contact their Cursor account team.

Individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy, and X Premium+. SuperGrok Lite and Grok Enterprise cannot link. If you have a seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan, you don't link from the plan screen. Sign out, then sign back in with Sign in with Grok using the Grok account that holds the seat. On The X Subscription there's nothing to link: Grok Bot draws from your plan's shared weekly pool. See Link SuperGrok for Grok Bot.

Link Grok Account is on the Get Started with Grok Bot page at cursor.com/bot/onboarding, and on the phone's paywall screen. If you already have access, open Settings → Usage & Billing and look under Manage Plan for Get Access with Grok. It appears only when linking would raise your usage.

No. A link is permanent, and you cannot move it yourself. Contact support with the account that got the link and the account that should have it. Linking is a usage grant, not a Cursor plan, so it doesn't change or cancel the Cursor plan on either account.

No. On a legacy Cursor account, Grok Bot uses whichever one grants more weekly usage. Legacy Pro, SuperGrok, and X Premium+ are the same tier, Pro+ matches SuperGrok Plus, and Ultra matches SuperGrok Heavy. A Grok Business seat works the same way as a SuperGrok link. For more usage, move to a higher tier or turn on on-demand usage. Both subscriptions keep billing on their own; buying one does not cancel the other.

If you upgrade SuperGrok after linking, allow up to 24 hours for the Weekly usage limit to move to the new tier. You do not need to link again.

They are two separate meters for two products. Grok Bot usage lives on your Cursor account. See it in Grok Bot under Settings → Usage & Billing, not in the Grok app.

On The X Subscription, leave Auto Top-up off or set a monthly additional usage limit under Additional usage credits at grok.com/dashboard/billing. On a legacy Cursor plan, turn off on-demand or set a cap: in Grok Bot, open Settings → Usage & Billing → On-demand monthly limit, or on the web go to cursor.com/dashboard and set Monthly Limit under Spending. The cap does not stop a Bot in the middle of a run, so a running task can go a little past it. If on-demand is off, Grok Bot stops when weekly usage runs out and resumes when weekly usage resets.

Some accounts can try Grok Bot before they pay: when the access screen offers Start Trial, choose it. The trial is a usage credit, and a 7-day window also applies. It never turns into a paid plan. The credit is drawn down by how much work your agents do, measured by agent steps and tokens rather than the number of messages you send, so start small, scope tasks tightly, and check your usage on the plan screen before running large or long jobs. One big task can use all of it, and used credit is not restored.

Cancel Trial appears on free-plan accounts. There is no charge to cancel. On a free plan, you can end it early with Cancel Trial in Settings → Usage & Billing on desktop or Settings → Usage on iPhone and Android. That removes any remaining trial credit, and you can't start the trial again. On a paid plan or Teams seat, the trial ends on its own.

An App Store free trial started in the iOS app is different: Apple runs it, and it turns into a paid Apple subscription unless you cancel first. See Manage or cancel a phone subscription.

Grok Bot does not have a separate subscription, so it does not have a separate refund path. On The X Subscription, refunds follow Invoices and refunds, and prepaid credit you've already spent isn't refundable. On a legacy Cursor plan, subscription refunds follow Cursor's Refunds policy; on-demand usage Grok Bot has already consumed and mid-cycle downgrades with usage are not refundable. Apple or Google handles refunds for store purchases. SuperGrok and X Premium+ are billed by SpaceXSI or X, not Cursor; see the Grok FAQ for SuperGrok, and contact X for X Premium+.

Yes. On a self-serve Cursor Teams plan, every member gets Grok Bot on their Cursor account, without a Premium seat or an admin request, and on legacy Teams plans on-demand usage is enabled by default. On a team on The X Subscription, every paid seat (Premium, Super, or Ultra) includes it. On Cursor Enterprise, an admin enables Grok Bot for the team; contact your Cursor account team. Request-based Teams plans and Enterprise seats do not take a personal SuperGrok link. See Grok Bot for teams and enterprises.

No. The email on a Cursor account cannot change. To use a different email, make a new account. See Change your email address.

Yes. On desktop, press Cmd/Ctrl+D or choose Start voice input to dictate into the composer. On iPhone and Android, dictate with Start dictation. Start voice chat starts a live conversation on desktop, iPhone, and Android. Bots can also send a voice memo you can play in the transcript.

See Keyboard shortcuts. Dictate uses Cmd/Ctrl+D. Settings uses Cmd/Ctrl+,. Start voice chat is a button and has no keybinding.

Yes. On desktop, open Settings, go to General, and choose a Language under Appearance. Follow System uses your computer's language, and desktop has 37 languages. On iPhone and Android, open Settings and choose Language; System uses your phone's language, and the phone app has 12 languages.

The language changes the app's menus and messages. New Bots write to you in that language unless you write to them in another one. Voice chat has its own Language setting.

On desktop, open the account menu and choose Switch account or Add account. Settings lists the same accounts; inactive rows include Remove. On iPhone and Android, open Settings and, under Switch Account, choose an account to switch to it or choose Add Account. Swipe an inactive account to remove it.

• macOS on Apple silicon and Intel
• Windows on x64 and Arm64
• Linux on x64 and Arm64, as a .deb package, an .rpm package, or an AppImage
• iPhone on iOS 18 or later
• Android 9 or later

The iOS app also runs on iPad with iPadOS 18 or later. Get the desktop app from the Grok Bot page at cursor.com/dashboard/bot.

A skill describes how to perform a task. A routine assigns a workflow to one Bot and tells it when to run—on a schedule or, where supported, after an event.

Test the skill on a real one-time task before turning it into a routine.

When Teach a task is available, record one browser workflow from the computer view. The Bot turns the demonstration into a draft skill that you can review and test. The rollout may be gradual, and the recording is limited to ten minutes.

Yes. Open the Bot's details, choose Share, then Create a copy. When the Bot posts the template, choose Publish, then Copy link. Anyone with the link can preview it on x.ai and add a copy to their account. They do not get your computer, logins, or conversation history. If your team limits template sharing, the app doesn't offer Create a copy.

The link exposes the Bot's configuration. Strip secrets and anything confidential before you share. Adding a shared Bot accepts the third-party bot terms. See Share a Bot.

To give the team one Bot they all talk to, rather than a copy each person customizes, publish a shared Bot.

Deletion removes the Bot's active profile, conversation, and routines from Grok Bot. Because Bots share a computer, files and logins on that computer may remain. Backend retention follows the applicable Cursor terms. Hide the Bot instead if you may need its work later.

Grok Bot uses your Cursor account, so deleting it deletes the Cursor account. Deletion is self-serve and permanent. Signing out of Grok Bot or uninstalling the app leaves the account in place, and there is no way to delete Grok Bot without deleting your Cursor account.

• On iPhone or Android: tap your account avatar to open Settings, tap your account, then tap Delete Account and confirm. In the browser page that opens, sign in, type Delete, and confirm again.
• On desktop or the web: cancel your subscription first if it is active. Then go to cursor.com/dashboard, open Settings, find Delete Account in More, choose Delete, and confirm. Desktop Grok Bot can sign you out, but it doesn't delete the account.

Deletion removes your Cursor account and Grok Bot access; Grok Bot agents, chats, computers, and connected apps; and Cursor chat history and settings. All data is removed within 30 days. Files on your own computer stay there. An App Store or Google Play subscription, a linked SuperGrok subscription, and a linked X Premium+ subscription are separate: cancel each with Apple, Google, Grok, or X if you no longer want it.

On cursor.com, Delete Account appears for personal accounts. If you are on a Cursor Teams or Enterprise seat, ask a team admin or contact support.
