SpaceXAI Launches Grok Bot: Persistent AI Agents That Work 24/7 at $120 per Seat per Month
My take: On August 11, SpaceXAI launched Grok Bot in early beta: persistent AI agents that run on dedicated cloud virtual machines with their own computing environment, credentials, and context. Unlike assistants that only respond when you call them, these bots keep working after you close your laptop.
The price is $120 per seat per month on the Teams plan, built on the Cursor platform that SpaceXAI acquired for $60 billion in June. Bots can sign into any app or website, including those without an available API, and they can learn a workflow by watching you do it once, then run it on a schedule on their own.
What this represents is a new class of tool: not a language model you ask questions, but an agent with persistent identity, credentials, and context that can execute complete business processes autonomously. For small teams or business owners who today manually delegate repetitive tasks, this kind of automation is starting to become accessible, though $120 per seat per month adds up on a tight budget.
The concept of an "AI colleague" that works while you are not around is now real and has a price tag. What processes in your business or daily work could run on their own in the background, without requiring you to be present?
