Grok Bot: Set Up and Supervise AI Teammates
Set up xAI's Grok Bot, get a cited first result in 15 minutes, and keep AI teammates in check with approvals and tested routines. 8 lessons + certificate.
Grok Bot isn’t another chat window. It gives you named AI teammates, called Bots, that work on their own cloud computer, sign in to your tools, and keep going after you close your laptop. That’s a big step up from asking a chatbot questions, and it comes with new responsibilities: what can each Bot see, what can it do without asking, and how do you know its work is right?
This course answers both halves. In Lesson 2 you’ll build your first Bot and get a summary of one of your own documents, with a citation on every item and the original file untouched. From there you’ll write job descriptions with firm limits, learn why all your Bots share one computer (and what that means for your logins), set Auto-review rules so risky actions stop for you, and turn a proven task into a tested routine.
Everything is grounded in xAI’s official Grok Bot documentation, checked on September 30, 2026. No invented prices or allowances, and the exact labels you’ll see on screen. You’ll finish with a one-page Bot Operating Plan you can use at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Grok Bot the same as the Grok chatbot?
No. The Grok chatbot answers questions at grok.com and in the X app. Grok Bot is a separate desktop and mobile app where named Bots work on a shared cloud computer and finish multi-step tasks in real tools. It signs in with a Cursor account.
Which plan do I need?
Per xAI's docs and Cursor's plans page, Grok Bot is included with paid individual Cursor plans (Pro, Pro+, Ultra) and Cursor Teams, or you can link an individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, or SuperGrok Heavy subscription. SuperGrok Lite is not included. Access has changed since launch, so confirm on the plan screen in the app.
Do I need to code?
No. You set up Bots by writing plain-language job descriptions and messages. The course never asks you to write code.
How long does it take, and is there a certificate?
About 2 hours across 8 lessons of 12–20 minutes. Finish the lessons and pass the quizzes to earn a verifiable certificate.
