Grockbot is a new multi-agent workplace assistant tied to Cursor and xAI tools, designed to let users manage specialized AI bots across desktop and mobile, but its early version appears costly and unfinished. Multi-agent design Grockbot is positioned less as a single chatbot and more as a coordinated team of AI agents. Users can create specialized bots for functions such as content, inbox triage, operations or scheduling, then let those bots collaborate in shared group chats to complete tasks. Cross-device access The product runs on desktop, web and mobile, with chats syncing across devices. That allows users to message agents from a phone as if they were contacting co-workers, while keeping the same conversations and workflows available on a computer.
