This is a Botski briefing of public official pages, written so the Blog is not empty. It is not a new product announcement dated today.
What official docs still say
Official Grok Bot docs describe Bots as teammates you keep around. Each Bot works on a cloud computer with a browser, files, and a terminal, so work can finish in real tools instead of stopping as a chat draft.
A good first handoff is a real task with a clear finish line. The docs’ example is the shape that matters: say what to gather, where to look, what “done” looks like, and what must wait for you. Review the result before you save a repeatable skill.
Grok Bot 101 makes the same point in plainer language: you message a Bot like a colleague. That colleague has a persistent desktop. You can chat, set a routine, or let Bots talk to each other.
Approvals stay with you
If a site needs a human step, official docs say the Bot should hand that step back to you rather than work around it. Shared-computer logins matter: if you sign into a site for one Bot, other Bots on the same account computer can reach that site too.
Start small. Ask for drafts. Approve sends, purchases, and other consequential actions yourself. Eight starter jobs from the docs are in Grok Bot use cases.
What the official launch post said
On August 11, 2026 the official Grok Bot account on X introduced Bots as AI teammates that do real work, sign into your tools, and come back with finished work. That matches the later launch note on x.ai.
The card below is that X post.
