Shared computer

Also called cloud computer, Grok Bot computer.

In plain English

In Grok Bot, every Bot on an account uses the same cloud computer. Files, browser sessions, and command-line credentials on it are shared.

Example

You sign a website in on the account's browser for one Bot. Another Bot on the same account can meet that signed-in session, because they share the computer.

Why it matters

The computer belongs to the account, not to one Bot. A second Bot does not get a separate isolated machine. Each Bot can have its own screen on that shared computer. Those screens are separate work surfaces, not separate security boundaries.

Between different accounts, Grok Bot's docs say isolation is strict. Local execution, running commands on your own computer, is a separate control from this cloud computer.

Common confusion

Adding a Bot does not add a private computer. Do not put a file or login on the shared computer if another Bot on the account should not use it.
