Alex Prompter(@alex_prompter):Grok Bot isn’t a chatbot wrapped around an API, it’s a real, persistent computer running in xAI’s cloud, and that machine comes with an actual terminal. A terminal doesn’t care what it’s asked to run, which means in theory it can install and use tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, the same subscriptions people are already paying for and barely touching. The appeal is obvious: instead of burning through Grok Bot’s own usage limits on every task, the terminal becomes a shared workspace for tools you already own, so nothing gets split across three different apps to finish one job. The post below breaks down what the setup actually is and the one thing worth knowing before you rely on it.
