Grok Bot's App Store listing names the developer as Anysphere. That's Cursor.
xAI closed the $60B Cursor acquisition this week and shipped Grok Bot alongside it. The "product launch of the year" chatter is really the first public look at what that deal bought.
Claude Code's unlock was handing the model an actual computer. Grok Bot runs the same play at fleet scale. Every bot gets a persistent cloud VM with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal. It logs into your apps, keeps working while your laptop is shut, and only surfaces for approvals.
I ran a fleet for a week and wrote up the setup plus 100 jobs to hand your bots →
Two features carry the product. Skills self-correct as they run, so a task you teach once keeps improving without you touching it. And bots route work to each other, which means you stop being the middleware between your own agents.
That second part explains the 100x usage jumps people are reporting. Chat usage was capped by how fast you could type. A fleet on its own computers is capped by how much finished work you can approve. Different ceiling entirely.
Cursor spent years learning to build agent harnesses. xAI spent $60B to skip the line.
