SpaceXAI and Cursor have launched Grok Bot, a new AI agent available in beta for Mac and iOS, with Windows and Linux desktop versions also released, and Android coming soon. Grok Bot is described as an "AI teammate" that can be assigned real work.
The AI agent operates by signing into existing applications and services, performing tasks end-to-end, and returning when approval is needed. Users can message Grok Bot like a colleague, and it learns preferences and improves with use. Access is initially available to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers.
SpaceXAI also released Grok 4.6, an updated AI model that builds on Grok 4.5. This version focuses on long-running agents and complex interactive and visual tasks, including researching topics, analyzing information, and working across codebases.
Grok 4.6 scored 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching GPT-5.6 Sol and improving by 5 points over Grok 4.5. The model's training involved a longer supplemental run with model-generated reasoning, technical material, and engineering data, along with an improved optimizer and training recipe.
SpaceXAI states that Grok 4.6 offers frontier-level intelligence at a lower cost compared to some competitors. Its API pricing remains unchanged from Grok 4.5, at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, which is less than half the cost of GPT-5.6 Sol.
The model also shows strong agentic performance, achieving a GDPval-AA v2 Elo of 1753 and high scores on benchmarks like Terminal-Bench v2.1 and τ³-Banking.
SpaceXAI has completed its acquisition of Cursor, an AI coding company, following an initial $10 billion deal. This acquisition, finalized on August 14, 2026, strengthens SpaceXAI's position in the AI coding market.
The collaboration between SpaceXAI and Cursor was aimed at creating AI for coding and knowledge work, and the recent releases of Grok Bot and Grok 4.6 were developed with Cursor's involvement.

SpaceXAI has launched Grok Bot into early public beta, an AI agent that automates tasks across applications like Gmail and Salesforce. This tool, originally developed by Cursor, acts as a digital work assistant, performing actions on behalf of users. It matters as it represents an expansion of AI capabilities into direct operational automation for paying subscribers.
This guide explains how to install and use Grok Build, a terminal-based coding agent developed by SpaceXAI that interacts directly with codebases. Grok Build uses the Grok 4.6 large language model to read and write files, run commands, and assess changes within a development environment, addressing the inefficiency of copying AI-generated code.
SpaceXAI has expanded its Grok Bot AI system to iPad and Android platforms and significantly reduced its subscription cost from $300/month to $20/month through integration with Cursor Pro. This expansion and price drop make the AI agent system more accessible to a wider user base and enterprise customers, following SpaceXAI's acquisition of Cursor.
An unofficial port of the Grok Bot desktop application is now available for Linux, allowing users to run the AI assistant's UI natively on the operating system. This development provides Linux users with access to Grok Bot's features, which were previously limited to macOS and Windows platforms.
Recent AI bot releases, Grok Bot and Hermes Agent, offer similar user interfaces for managing multiple AI agents but implement vastly different security boundaries. This divergence in security approaches means that the scope of potential damage from a compromised bot varies significantly across products, posing a challenge for platform teams.
SpaceXAI and Cursor, currently merging into a single company, have released Grok Bot, a new AI agent application for iPhone and Mac.
