xAI's Grok Bot has entered early testing, marking a shift for AI agents from simple chat assistants to virtual co-workers. The bot can log into user tools, operate applications like a human, and return results upon task completion. Users can even turn off their computers while it continues working in the background.
Current real-world use cases include negotiating prices with suppliers, managing e-commerce customer service, and automating CRM maintenance.
