Hands-on with xAI Grok Bot: Autonomous Context & Collaboration
aakashgupta · x · 2026-08-15
The author tested xAI's new Grok Bot, highlighting its ability to autonomously fetch context—reading an entire Substack archive without input—instead of asking for it. Each bot runs a persistent cloud computer with a browser and terminal, signing into tools and mimicking human actions like clicking and waiting. The key feature is inter-bot collaboration within a single thread, allowing bots to hand off work and escalate only when human approval is needed.
