Hands-on: Grok Bot computer use took over Cloudflare and nailed the task, just slowly
tristanbob · x · 2026-08-30
The author tested Grok's @Bot Computer use: quite good but extremely slow, 30 seconds per click. Cloudflare's Grok Bot plugin connector is read-only, so he asked Grok Bot to add an email address for sending mail from his domain.
Grok Bot asked to "take over" so he could enter credentials and 2FA, then did exactly what was asked. The whole process took 20 minutes; every step was watchable and interruptible. It would be much faster if Cloudflare added native plugin support.
