xAI has launched Grok Bot for macOS and iOS, positioned as AI teammates that can sign in to your apps and websites, complete tasks end-to-end, and return only when approval is needed.
Key capabilities:
- Parallel bots: spin up multiple bots for different projects; they work 24/7 and collaborate in shared threads.
- Teach a task: demonstrate a workflow once and the bot saves it as a routine to run autonomously.
- Memory: bots keep context and learn from each other (e.g., remembering a client only signs annual deals).
- Preset roles include sales outbound, talent scout, expense manager, and chief of staff.
A viral thread by @aitrendzxyz showcased 12 everyday use cases, from hands-free food ordering and voice reservations to calendar management and job hunting.
