On this page

Grok Bot launched in beta on 11 August 2026. Since then the price of entry has fallen from $200 to $20 a month, the app has reached Linux, Android and iPad, and several screens have new names. The desktop app is on version 0.68.1.

#The changes that matter most

Nine changes decide what you pay, where Grok Bot runs and what a Bot can do. They're in date order, newest first, each with the page that teaches it.

When What changed Where it's taught
2 October 2026 Main Bot. One Bot, marked with a star, checks in with offers to take work on and coordinates your other Bots. Its suggestions, which began the day before, don't count against your usage. Your Main Bot
28 September Team Bots. One Bot a whole team chats with, in the app or in Slack, each person in a private chat. In public beta on Cursor Teams and Enterprise. Teams and Slack
17 September Voice. A live voice chat with a Bot, on desktop and phone. A day later Bots could send voice notes. Type, dictate or talk
9 September Usage & Billing. Settings shows your weekly usage, and the chat warns you near the limit. The monthly cap on on-demand spending had arrived on 25 August. Usage limits
3 September Enterprise. Open to every Cursor Enterprise team, once an admin turns it on. Teams
2 and 3 September Android and iPad. The Android app on 2 September, iPad support a day later. Platforms
30 August to 4 September Linux. A desktop app for Linux, as a .deb, an .rpm or an AppImage. A team member announced it on 30 August, and the official FAQ listed it by 4 September. Linux
21 and 26 August More plans, lower prices. Cursor Pro+, SuperGrok Plus and every Cursor Teams seat on 21 August, with a free trial for everyone else. Cursor Pro, SuperGrok and X Premium+ on 26 August, which put the entry price at $20 a month. Pricing and the free trial
11 August Launch, in beta, on Mac, Windows and iPhone, for Cursor Ultra, SuperGrok Heavy and Cursor Teams Premium seats. What is Grok Bot?

#Screens and names that changed

Those nine added things. Six more changes renamed or removed something you click, so a tutorial recorded in August or September can show a button your app doesn't have. Find the label your tutorial uses.

An older tutorial shows The app now Changed
Bot settings, Description, Edit Profile A Bot has no settings page and no description field. You tell a Bot its job in a chat message. See the standing job. Late September
Marketplace, Plugins Connect apps, at the bottom of the sidebar. It opens a window titled Connect Apps. See connect a plugin. 26 September, for the button
Auto-review Rules Custom Rules, in the same place in Settings. Team accounts still show the older name. See write a rule. Version 0.68.1, October
Test run, Run history Both are gone from a routine's page. Ask the Bot to run the routine now. See routines. Mid-September
New Channel Create group chat. See group chats. Early September
Agent Bot. Only the word changed. 14 August

The glossary lists every older name beside what the app calls it today.

#The first eight weeks at a glance

Put on one line, those changes fall into an order. The first month settled who could get in and on which devices. The second added new ways to work with a Bot.

#Check: an August tutorial, today's app

Now use the table of changed screens on the case you're most likely to meet.

Predict

A video from August tells you to click your Bot's name, open Bot settings and paste the Bot's job into Description. In today's app the panel that opens has no such field. What do you do?

  • Look for the field under Settings, in General
  • Send the Bot its job as a message in its chat
  • Install an older version of the app, where the field still exists
Show the answer

Send the Bot its job as a message in its chat

The Bot settings page went away in late September, and nothing in Settings took its place. A Bot's standing job is now a message you send it. Tell the Bot its standing job shows one with each part labeled.

An older version won't help either, because once a version is too old, Update required covers the whole window until you update.
