# xAI expands Grok Bot agent platform beyond beta, adding persistent digital workers

> xAI has pushed its Grok Bot agent platform beyond beta, offering always-on AI agents pitched as persistent digital coworkers rather than chatbots. Each bot gets its own cloud computer, signs into apps natively the way a person would, and learns a workflow from a single demonstration, then keeps working while the user is offline. Pricing runs $200 a month for individuals and $120 per seat monthly for teams, across macOS, Windows, Linux and iOS. The emphasis is on finished work inside real applications rather than generated text. xAI says the bots can run research, manage a CRM, process invoices, reproduce software bugs and even flag proactive tasks, and that multiple bots can delegate to one another. That framing puts it head to head with Anthropic's Claude Cowork and OpenAI's enterprise agents. The interesting shift here is from asking an AI questions to handing it a job. Selling agents by the seat, like human staff, is a very different business than selling tokens, and it raises the stakes on reliability. An agent that quietly signs into your accounts and acts for hours is only useful if you can trust what it does unattended.
