Chat vs coworker

Same family. Different job. Keep these two pictures in your head for the rest of the course.

The intern at your desk

This is the chatbot you already know — Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude. Brilliant. Fast. Sits in a tab. Answers live in the window. Stops when you close it.

The intern with a locked office

You create named AI teammates. Each one works on a real computer in the cloud that stays on even when your phone and laptop are off. You message them like a coworker.

Which of these is Grok Bot?

Tap one. Wrong answers are part of the fun.

Myth: “Is this just Grok with extra steps?”

No. Grok is the conversation. Grok Bot is the coworker. You can talk to Grok when you want a thought. You text a Bot when you want a job done — including the boring clicking on websites that have no fancy “AI button.”

And it is not the @grok account on X. That’s a public account. This is its own app, on your phone and on your desktop.

Not official xAI training. Built to translate the technical docs into human.
