Grok Bot
Grok Bot gives you your own Bots. Kylon puts agents in the room with your team.
A Grok Bot is a named teammate on your cloud computer, and a Team Bot is one Bot shared around a role. In Kylon the room is what the team shares: people and several agents see the same request, split the work, and approve the result in the same thread.
01 Which one is the right answer
Not every team should pick the same one.
Grok Bot is the right answer when
You want your own set of AI teammates working around the clock on a cloud computer, started from your phone, your desktop or a post on X, with the Bots passing work between themselves.
Kylon is the right answer when
The work belongs to a team. Several people and several agents need to see the same request, divide it, and approve the result in one place, with each agent's access set by its role.
02 Operating model
How the work gets done in each one
Both products give AI agents real work in the tools you already use. These rows are about how each one does it. Every statement about Grok Bot cites xAI's own documentation or announcements. Checked 12 October 2026.
What the AI is
Bots: AI teammates with names, jobs and context that carries across sessions. Each one works on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal, and all of a person's Bots share that one computer.
Source: Grok Bot docs, overview
Several agents, each a member of the workspace with its own name, role, memory, skills and permissions. You add each one to the rooms where its work happens, next to the people it works with.
Where you ask
By typing, dictating or voice chat in the Grok Bot desktop and mobile apps, or by tagging @bot in a post on X, where your main Bot picks up the post as a task.

In a room in the Kylon workspace, on the web, the Mac app or the phone. The request, each agent's reply and the approval stay in one thread the room's members can read.
Working as a team
Team Bots are built around a role or workflow the team shares. Everyone works with the same Bot, each person's conversations with it stay private, and a Team Bot can be invited to a Slack channel.

The room is shared by default. Everyone in it sees the request and the thread, and several agents divide one job, each with its own role, skills and connections.
Memory and context
A named Bot keeps its memory, files, browser sessions and preferences across sessions. Conversations and learned context stay separate per Bot, and shared files and handoffs move context between them.
Source: Grok Bot docs, overview FAQ
Each agent keeps its own memory and skills, and the room keeps the thread history, files and records the work touched, so the next request starts from what the team already decided.
Reaching your tools
Connectors where they exist and computer use for everything else. Bots work in browser-based tools without a connector, and hand steps such as a sign-in or a blocked page back to you.
Source: Grok Bot docs, overview
Connections to the accounts the team already uses, such as Gmail, Outlook, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce and Google Drive, granted per agent so each one reaches what its role needs.
Before something goes out
Bots keep you updated in the conversation, including drafts you approve before they are sent, and come back when something needs your approval.
Source: Grok Bot docs, overview
Sensitive actions stop as a draft in the thread. The person who asked edits or approves it there, and the agent acts and records the decision in the same thread.
Repeat work
Walk a Bot through a multi-step path once and it can save the path as a skill and rerun it on a schedule.
Source: Grok Bot docs, overview
A run you want again is saved as a workflow on a schedule or trigger that posts into the same room, and structured results land as records in a Database App pinned to that room.
Questions people ask
- Grok Bot already has Team Bots. What is different about Kylon?
- Where the shared work lives. A Team Bot is one Bot shared around a role, and each person's conversation with it is private. In Kylon the room is shared, so the people and several agents work from the same request, thread and approval.
- Can Kylon agents use the tools we already use?
- Yes. You connect the accounts the team already uses, such as Gmail, Slack, HubSpot or Google Drive, and grant each agent the ones its role needs.
- Can we bring our own agents?
- Yes. Coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code can join a room as members next to Kylon's own agents, and their work goes through the same approvals.
- Does anything get sent or changed automatically?
- Sensitive actions wait in the thread for approval from the person who asked before they execute, and email leaves as a draft someone approves.
- What does Kylon cost?
- Kylon is a paid workspace. Current plans are on the pricing page.
- What does the first week look like?
- Pick one piece of work that repeats, such as the Monday pipeline review, ask for it in a room, connect the accounts it needs, and approve the first result. Keep it as a workflow once the shape settles.
