Rafomac News, Tech & Trends That MatterSpaceXAI has launched Grokbot, a new AI assistant designed to outpace rivals Hermes Agent and Open Claw by running multiple AI personas each with their own cloud computers. The question is, does Grokbot deserve a spot on your team?
Meet Grokbot: Your AI Team with Cloud Computers
SpaceXAI’s Grokbot arrives as a fresh contender in AI personal assistants, standing out by offering full-fledged teams of AI agents rather than a single helper. Each agent sports its own personality, name, and even a cloud-based computer, giving it the power to work independently and in parallel.
This setup means you can watch your AI agents in action, controlling their virtual computers and interacting with them in real time. This visibility not only builds trust but lets you guide them directly—whether it’s teaching a task or taking over to intervene.
Teaching Grokbot New Skills Becomes Simple
One of the most compelling features is Grokbot’s intuitive “teach a task” function. Just start a screen recording and walk the AI through your workflow—whether it’s managing newsletters, shopping online, or creating complex presentations. Grokbot learns by watching, turning your demonstration into a repeatable skill that it can run on demand.
While giants like Claude and ChatGPT have recently added similar capabilities, Grokbot’s approach feels more user-friendly and direct, letting you build and refine skills without diving into complicated setups.
Built-in Access and Collaboration for Maximum Efficiency
For creators and professionals who juggle multiple tasks, this built-in cloud computer is a game changer. You can securely log Grokbot in to your accounts and let it handle chores like video editing—something the video’s reviewer found especially useful given his one-man operation.
Beyond solo work, the magic happens when multiple Grok agents collaborate. They communicate seamlessly, sharing data and progress without you needing to copy-paste or manually update context. For example, one agent handling content repurposing can sync with another managing emails, boosting productivity across your entire workflow.
Routines, Plugins, and Mobile Control
Grokbot supports routine automation (called “routines”) much like cron jobs, letting you schedule regular tasks. The smart assistant even suggests new routines based on agent activities, automating much of the setup for you.
Supporting this, an early plugins marketplace connects Grokbot to other apps, pulling in external context effortlessly. And, for those on the move, the mobile app mirrors desktop functionality with a sleek, clean interface allowing full remote access to agent computers.
Getting Started with Grokbot
Beginners can jump in using the brain dump method—feed the AI your background and needs, then ask what it can do. Grokbot responds with tailored task suggestions, integrations, and routine ideas, so you never run out of ways to put your new AI assistants to work.
How Does Grokbot Measure Up to Hermes and OpenClaw?
Unlike Hermes and OpenClaw, Grokbot works smoothly out of the box with minimal setup. For users seeking an immediate, stable productivity boost without deep technical tinkering, Grokbot is tough to beat.
However, where Grokbot prioritises readiness and ease, Hermes and OpenClaw offer full customisability as open-source platforms. If you need to tailor AI agents down to the finest detail—changing models, interfaces, or adding custom code—those platforms remain unmatched.
For most people, though, Grokbot’s ready-to-go fleet of cloud-based agents will deliver precisely what’s needed: powerful automation with less fuss. And with the beta rolling out more widely, it’s worth testing to see if it fits into your daily flow.
SpaceXAI’s Grokbot pushes the AI agent concept forward by combining multi-agent teamwork, cloud computing, and easy teaching tools. Whether it replaces established options depends on your priorities, but it’s undeniably a bold new approach that’s already turning heads.
