([x.ai](https://x.ai/news/introducing-grok-bot?utm_source=openai))\n\nSpaceXAI widened access to Grok Bot on August 21st, bringing its cloud-computer agent to SuperGrok Plus, Cursor Pro+, and all Cursor Teams subscribers. Every other user can now try the product through a limited-usage free trial, the [Grok Bot account said in a post on X](https://x.com/bot/status/2090852881373311369). ([x.com](https://x.com/bot/status/2090852881373311369))\n\n[https://x.com/bot/status/2090852881373311369](https://x.com/bot/status/2090852881373311369)\n\nThe expansion came 10 days after SpaceXAI [introduced Grok Bot](https://x.ai/news/introducing-grok-bot) in beta for customers on SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium. The original release placed the product behind the companies' most expensive individual plans and Cursor's higher-usage team seat. The August 21st change moves Grok Bot down the pricing ladder before the initial beta is two weeks old. ([x.ai](https://x.ai/news/introducing-grok-bot?utm_source=openai))\n\nThat ladder is materially lower now. [SuperGrok Plus](https://x.ai/pricing) costs $100 a month, while Cursor's [Pro Plus plan](https://cursor.com/docs/models-and-pricing) costs $60 a month. Cursor Teams Standard costs $40 per user per month on monthly billing, compared with $120 for Premium, according to Cursor's June pricing announcement. Grok Bot's post said all Cursor Teams subscribers now have access, extending eligibility to the Standard seat. ([x.ai](https://x.ai/pricing?utm_source=openai))\n\n### A general work agent distributed through Cursor\n\n[Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot) is built around persistent agents that operate their own cloud computer. Users can assign work through a chat interface, let multiple Bots run in parallel, and create routines that continue after the user's laptop is closed. SpaceXAI lists jobs including sales research, recruiting, expense processing, customer support, reporting, and bug reproduction, pushing the product beyond Cursor's original market in software development. ([x.ai](https://x.ai/bot?utm_source=openai))\n\nThe choice of subscription channels shows how SpaceXAI intends to distribute that broader product. Cursor supplies an existing base of developers and technical teams accustomed to delegating work to coding agents. SuperGrok supplies consumers already paying for higher Grok limits. Grok Bot gives both groups a reason to move from individual prompts toward longer-running work that consumes recurring compute.\n\nThe access expansion also followed Cursor's August 14th announcement that it had [completed its acquisition by SpaceX](https://cursor.com/blog/joining-spacex). Cursor said the transaction grew from an April partnership with SpaceXAI around model training and would give it access to SpaceX's GPU capacity. Grok Bot now sits across the combined companies' subscription menus, turning the acquisition into a distribution channel as well as a compute arrangement. ([cursor.com](https://cursor.com/blog/joining-spacex?utm_source=openai))\n\n### The free trial is metered by work, not messages\n\nSpaceXAI described the new trial only as offering \"limited usage.\" Cursor's [Grok Bot billing guide](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/plans) provides the more useful constraint: the trial is a usage credit with a seven-day window. Consumption depends on agent steps and tokens, so one long assignment can use most or all of the credit. That makes the trial closer to a compute sampler than a week of unrestricted access. ([cursor.com](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/plans?utm_source=openai))\n\nPaid Grok Bot usage also resets weekly, according to Cursor's guide, with additional work charged through shared on-demand spending when that setting is enabled. The product's economics therefore depend on the size and duration of the jobs users delegate, even when access is bundled into an existing subscription. ([cursor.com](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/plans?utm_source=openai))\n\n### Persistent agents bring persistent permissions\n\nGrok Bot's cloud-computer design gives the agent access to browser sessions, files, connected tools, and a terminal. SpaceXAI's documentation says every Bot belonging to one user shares the same managed Linux virtual machine. Files and signed-in sessions available to one Bot are consequently available to the user's other Bots, even though each can operate through a separate screen. ([docs.x.ai](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/teams-and-enterprises?utm_source=openai))\n\nSpaceXAI provides approval controls for actions such as sending messages, publishing content, making purchases, deleting data, or changing production systems. Local-computer execution is separate from cloud execution and defaults to asking the user for approval each time. The documentation still advises customers to use narrow permissions and warns that separate Bots should not be treated as separate security boundaries. ([docs.x.ai](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/approvals-security-and-privacy?utm_source=openai))\n\nThat boundary becomes more consequential as access moves from early adopters on $200-and-up plans to standard team seats and free users. SpaceXAI is betting that a short trial will persuade users to hand a persistent agent real work. The test is whether those users see enough completed output before the metered credit disappears - and whether they are comfortable granting the access required to produce it.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/grok-bot-opens-to-60-cursor-pro-and-a-limited-free-trial", "canonical_source": "https://runtimewire.com/article/grok-bot-cursor-pro-plus-free-trial-expansion", "published_at": "2026-08-21 18:58:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-21 19:15:33.636547+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["SpaceXAI", "Grok Bot", "Cursor", "SuperGrok Plus", "Cursor Pro+", "Cursor Teams", "Cursor Teams Standard", "Cursor Teams Premium"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/grok-bot-opens-to-60-cursor-pro-and-a-limited-free-trial", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/grok-bot-opens-to-60-cursor-pro-and-a-limited-free-trial.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/grok-bot-opens-to-60-cursor-pro-and-a-limited-free-trial.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/grok-bot-opens-to-60-cursor-pro-and-a-limited-free-trial.jsonld"}}
