Grok Bot wants to take work off your plate, not just answer your queries
Grok Bot, SpaceXAI and Cursor's new AI agent app, signs into your existing tools to complete real tasks on its own, only checking in when approval is needed.

SpaceXAI and Cursor's new Grok Bot app treats AI as a working teammate.
Grok Bot
SpaceXAI and Cursor just released Grok Bot. It’s built around AI agents called Bots or “teammates,” if you will.
Designed to complete real work and only check in with you when something is in the final phase and needs your approval, Grok Bot is currently available in beta on Mac, iOS, Windows, and Linux. An Android version, as well as an enterprise version, are coming soon.
Introducing Grok Bot, now in early beta.

So what does Grok Bot actually do?
The pitch is quite simple. You can create different Bots and give them different tasks, as you would otherwise delegate to a teammate. Then, they take care of the entire project from start to finish.
Suppose you have four different streams of tasks at the start of a day, you can assign them to four different Bots inside the app or the web version. Each Bot runs on its own dedicated computer (a dedicated virtual workspace) and can log into whatever apps and services you already rely on (such as email, messaging, project management software, etc).
It works across your inbox and other connected tools rather than staying boxed inside a single chat window like regular AI chatbots, only surfacing to check in with you when it needs a decision or approval.
You can also ask a Bot to follow along as you’re completing a task on the screen, save it as a routine, and then perform it on its own, or put multiple Bots in the same workflow and ask them to collaborate on a task. SpaceXAI says it remembers past conversations (or has a memory) and picks up your preferences or working style over time.
People are already using Grok Bot to do jobs like negotiate with vendors in their voice, manage support for their online store, and keep their CRM constantly up to date.

Early examples shared by the Grok Bot team include negotiating directly with vendors using your own voice, handling customer support for an online store, and keeping a CRM updated automatically without anyone manually entering data.
For now, access is limited to SuperGrok Heavy ($300 per month), Cursor Ultra ($200 a month), and Cursor Teams Premium ($120 per seat per month) subscribers. In short, this isn’t reaching a general audience just yet.
Grok isn’t the only one to have launched something like that. We already have ChatGPT Agent, Claude Cowork, and Perplexity Computer all racing toward the same service: agentic outsourcing.

MelGeek MADE84 Ultra Review: Getting addicted to this magnetic keyboard was only a matter of time
I tried my first Hall Effect keyboard, and now my brown switches are just gathering dust
Mechanical keyboards are one of those rabbit holes I’ve always been happy to fall into. I spend most of my day writing, then somehow end up using the same keyboard for several more hours once I start gaming. Naturally, how a keyboard responds and sounds are important to me. But more often than not, I found myself relying on this dusty old mechanical keyboard with brown switches. Something about the brown switches and construction always made it feel natural to me. All of this changed after I tried the MelGeek MADE84 Ultra V2 for a review.
This keyboard instantly caught my attention with its transparent keycaps, massive light bar, aluminum body, and lighting running around almost every side, which immediately gives it away as a gaming keyboard. It's not being subtle about it at all. After about two weeks of using it for work and games, the styling is just one of the things it has going for it.
AI agents are already breaking the rules in cyber tests. OpenAI’s answer is a more capable one
GPT-5.6-Cyber trades some safeguards for stronger defensive capabilities, but access is tightly restricted
OpenAI has built a cybersecurity model specifically for advanced requests that its standard models often refuse. GPT-5.6-Cyber is available through the restricted Daybreak Red program and is meant for work such as exploit development and advanced security research.
The capability jump is hard to miss. OpenAI says GPT-5.6-Cyber completes 95% of requests in its internal Advanced Cybersecurity Completion Rate evaluation. Regular GPT-5.6 Sol completed just 1.5%. That leap comes after several cyber evaluations showed AI agents wandering beyond the boundaries researchers had set for them.
Meta’s new AI model runs entirely offline, but your GPU needs to keep up
Meta drops a free 30 billion parameter AI model that lives entirely on your desktop.
Meta has a new AI model out, and for once, the biggest headline isn't about capability; it's about freedom. Muse Glimmer, sitting around 30 billion parameters, ships with an Apache 2.0 license, meaning the weights on Hugging Face are yours to download, modify, and build on top of, no permission needed. You can simply run it on a graphics card on your local machine, no server farm or online connectivity required.
Meta's Superintelligence Lab took its larger Muse Spark and essentially had it teach a smaller, leaner version to think as it does. Muse Glimmer accepts both text and image inputs, though it only answers in text. It supports over 100 languages, remembers conversations stretching past 131,000 tokens, and its knowledge stops at January 4, 2026.
