| Primary surface | Built for Slack and Microsoft Teams. The request, context, approval, result, and follow-up stay in the team chat. Edge | xAI documents two surfaces: Grok for Slack handles chat, search, memory, and workspace actions, while the multi-Bot cloud-computer system lives in its macOS, Windows, and iOS apps. Tradeoff |
| Execution model | One managed teammate with 3,000+ Pipedream-powered integrations, API-first actions, and browser fallback when a tool has no clean integration. Tie | Multiple always-on Bots share a cloud computer and can drive websites even when there is no clean API or MCP. Tie |
| Team collaboration | Shared channels, private chats, shared workspace memory, and one whole-team plan make adoption visible and immediate. Edge | Grok works in Slack and Grok Bot has a team plan, but xAI documents the Slack assistant and multi-Bot routines as separate experiences. Tradeoff |
| Approvals | Mutating connected-tool actions ask for approval by default in Slack or Microsoft Teams, with workspace controls to change that behavior. Tie | Grok for Slack uses confirmation prompts for sensitive workspace actions. Grok Bots also return when approval is needed and can leave review lists before customer-facing work is sent. Tie |
| Memory and routines | Shared workspace memory captures team vocabulary, formats, customers, and recurring operating patterns. Tie | Bots remember conversations, learn preferences, watch a workflow once, save it as a routine, and learn from one another. Tie |
| Pricing and access | $100 in free credits, then $50 per month for a shared team plan with 20,000 monthly credits. No per-seat fee. Edge | Early beta is bundled with Cursor Ultra at $200 per month, SuperGrok Heavy at $300 per month, or Cursor Premium Teams at $120 per seat per month. Weekly usage is included and additional usage can be billed by token. Enterprise access is waitlisted. Tradeoff |
