Grok Bot: a practical decision dossier

Before you start

• Check current account access, plan and task requirements.

When to consider it

Consider it for ongoing hosted tasks if the shared workspace model and usage allowance fit your requirements.

Important boundary

Separate bot conversations do not establish isolated files or logins. Additional usage can change the budget.

Questions before committing

1. Which files and browser state are shared between your bots?
2. Is additional usage enabled, and can you enforce a spending ceiling?

A useful acceptance task

Give the candidate one read-only task with fixed input, a clear expected output and an explicit stop condition. Save the input, returned evidence, elapsed time and any human intervention. Repeat after a new session; assess observed behavior, not a polished demo.

Evidence and limits

Official documentation checked
