Point a computer-using bot at any repo
A commenter says Grok Bot can use a computer and browser and be told to work on any given repo, unlike a repo-specific cloud agent.
What they did
In the thread, commenters describe Grok Bot as a general computer-using agent rather than a repo-tied cloud coder. They say you can point it at any repo because it can take over the whole machine, use the browser, click around, and edit files anywhere, while a person still gives the instruction about what repo or task to work on.
How it went
The reported upside was less friction and faster startup than Cursor cloud agents for some uses. But this is anecdotal comparison in comments only, with no concrete project result or performance numbers, and one commenter says Grok Bot is more expensive.
Worth knowing
One commenter’s practical catch was that Grok Bot felt faster and easier, but cost more, while Cursor allowed lower-level control through repo files like AGENTS.md and scripts.
