COMING FROM GROK BOT?
The little team
you wanted to keep.
Grok Bot showed what this could be: named teammates you can talk to, doing real work in the background. We're building on that feeling, with different boundaries underneath.
An honest comparison needs an honest starting point. Proxima is still being built. Its column describes planned behaviour, not features available today. Grok Bot details were reviewed on 7 November 2026 and may change. Where a feature is not documented, we say so.

| What matters | On Proxima Planned | Grok Bot Documented or reported |
|---|---|---|
| The computer | A separate computer and logins for each teammate. | One cloud computer per account. Bots share files, browser sessions and logins. [1] |
| The share | A visible share per teammate, rebalanced by you. Pause at the boundary. | Weekly usage on the account. On-demand usage can be enabled with a monthly limit. [2] |
| The model | Included to start. Your own model keys planned for launch, subscriptions later. | No per-Bot model picker confirmed in the documentation reviewed. This does not mean only one model is used. [2] |
| Deleting a teammate | Destroy its computer, memory, credentials and identities. | Access and files on the shared computer need separate clean-up and authorisation revocation. [1] |
| Taking it with you | Export and self-hosting are commitments for a later release. | A hosted service. We found no documented self-hosting option in the pages reviewed. [2] |
| Changing the deal | 60 days’ notice on price changes. No mid-month reduction to an allocated share. | Users reported a mid-cycle limit reduction in early November 2026. The cost concern was acknowledged publicly. [3] |

Bring the team you know.
A Grok Bot importer is planned for launch. Keep the names and jobs that worked for you. Give each one a space of its own.
