TL;DR · Direct answer
Grok Bot is xAI's always-on agent, in beta since 11 August 2026, with its own cloud computer. xAI's consumer terms cover UK residents, so this page marks it available in the UK. Tagging @bot on X is not available for UK-based X accounts. Premium includes it. Plus does not. This page is desk-researched.

Watch out. Tagging @bot on X is not available for X accounts based in the United Kingdom. Plus does not include Grok Bot.
Grok Bot launched in beta on 11 August 2026. xAI's announcement describes always-on agents with a computer of their own in the cloud. The overview checked on 27 October 2026 says each Bot works on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem, and terminal, and that work continues while the laptop is closed.
This is not the Grok chat brief used for supplier research. That playbook stays a draft you check. This page is the agent product.
Who can open it
Two official pages, both read on 27 October 2026, describe access, and they do not use the same list.
The Grok Bot overview says Grok Bot is included with every paid individual Cursor plan and with Cursor Teams. It also says you can link an individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, or SuperGrok Heavy subscription, or sign in with a seat on a self-serve Grok Business plan.
The X Subscription pricing page says Grok Bot is included on Premium at $30 a month, Super at $100, and Ultra at $200. Plus at $8 a month does not include it. That page says list prices do not include sales tax.
At this site's planning rate of £1 = $1.33, fixed on 24 October 2026, those stickers are about £23, £75, and £150 before tax. Plus is about £6. That conversion is not a quote. Open the pricing page on the day.
The UK limit that is written down
The product is marked available in the UK because xAI's consumer terms set Europe-specific terms for residents of the United Kingdom. The docs checked the same day do not list the UK as a place the app is withheld.
Tagging @bot on X is different. Those docs say tagging is not yet available for X accounts based in the United Kingdom. A VPN does not change the country X has on the account.
What this page is not
Nobody at AgentShed has handed Grok Bot a live job. There is no timing, no failure count, and no customer quote. The comparison puts it beside Manus and Claude Cowork for a UK reader. The UK tracker is the country table. The October note is the roundup.
Is Grok Bot worth it for a sole trader?

Questions
Is Grok Bot the same as Grok chat?
No. The supplier-research playbook uses Grok chat and tells you to open every price yourself. Grok Bot is the always-on agent with its own computer. This page is that product.
Which plan includes it?
The X Subscription pricing page, checked on 27 October 2026, includes Grok Bot on Premium at $30 a month, Super at $100, and Ultra at $200. Plus at $8 does not. The Grok Bot overview also lists paid Cursor plans and a linked SuperGrok subscription. Read both pages before you pay.
Can I tag @bot from a UK X account?
xAI's docs say tagging @bot is not yet available for X accounts based in the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Norway. The app is a separate question from that tag.
