AI Agent Teams vs Grok Bot
Build an AI team you can change as fast as your plans.
Your developer, growth agent and operations agent need different setups. AI Agent Teams gives each its own persistent environment, a choice of Hermes or OpenClaw, and supported model options. Manage the team together and include compatible external-agent reports in your dashboards. Grok already offers coordinated Bots; compare how much control you want over each worker’s setup.

AI Agent Teams
Compatible outside agents can send activity to your dashboards without moving their runtime.
Our recommendation for this jobUse coordinated Bots within your existing eligible plan
Grok Bot
Grok offers parallel Bots, handoffs and shared Team Bots; check your account’s allowance.
Start from a prompt or Starter Kit. Review the setup and costs before launching.
Already using another AI agent?
Keep what works. Bring the results together.
Already using Muse, Grok Bot, OpenAI dot or Codex? You can keep using them alongside AI Agent Teams. Where your setup supports the reporting connection, send activity and results into the same dashboards as your hosted workers. See more of the operation in one place and investigate where work gets stuck.
An active plan and a compatible agent that can use the reporting API or supported MCP tools are required. Connect it and choose what it reports; results do not appear automatically. External reporting does not move or control the agent, or add its chat and desktop to Chat Wall. Source
An operating team for fast-moving founders
Start simply. Keep the freedom to go further.
Simple to start. Room to go deeper.
Describe a job or start from a Starter Kit. Connect the accounts it needs and launch. When a job needs more, open the native controls to adjust instructions, tools, skills, schedules, files or supported settings.
Reuse a working setup through a clean clone. Review its seed files and reconnect accounts; the original worker’s private history and sessions are not copied. You do not need to configure every option before starting.
SourceHermes and OpenClaw. On the same team.
Choose the agent software, often called a harness, that fits each role. Run Hermes and OpenClaw workers at the same time, with different supported models, tools and skills. You do not have to choose one setup for your whole startup.
A harness is the software that lets an AI plan, use tools and keep working. Each worker keeps its native interface and settings. Available integrations depend on its harness and version.
SourceA working environment for every worker
Give your developer, growth agent and operations agent their own persistent files, memory and browser context. Connect the accounts each needs, then let them coordinate through shared tasks, files and messages.
These are individual working environments, not dedicated physical machines or private client portals. Agents need the right access and must save useful context to retain it.
SourceHosted and external agents, one reporting view
Keep useful agents where they already run. Compatible external agents can send activity into dashboards alongside your hosted agents, helping you compare reported work and investigate bottlenecks across the operation.
External reporting requires a supported connection and useful activity records. It does not host, wake or remotely control the outside agent, or add its chat and desktop to Chat Wall.
SourceSee where the work is waiting
Follow up to eight conversations in Chat Wall. Use shared tasks and reported activity to see who owns the next step, inspect a handoff and investigate a blocker before it holds up the rest of the team.
Dashboards show recorded activity. Missing reports need investigation; they do not prove that an agent did no work. Custom dashboards use the metrics you configure.
SourceA stable IP for your social-media agent
Give an agent an optional static residential IP in an available country. Pair a consistent network address with its saved browser profile for ongoing work in your own social accounts.
Private static and fully dedicated static options are available, alongside rotating residential routing. A static address stays assigned until changed or released. Country inventory varies; routing does not guarantee that a social network will accept an account or session.

AI Agent Teams
An AI workforce you can shape as your startup growsStart from a prompt or Starter Kit. Run Hermes and OpenClaw together, choose models per role, and manage hosted work alongside compatible external-agent reports.
Consider it when: Fast-moving founders and small startups that want ongoing work ownership, flexible worker setups and deeper controls available when they need to optimize.
Plan for: Review the prepared instructions and connect your accounts. Budget hosting, model usage and any optional residential IPs separately.

Grok Bot
Named AI coworkers and shared Team BotsPersistent Bots that coordinate work, plus Team Bots that share role knowledge with human teammates through the app and Slack.
Consider it when: Cursor users and teams that want to teach workflows to Bots and put a shared AI coworker into existing collaboration tools.
Plan for: Check the plan allowance and on-demand spending settings. Personal Bots share an account computer, so shared files and logins require deliberate access choices.

How to choose between AI Agent Teams and Grok Bot
Both coordinate workers. Compare the working environments.
Grok Bot already supports parallel Bots and handoffs. Its personal Bots share an account computer, including browser sessions, files and command-line credentials. Shared Team Bots also support maintained expertise with private conversations for human teammates. These are meaningful capabilities, not just a chat window.
Agent Teams gives workers their own persistent working environments and connects them through shared tasks, files and messages. Your developer and growth agent can have different browser contexts, tools and supported models. For a startup assembling its own operating team, that separation and choice make the worker setup a useful part of the buying decision.
Source 1Source 2Source 3Source 4Use different harnesses now; keep room to change later
Run Hermes and OpenClaw agents at the same time in Agent Teams. A harness is the software that plans work, calls tools and manages the agent’s native context. Pick the supported harness and model for each responsibility instead of choosing one combination for the whole business.
When a workflow needs a new tool, skill or schedule, you can use the worker’s native controls. A social role can also keep its browser profile and use an optional static residential IP in an available country. Grok documents cloud browser work; equivalent user-selectable residential routing is not verified in the reviewed sources. Model and tool compatibility still depend on the chosen harness.
Source 1Source 2Source 3See the handoffs across the operation you actually have
Grok Team Bots is useful when colleagues need shared expertise with private conversations. Its routines belong to their creator and can deliver to a shared destination. For a founder, the next question is how to see work across the different agents and systems already used by the business.
Agent Teams combines hosted-agent conversations, shared tasks and activity dashboards. Compatible external agents can contribute reports without moving their runtime. Use the underlying records to investigate where a handoff is waiting or a worker needs help. External reporting does not provide hosted chat, desktop access or control of that outside agent.
Source 1Source 2Source 3Keep the power; reduce the work of running it yourself
An eligible Grok subscription may already give you useful included capacity. Check its weekly allowance and on-demand spending settings. If that setup covers your work, it is a practical starting point. Agent Teams is our recommendation when separate environments, mixed harnesses and direct worker configuration matter to how you run the startup.
Start from a prompt or Starter Kit, then use native settings only when a job needs more. Agent Teams brings managed hosting, saved state, team coordination, desktop access and recovery into one platform. With a standalone Hermes or OpenClaw installation, you would arrange the surrounding hosting and management yourself. Hosting and model usage are separate costs; use the planner to budget your actual team.

Frequently asked questions
Does Grok Bot already support multiple agents?
Your developer, growth agent and operations agent need different setups. AI Agent Teams gives each its own persistent environment, a choice of Hermes or OpenClaw, and supported model options. Manage the team together and include compatible external-agent reports in your dashboards. Grok already offers coordinated Bots; compare how much control you want over each worker’s setup.
Can I bring agents I already run into Agent Teams?
Compatible external agents can send selected activity into your dashboards through a scoped reporting connection. An active plan and HTTP reporting support are required. This does not host the outside agent or add its conversations to Chat Wall.
Does a Grok Team Bot run one schedule for the whole team?
Its routines are personal to the creator and run as that person. A routine can post results somewhere shared, such as a Slack channel.
Is Grok Bot included in my existing subscription?
Eligible paid Cursor plans and qualifying linked individual SuperGrok or X Premium+ accounts include a weekly allowance. Check the eligibility and on-demand settings for your account; included usage is limited and linked grants do not add together.
Can I run Hermes and OpenClaw at the same time?
Yes. Different hosted workers can use different supported harnesses in the same team. A harness is the software that lets the AI plan and use tools. Choose models and settings per worker; integrations depend on its harness and version.
Can my dashboards include agents running elsewhere?
Yes. Compatible external agents can send selected activity through a scoped reporting connection alongside hosted-agent reports. Use those records to compare work and investigate bottlenecks. The connection does not host, wake or control the external agent, or add its chat and desktop to Chat Wall.
Do I need to configure everything before I start?
No. Begin with a prompt or Starter Kit, review its instructions and connect the accounts it needs. You can open native instructions, tools, skills, schedules and supported settings when you need to change or optimize a worker. Hosting, saved state and team management are provided around the agent.
Can I keep using Muse, Grok Bot, dot or Codex alongside Agent Teams?
Yes. Keep using the tools that work for you. Where your setup supports the reporting API or scoped MCP tools, connect it to send selected activity and results into the same dashboards as hosted workers. An active Agent Teams plan and reporting setup are required. This is compatible external reporting, not an automatic integration with every account or control of the outside agent.
Your next step
Build the team your ambition needs.
Start with one responsibility. Add workers, mix harnesses and adjust the setup as you grow. Describe the job, connect your accounts and review the costs; deeper controls are there when you need them.
