Grok Bot and Muse are great. We built an open-source version and called it Errand. Hand it a task, close the laptop, come back in the morning.

Why build this? We wanted something useful for ourselves first. It's also a reference app for Runta, the execution layer it runs on. Blog post on why we built it:

Errand took one developer about a week to build. An agent product like this usually means building a pile of infrastructure first: persistent machines, file storage, tracing, credential handling, checkpoints, token budgets. None of it had to be built for Errand. Runta already had it, and Errand just runs on top. Not having to build the infrastructure into the app means you get to spend your time on the parts end users actually touch: integrations, workflows, and how the whole thing feels to use.

Errand is early. Feel free to fork it or send a PR in so we can build together.

On the Runta team here—we built and open-sourced Errand in just one week on Runta’s agent infrastructure. You can use the same infra to build your own personal assistant just as quickly.

One developer, one week, a full AI teammate with its own computer. That's what a real execution layer makes possible. Check out Errand!

Thanks @heypeterjames, appreciate you being with us early. Hope Runta carries some of the weight so Mouse gets to be the product it should be.

Nice, it works with subscriptions I assume? Finally something that doesnt cost $300 to even be able to use Cough cough (grok bot)

how it's different from OpenBot and Razako?

Both of them looks great, Errand has the features that build-in from Runta Infra: the tracing, credential handling, networking policy, checkpoints and token saving.

Give me a mobile app and it will replace GrokBot for me.

A nudge when the task finishes, success or fail, would make the laptop-closed pitch land even harder 🌙

@martin_casado @Melete_AI Company memory is the right ambition. Multiplayer is hard. Following along.

having local VMs (or VMs on personal network) for agent's computers would be really great. but good work till now :) can't wait to see where it goes.

BREAKING: SpaceXAI has added a new guide called “Grok Bot 101” It explains how to create a personal AI teammate in just 10 to 15 minutes, teach it real workflows, connect apps, and build teams of specialized bots that continue working in the cloud even after you close your laptop. Here is the full guide in simple terms: • What is Grok Bot Grok Bot is an AI agent with its own persistent computer in the cloud. It has a desktop, files, terminal, browser, and apps. It can browse the web, use software, write and run code, and complete tasks just like someone using a computer. You can access the same computer from your phone or desktop. When needed, Grok Bot can hand control back to you for a CAPTCHA, 2FA, or secure login. • Creating a bot Give the bot a name, title, and detailed instructions. You can explain the workflow through chat or record yourself completing the task. Once trained, the bot can repeat that workflow whenever needed. It can also use MCP servers, plugins, skills, and connected services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Slack. • Three ways to use Grok Bot Send it a message in chat. Create schedules or triggers, such as monitoring a Slack thread or GitHub PR. Allow bots to message and activate other bots. • Permissions and safety You can write rules in normal language explaining what the bot can and cannot do. A separate review agent checks proposed actions and can allow them, block them, or ask you for approval. Allow and block lists provide additional control, while the work runs inside an isolated environment. One important detail: if you log into a website with one bot, other bots using that shared cloud computer can also access it. • Multi-bot teams You can create specialist bots for different jobs and let them work together. One bot can ask another for help, several bots can work inside a group chat, and a scheduled routine can move a task through multiple specialists until the work is finished. • Personal CRM The author created a bot that turned the 800 to 900 people he follows on X into a private Notion CRM containing public profile information. It helps him find and reconnect with people when traveling. • Arnold, the fitness bot He replaced a complicated fitness app with a Grok Bot strength-training coach named Arnold. The bot uses MCP servers, plugins, and skills while requiring less maintenance. Its behavior can be updated simply by chatting with it. • Building software Grok Bot gathers information from Slack, Notion, GitHub, documentation, and other sources. It then creates a clean prompt and sends it to a specialized Cursor cloud agent that builds the software. Grok Bot handles the planning and coordination, while the coding agent handles the actual build. • Searching company knowledge Grok Bot can search across codebases, Slack conversations, Notion pages, GitHub, and internal documents to answer product or company questions. This helps people find information faster and reduces the need to interrupt coworkers. • The biggest takeaway Instead of repeatedly building scripts or complicated apps, you can describe a workflow to Grok Bot, improve it through chat, reuse it, and let it continue working in the cloud. Grok Bot is not just another chatbot. It is a real AI teammate with a computer that can use tools, coordinate specialists, and get actual work done. The future of work is becoming incredibly exciting.
