Unified Plans: Cursor coding eats the shared pool, some bots won't load
Unified Plans SpaceXSI plans that bundle Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium, with one shared pool of usage for all of them. put Grok, Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you., Cursor and X Premium on one shared Usage pool The amount of work your plan allows in a period. Every product on a unified plan takes from the same pool.. Over 31 Oct, users on X, r/GrokBot and r/grok compared what uses it up. These are community reports, not official numbers. The common view: chatting with bots is light, and coding in Cursor is heavy. Some users also say their bots stopped loading after they linked accounts that use different emails.
What we learned
Texas Twins Dad (@Texas_Twins_Dad) says on the Super plan, regular chat barely uses anything, simple images and videos are light, Grok Imagine videos take more, and Cursor coding burns the most.
u/thezackplauche on r/grok warns heavy users not to swap SuperGrok for X Premium. They say they lost the separate Grok and Grok Bot pool, and making images then used up their bot time.
u/mashome3333 gets "Couldn't load your Bots" on Windows and Android since the update. Their Cursor and SuperGrok plans use different emails. Reinstalling did not help, and their ticket went to human support on 27 Oct.
The @grok account's automated reply for out-of-sync plans: email support from your Grok Bot account email, list both account emails, and add screenshots, your platform and app version, and what you tried.
Why it matters: Before you switch or upgrade, check which jobs use your pool, especially if you code a lot in Cursor. If your Cursor and Grok accounts use different emails, expect linking trouble and send support both emails.

Use cases & community
A Philippines builder, a kitchen dashboard and an 8-bit bot team
Alwin Reyes (@alwinrys) says he is building a Meta app from scratch with Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you., with no coding background. He hopes it will help small businesses in the Philippines that run their ads on Meta. On r/GrokBot, other users shared a family calendar on an old iPad, a team of bots drawn as an 8-bit game, and a shared project board for many bots. These are community claims.
Key learnings
u/The_Pikl put a dashboard on an old iPad on the kitchen counter. Grok Bot reads their email and calendar and shows family notices, such as boil-water warnings, parcels and school events.
u/Calm-Suggestion-4677 asked their chief of staff bot to "create an interactive 8-bit video game representation of our workflow". They say it used 1-2% of their weekly usage.
u/CryptBay shared Dev Project Coordinator, a free open-source MCP server A small program that gives an AI assistant a new tool, such as reading a shared project board, using a common standard. (Apache 2.0). It gives a team of bots one project board saved on your own computer. You add it to each bot by hand.
u/Bed-After says Grok Bot, the free Godot A free, open-source engine for making 2D and 3D games. game engine and ready-made asset packs make simple games easy to build.
Why it matters: These are small, real jobs you can copy. The Philippines example is a useful Southeast Asia case: a non-coder building a tool for local small businesses.

Tips & how-to
A Cursor staffer's prompt finds the work your bot can take over
Eric Zakariasson (@ericzakariasson) of Cursor, which is part of SpaceXSI, posted a prompt that asks Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. to look through your last two weeks of emails, meetings, Slack messages and docs, and list the tasks you did more than once. Later that morning, Elon Musk told people to "think of Grok Bot as a work colleague".
Key learnings
For each repeated task, the prompt asks for a one-line description, how often you did it, how long it takes, and whether the bot could do it and what access it would need.
It ends by asking for the top 3 tasks to automate first, ranked by time saved, with a routine or a dedicated bot for each.
The bot can only see what it is connected to. Connect email, calendar and Slack first, or tell it what is missing.
Elon Musk was quoting gaut (@0xgaut), who says Grok Bot feels like talking to a coworker: "Shorter sentences, less BS and fluff." Musk's post has more than 5,500 likes.
Why it matters: This is a quick way to pick your first routine. Read the list before you give the bot any new access, and start with the task that saves the most time.

Services slowed for 43 minutes; some Grok replies turned to gibberish
Cursor's status feed logged "multiple services degraded" from 2:04pm to 2:47pm MYT on 31 Oct. It was marked minor and is resolved. That night, two r/grok users posted Grok chat replies made of random words. On r/GrokBot, a user who moved to a unified plan says their bots keep reporting computer resets and losing progress.
Key learnings
The incident note came from Cursor's official status and was posted by the incident-feed account on r/GrokBot. It did not say which services were hit.
u/dairycheez and u/Nervous_Reality800 posted word-salad replies to simple messages like "Hello" at about 11:15pm MYT on 31 Oct. There is no official note on this yet.
u/xtrememutt says their bots restored from a backup on a private Hindsight memory server and reread the chat history to carry on.
u/Gulags69 says Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. will not make images larger than 720p for their webnovel art.
Why it matters: Save long projects outside the bot's computer, in files, a repo or notes, so a reset doesn't wipe the work. If replies turn to nonsense, start a new chat and check the Status page The official page that shows whether Grok Bot and related services are working normally..

Safety & scams
Hype check: '60+ bots', a trading seagull and a 'Binance hack' teardown
A post by @akarixbt with 156 likes calls an unnamed speaker a "SpaceXAI lead engineer" who runs 60+ bots. It says his bots found 35 apartments in Singapore, booked viewings and negotiated a lease. The 27-minute talk video is real, but the job title and the results are not confirmed. Other viral posts promise trading profits from Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you..
Key learnings
The @akarixbt post does not name the speaker and points readers to a guide. Treat the numbers as claims until someone checkable stands behind them.
Gull (@0xGull) shows a Memecoin A crypto token with no real business behind it, often used in pump-and-dump schemes. bot drawn as a seagull and claims about RM6,200 (US$1,500) became RM24,700 (US$6,020) in 25 seconds. No real trading records are shown.
@yoamnycruz claims Grok Bot reverse-engineered the Binance and Polymarket hacks from one prompt. There is no proof.
u/ruqaiah on r/GrokBot says Instagram restricted them after their bot sent 2-3 outreach messages. Apps can flag automated messages, so keep bots to low-volume replies.
Why it matters: Bot-team talks can give you ideas, but they are not proof. Tell community members and clients not to buy bots, tokens or courses because of these posts.
