New: a desktop with a real web browser + Linux, free AI

An AI agent with its own
real Linux computer

Tell GrokBot what you need. GrokBot gets its own desktop inside this tab: a web browser that shows real websites, a real Linux terminal and a files window. Watch it browse, click links, write files and run Python for you. It's free, needs no account or API key, and works on a Chromebook.

Real recordings

Watch GrokBot actually do things

These are real, unedited recordings of GrokBot using its Linux computer, which runs inside the browser.

What it can do

A real computer, a real agent

⌨️

Runs real commands

Type a request and GrokBot types the commands into a visible terminal: mkdir, grep, find, df. You see the real output.

📝

Creates & edits files

Notes, lists, reports and scripts are saved to the Linux disk and opened in the text editor, so you can watch them appear.

🧠

Researches the web

It searches, reads the top pages and answers with sources. The search also opens in the real desktop browser.

🐍

Writes & runs code

Python 3 is built in. GrokBot can write a script, run it, read the error, fix it and run it again.

🪟

Controls apps

It can open the browser, file manager, editor, calculator or system monitor, and it can focus, close and type into windows.

🖐

You can take over

Click “Take control” to use the desktop yourself with your own mouse and keyboard, then hand it back.

🔑

Free brain, no key

GrokBot uses a pool of free, open AI models (Qwen, Llama, Mistral) and switches between them automatically. You don't need an account, a key or a download.

🧭

Doesn't quit early

A built-in self-check makes sure every part of your request is done before it answers. It also blocks repeated actions.

⚡

Instant skills

Simple requests like the weather, opening apps, adding tasks or math are handled instantly without waiting for the AI.

How it works

Think → act → observe, until it's done

1

Think

The AI reads your request and what it has seen so far, then picks one tool.

2

Act

The action runs on the Linux computer inside your browser (an x86 PC emulated with WebAssembly).

3

Observe

The real output goes back to the AI, and it decides the next step.

FAQ

Questions

Is the Linux computer really real?

Yes. It's a real Linux kernel with BusyBox, running on an x86 PC that is emulated in WebAssembly (v86) inside your tab. Commands really run, and you can type in the terminal yourself. Around it is a desktop with windows you can drag: a web browser, the terminal and a files window.

Do I need an API key or a strong computer?

No. The AI runs on free cloud models, and the Linux computer needs about 256 MB of memory, so a Chromebook is fine. If you have one, you can add an xAI Grok key, use Ollama, or run a model on your own GPU (WebGPU) in ⚙ settings.

How fast is it?

Linux boots in about 10 seconds. A typical task takes 2–4 steps and about 5–15 seconds. The free models have rate limits, so on very long tasks GrokBot may wait a few seconds for a free slot.

Where are my files?

Everything stays in your browser. Files on the GrokBot computer are saved in your browser's storage and come back when you return. "Reset computer" erases them.

Can GrokBot's computer use the internet?

Yes, through the GrokBot Browser window. It shows real websites (rendered by a free service, with the sites' scripts removed for safety), and GrokBot can open pages, click links and read them. The Linux shell itself is offline.

Is it open source?

Yes, it's built on open-source projects: v86, Linux, BusyBox, xterm.js and Pyodide. A self-hosted version with a full graphical Debian desktop also exists (./start.sh).

Give GrokBot a task.

It has a computer, and it's ready to use it.
