What Pebs is

Pebs is a personal AI agent by Nox. It works in its own Cloud Browser, runs several tasks at once, and handles long-running work. Miso and Orbit are the first two Pebs. Coming to Nox on all platforms November 1, 2026.

Pebs runs inside the Nox account on the web and is included with the Nox MAX and NOX 50 plans. Read more on What is Pebs and How Pebs works.

What Grok Bot is

x.ai describes Grok Bot as "your team of always-on agents": AI teammates with names, jobs and context that compounds over time. Each Bot works on a persistent cloud computer with a browser, filesystem and terminal, takes on multi-step work across apps and websites, keeps you updated in the conversation, and comes back when something needs your approval.

Grok Bot launched in beta on August 11, 2026. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, and is included with SuperGrok, Cursor Pro and Cursor Teams plans; individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus or SuperGrok Heavy subscriptions can be linked.

Main differences

  • Shape: Grok Bot is a team of persistent teammates with their own computers. Pebs is one personal agent at a time, with a fresh browser per task.
  • Audience: Grok Bot is positioned around work and teams, with terminal access and Cursor plans. Pebs is positioned around personal errands and research inside Nox.
  • Where it lives: Grok Bot is a native app on five platforms. Pebs runs inside the Nox web app.
  • Character: Pebs ships designed characters, Miso and Orbit. Bots are named teammates you configure.
  • Secrets: Pebs routes sign-ins, codes and card details through secure cards that bypass the model. x.ai's docs describe approvals and Auto Review.

Who each may be better for

Pebs may fit better if

  • You want a personal agent for everyday research and errands, not a team of workers.
  • You use Nox and want its safety system on strictest.
  • You prefer an isolated browser per task over a persistent machine with a terminal.

Grok Bot may fit better if

  • You want several always-on teammates working in parallel.
  • You need a terminal and filesystem, or you already pay for SuperGrok or Cursor.
  • You want native desktop and mobile apps.
