Cursor
Maker of Grok Bot, AI teammates that sign in to your tools and finish work for you, plus the Cursor coding agent. Plans from $8 a month.
From $8/mo Free tier
Bottom line
Cursor, now part of SpaceX, makes Grok Bot: AI teammates with their own cloud computer that sign in to your tools, learn routines you show them once and keep working 24/7. It also makes the Cursor coding agent. Grok Bot comes with the Premium plan at $30 a month, shared with Grok and Cursor; a $8 Plus plan and a free plan exist but do not include Grok Bot.
Stands out for: Grok Bot works inside the tools recruiters already use, including ones with no integration, because it signs in and clicks through them like a person. You can teach it a workflow by doing it once, and its marketplace already has bots for outbound, talent scouting and account work.
Watch out for: Grok Bot is not on the Free or $8 Plus plans, so the real starting price for it is $30 a month, and heavy use costs more. The subscription is bundled with X and Grok, so most of the plan's other perks are for coding or social posting rather than recruiting. Desktop app is macOS and Windows, mobile is iOS only.
Overview
Cursor started as an AI code editor made by Anysphere and became one of the most used coding tools, trusted by more than half of the Fortune 500. It joined SpaceX in August 2026, and its subscription is now shared with Grok and X.
Its newest product is Grok Bot, a team of AI teammates. Each Bot has access to a persistent cloud computer, signs in to your apps and websites once, and uses them the way you would, including tools that are hard to navigate or have no integration. You message Bots from the desktop app or iPhone, and they come back with finished work or ask for approval on sensitive steps.
Bots learn by watching: show one a workflow once and it saves it as a routine to run again on its own or on a schedule. Several Bots can share a thread and pass work between themselves, and they keep memory of accounts, people and preferences. The Grok Bot marketplace includes ready-made bots for sales outbound, talent scouting and account health.
The Cursor coding agent plans, writes, tests and ships software from the desktop app, terminal, Slack and GitHub, with cloud agents that work in parallel for hours. Grok Bot is included from the $30 Premium plan up, along with Cursor, Grok Chat, image and video generation and Grok API access.

- Teams that need a recruiting-specific product with ATS sync out of the box
