I tried using Grok Bot as a customer-support agent, an automated trading assistant, and a research tool. None of those workflows can be relied on.

The computer resets without warning about every one to two weeks. Packages I had installed, and tasks that were only halfway done, disappear together. Unlike OpenAI, there is no reusable environment you can come back to.

Sessions are also kicked after roughly more than fifty minutes.

The product is sold as a “persistent cloud computer.” In practice it is a short-term rental machine. Before deciding to switch products, leaving is the clearest protest.

Right now the only use that fits is temporary or throwaway work.
