What changes for you

Three differences that matter to an SME

01

How you pay

A seat for each person, or one job taken off the team

Grok Bot has no plan of its own. It comes with a paid Cursor plan, or with a personal SuperGrok plan linked to a Cursor account. On Cursor Teams, each person costs US$40 a month before tax.

For 30 staff that is US$14,400 a year. Each person's Grok Bot work comes out of their own seat's allowance, and work beyond it is billed on top.

Glimmer is priced by the job. We pick the job that costs your team the most hours, build it, and count the hours with you after. A grant can pay part of the build.

Example: Sales and marketing

The pipeline number for the boss

An example week for an interiors firm that sells over WhatsApp. We count your own hours on the first call.

02

Your systems

Your own chat app and your own cloud

A Grok Bot works on a cloud computer in the United States. It signs in to websites with each person's own login. Team Bots answer in Slack or in the Grok Bot app.

Glimmer runs in your own cloud account. It answers in the chat app your team already uses, such as Lark or Teams. It reaches only the systems on your approved list. Passwords stay locked away, and every connection is logged.

You mark the actions that need a person, such as a payment or a client email. Glimmer asks the person who made the request, in the same thread.

The people and orders in the chat are an example.

Who sets it up

Someone sits with your team and stays after

With Grok Bot, each person creates their own Bots and signs them in to the right websites. Each person also writes the rules for what needs approval. A Team Bot's owner adds the plugins and keys for everyone.

We sit with the person who does the job today and write down how it is really done. Then we build it, put it to work in your chat app, and train your team leads to change it themselves. We keep running the servers underneath.

Fair to say

Where Grok Bot is the better choice

  • Several helpers working at onceOne person can run several Bots in parallel. They pass work to each other and keep going after you close your laptop.
  • Its own app on your computer and phoneThe Grok Bot app runs on Mac, Windows and Linux, and on iPhone and Android. You can type, dictate or talk to a Bot.
  • Starting today, on your ownYou set up a Bot by describing its job in a message. Where the option is on, you can show it a task once, and it saves the steps for you to check.

If Grok Bot already does the job you have in mind, we tell you, and we do not quote a build for it.

Already on Grok Bot?

Using both

Keep Grok Bot for each person's own research and web tasks. Add Glimmer to your team chat for the one job that crosses your systems and takes the most hours.

Glimmer joins your Lark or Teams channels like a new teammate. Your staff @mention it the way they would a colleague, and their Grok Bots stay as they are.

Questions owners ask

Straight answers, before you book a call

Can I use both?

Yes. Grok Bot gives each person their own AI helpers. Glimmer takes one shared job off the team, in the chat app you already use. You can keep Grok Bot for the people who like it and add Glimmer for the job that crosses systems.

Grok Bot has Team Bots in Slack now. What is different?

Team Bots let a whole team share one Bot in Slack or the Grok Bot app. Each person still needs their own Grok Bot access, and each person's use comes out of their own allowance.

Glimmer is one build for one job, in the chat app you already use. We set it up in your systems, and it runs in your own cloud account.

Grok Bot can work in websites that have no connector. Can Glimmer?

Yes. Common tools connect through connectors we have already checked, and we build connectors for your own systems with you. For software nothing can connect to, Glimmer uses the screen through a web browser, the way a person would.

Does Glimmer work in Lark?

Yes. Glimmer joins your Lark chats, and your staff @mention it there. It also works in Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Chat, WhatsApp and Telegram, and moves with you if you switch.

Can a grant pay part?

Most Glimmer builds qualify for government grants like the EDG. The government pays part, you pay the rest, and we help you apply. Check your grant in 60 seconds.

Where is my data kept?

Glimmer runs in your own cloud account, or on a private server we set up for you. No other company shares it. The only thing that leaves is what the AI model needs to answer, sent on your own account, and every connection is logged.

Grok Bot's security page states that its cloud computers run in the United States today.

On the record

Every connection is logged

Glimmer reaches only the systems on your list. Anything else is blocked, and the block is logged too.
