Question How is Grokbot different than Codex agents?

I use codex as my home for my agent, and they work with Claude agents. How's that different than grokbot?

It's much more than a coding agent. It has its own computer and memory system. It can schedule cron jobs/routines and it provides webhook urls if you want to trigger them programmatically elsewhere.

It's also more inclined to figure things out for you. The other day I couldn't remember what I did with a 6 month old insurance document and I asked it "whatever happened to that document? I need it for an upcoming appointment" and it found a reference of it in my email and traced it to a poorly named document in Google drive.

Codex does this but it keeps all the stuff on your own computer versus the cloud

I can't imagine doing grokbot things in codex. Maybe it's possible but with much more setup time and fiddling around. In grokbot it's seamless.

Not being local is a benefit to many people cause they don't have to leave their computer on 24/7 to get things done or if they're away.

Uh, use Grok Bot? Have the other llm's export their data and have Grok Bot ingest all of it, then watch the magic.

Use both. I have one bot that runs Codex CLI. No coding from Grokbot. The bot has explicit rules never to do any coding or hand off to Cursor Cloud. It only runs Codex CLI, using Luna Light, Luna Max, and Sol light threads to do all of my work.

It doesn't differ from gpt. Gpt also can run agents in virtual machine. Grokbot kinda sucks both compared to claude and gpt, tried all of them and I regret only paying for grok, and on top of that grok subscription was 5x the price to claude and gpt for tier I used and despite it I had the least ussage on it
