First I'll explain what Grok Bot gets right and the trade-offs baked into it: a cloud computer in the United States, managed model selection and bundled Cursor and SuperGrok plans. Then I'll go through what OpenBot is, how you connect Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, Grok, local models and more per agent, and how an agent keeps its role and workspace when you swap its provider or it falls back to a backup model. After that I'll cover channels, handoffs, the built-in browser, the queue, routines, chat apps, voice and the Vault, the honest local-first trade-off with the hosted EU servers, and a demo with a research agent and a coding agent. Finally, I'll go over the development-preview warning, the price, the PolyForm Noncommercial license and who should pick OpenBot or Grok Bot.
