FAQ
Is Groxbot the same as xAI Grok Bot?
Same motion — named teammates you message — but Groxbot is multiplayer and fair-code so you can self-host. xAI Grok Bot is a closed, hosted product. Do not present Groxbot as xAI Grok Bot.
Can I use Hermes or OpenClaw with Groxbot?
Yes. Guest runtimes are opt-in per bot and off by default. They dial out to Groxbot. Default teammates use hosted models or a workspace BYOK key.
How is Groxbot different from Hermes and OpenClaw?
Hermes and OpenClaw are personal agents on your machine. Groxbot is multiplayer: named teammates, each with a computer, a shared knowledge base, and a messaging UI the whole company can sit in. Guest runtimes are opt-in and off by default.
Do other tools have multiplayer and a knowledge base?
Personal agents keep memory on one machine. Orchestrators track tickets and budgets. Groxbot is built so the whole team shares threads and office knowledge — that is the gap.
