Team Bot Creation (Single account transitioned to Team account)

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Grok Bot

Describe the Bug

I have a Grok Bot Premium account and added a teammate, who accepted the invite, so I’m not on a single-member team. Even so, I can’t create a Team Bot. When I create a new bot in the app, there’s no option to make it a Team Bot. On the dashboard, Manage Team Bots shows a “+ Create new Team Bot” button, but clicking it does nothing: no new bot, no setup flow, and no error.

Continuing from https://forum.cursor.com/t/share-with-your-team-does-not

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Sign up for Grok Bot Premium.
  2. Invite a teammate and have them accept.
  3. In the Grok Bot app, create a new bot. There’s no Team Bot option.
  4. In the dashboard, go to Manage Team Bots and click “+ Create new Team Bot”. Nothing happens.

Expected Behavior

I can create a Team Bot from the app or the dashboard, or I see an error explaining why I can’t.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Version Information

Grok Bot - Desktop Browser

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for making a separate thread.

You don’t need a separate team plan for Team Bots. A team created from a personal plan starts working as a team once a second person joins, and your teammate has already accepted the invite. Based on our data, Team Bots started being created for your team shortly after your post, so there’s a good chance everything is already working now.

In the Grok Bot app, the Create new Bot button always makes a personal Bot. To create a Team Bot:

  1. Click New chat (+)
  2. At the bottom of the list, click Team Bots
  3. Choose Create new Team Bot

You can also do this from the command palette with Create new Team Bot.

At first, only you can see the new Team Bot. Once setup is finished, a Publish to team card will appear in its chat. After you publish it, your teammates will find it under New chat > Team Bots.

The + Create new Team Bot button on the dashboard doesn’t create a Bot in the browser. It opens the Grok Bot desktop app and starts the same flow there. So the app needs to be installed on that computer, and you need to be signed in with the same account. Your browser may first ask for permission to open Grok Bot. If nothing happens, just create the bot directly in the app using the steps above.

If the published Team Bot still doesn’t show up for your teammate, reply here with the bot name and the approximate time you published it.

This seems to be a real issue or the “Create Team” Button for bots has been intentionally removed.

I’m on CachyOS x86_64, with Grok Bot 0.75.8 and i do not have any option to create a team for bots anymore. If i press the + i only get:

There is no option to create a new Bot-Team anymore, or i just can’t find it.

My existing Bot-Team still exists but i can’t make new teams.

Thanks,

Hey @Spakoozy, nothing was removed in 0.75.8, and it doesn’t depend on Linux. Since 0.71, the + button in the sidebar opens Create New Bot right away, so that’s why you only see that dialog. That’s expected.

If your “Bot-Team” is a group chat with multiple bots, you can create a new one like this:

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+N or open the command palette with Ctrl+K and choose New group chat
  2. Add the bots you want and press Enter

There’s more detail about this change in this thread: (+) button bricked in Grok Bot. We also noted there that this path is hard to find right now, and we passed that feedback to the team.

If you meant a Team Bot instead, which is a bot shared with your teammates, that option only appears when the account you’re signed into is part of a Cursor team with at least one other member. In that case, you’ll see Create new Team Bot in the command palette with Ctrl+K.

Let me know if you meant something else.

Right,

found the group chat creation in the search and at the bottom with Ctrl+K. That was what i was looking for, thanks!
