Lightbulb vs Grok Bot

Grok Bot, from xAI and Cursor, gives each person their own Bots on a persistent cloud computer, with routines that keep running when the laptop is closed. Lightbulb gives a team one set of AI employees in shared channels, with one record and approval rules. Both do real work in real tools. The difference is who the agents belong to.

What Grok Bot does better

Each person gets a full computer with a browser, terminal and files, on desktop and mobile apps, and it keeps working while they are away. Admin controls are deep: network policy, team rules, team secrets and SIEM export on Enterprise.

If your team already pays for Cursor, Grok Bot costs nothing extra. Routines that nobody reads pause themselves, a rule we took. Grok Bot gives each person a team of Bots. Lightbulb gives the team one set of AI employees everyone can see.

Questions

Can a teammate see my Grok Bot's work?
Its docs say users cannot reach each other's computers, and a shared template does not include conversation history. In Lightbulb the room sees the work.
Which models?
Grok Bot's docs say Cursor manages model selection. Lightbulb runs Lightbulb-managed models, your ChatGPT account or your own key.
Can we use both?
Yes. Many teams use a personal agent and a shared workspace.
