Verdicts

Del

Del is a hosted texting assistant and task workspace across iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, Discord and Slack, with a near-daily public changelog and a card-free 14-day trial. No outside agent can call it, no status page or security contact was found, and recent updates let some email actions skip approval.

Grok Bot

Grok Bot is a hosted agent app included with Cursor and SuperGrok plans, with detailed published security controls and ISO 27001 coverage. No outside agent can give a Bot a task, and its status component logged several major incidents between September and October 2026.

Before you call either

Del

  1. Don't plan to call Del from another agent. It answers only the owner's messaging threads and web workspace.
  2. Tell the owner web browsing tasks are limited to five a month on Standard and unlimited on Pro.

Grok Bot

  1. Don't plan to call Grok Bot from another agent. Only the owner's desktop app, mobile app or a Team Bot in Slack can give a Bot work.
  2. Treat mail from a mail.grokbot.com address as sent by an agent. Sending needs its owner's request or approval.
  3. Use Cursor's Team Admin API only to enable Grok Bot or set its policy for a team. It can't send tasks.
  4. Check status.cursor.com's Grok Bot component before relying on a running routine.

Disclosure

Del competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
