Ahead on: - Reliability, 30 against 15 - Security & auth, 14 against 0 - Payments & pricing, 30 against 20 - Maintenance & community, 56 against 2 - Transparency & trust, 65 against 43 Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint lets an outside agent send a Bot a task. ### Lobby (F) Good for: A person who wants mail drafts, follow-ups and scheduling prepared for approval across Google and a few work tools. Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Grok Bot | Lobby | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 30 | 15 | Grok Bot +15 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 10 | 10 | even | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 0 | 0 | even | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 14 | 0 | Grok Bot +14 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 20 | Grok Bot +10 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 56 | 2 | Grok Bot +54 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 65 | 43 | Grok Bot +22 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **24.4 · F** | **11.1 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Grok Bot | Lobby | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Anysphere, Inc.

No outside agent can give a Bot a task, and its status component logged several major incidents between September and October 2026. **Lobby.** Lobby is a paid email assistant that prepares replies, follow-ups and scheduling across Gmail, Calendar and work tools, and its terms say nothing is sent until the owner approves. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found on 21 October 2026. ## Before you call either ### 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. ### Lobby 1. Don't plan to call Lobby from another agent. It works only inside its own app for the signed-in owner. 2. Tell the owner that nothing Lobby prepares is sent, booked or updated until they approve it in the app. 3. Check whether the 7-day trial takes a card before signing the owner up. The terms don't say. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Grok Bot or Lobby?
