## Which one, for what

### Grok Bot (F)

Good for: People already paying for Cursor or SuperGrok who want agents working across web apps, files and email from a cloud computer.

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where Skydive loses 5 points for them

Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint lets an outside agent send a Bot a task.

### Skydive (D)

Good for: A person or team who wants hosted agents with their own cloud computers, memory and connected apps, reachable in Slack, email, text and a CLI, and who can drive them from scripts through the CLI.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 41 against 30
- Schema & documentation, 81 against 10
- Agent ergonomics, 59 against 0
- Security & auth, 59 against 14
- Payments & pricing, 35 against 30
- Transparency & trust, 75 against 64

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: The API has no operation for sending an agent a task. That runs through the CLI's `chat -p`, outside the OpenAPI contract.

## Verdicts

**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.

**Skydive.** Skydive publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and scoped, agent-bound API keys, though outside agents can send it tasks only through the CLI. Its status page records several major incidents, including a 25-hour Agent Hosting outage, and its home and pricing pages say data is never used for training while the privacy policy turns training on by default.

## 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.

### Skydive

1. Send tasks with `skydive chat -p "..." --agent <id> --json` and pass `--conversation <id>` from the JSON to keep context. The REST API can't send a task.
2. Don't retry `chat -p` or a create blindly after a timeout. There's no idempotency key, so list agents or keys before retrying.
3. Ask the owner for an agent-bound `use` key when you only need to read. Account-level `edit` keys can create agents and mint keys.
4. Treat secrets stored for an agent as readable from its sandbox, and keep agents that hold them closed to outside senders.
5. Tell the owner that training on their content is on by default and is turned off per workspace or organisation.

## Disclosure

- Grok Bot 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.
