MausBot is the free, open-source Grok Bot alternative: a chat app where every contact is a real AI agent — Claude, Codex or Grok — running on your machine, on the subscriptions you already pay for. No weekly cap set by anyone else. We install it, build your bot team around your work, and hand it over running.
MausBot itself is free and open source (Apache 2.0). You pay only for the setup. Independent service — not affiliated with MausBot, xAI, Anthropic or OpenAI.
Grok Bot lives on xAI's computer, runs Grok only, and its weekly allowance was cut sharply in November 2026 — heavy users now burn through it in days. MausBot keeps the same roster-of-bots shape and changes everything underneath: your models, your machine, your data.
| Grok Bot | MausBot, DIY | MausBot + this setup | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | SuperGrok $30 / Cursor Pro $20+, weekly cap | Free (your existing plans) | Free + one-time setup |
| Models | Grok only | Claude, Codex, Grok per bot | Chosen per bot, for your work |
| Your data | xAI's cloud | Your machine | Your machine |
| Setup effort | None | Install, engines, logins, apps, routines — hours of fiddling | Done for you; you only do your own logins |
Every package ends with a working team on your machine and a written handover. You always do your own account logins yourself — we never ask for, or want, your passwords.
A short text exchange: what you do, which AI plans you already have, what your bots should take off your plate.
Roles, models, instructions and routines drafted for your case — you approve the line-up before anything is built.
We walk you through install and connections step by step in text. Logins happen on your screen, with your credentials, only ever typed by you.
Your team package is imported, apps connected, routines activated, approval rules checked on a real task.
You get the team package file, the playbooks and a plain-English guide. Support window starts.
Yes — MausBot runs on the agent accounts you already have (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex or Grok). If you have none, we will tell you honestly which single plan covers your case before you buy anything.
Yes. The app is open source under Apache 2.0 with no paid tier and no locked features. Our fee is only for designing and configuring your team.
On your machine, in MausBot's local data folder. Bots sign in to apps over OAuth and ask for approval before commands and file edits, per the rules we set with you.
Your computer (Mac, Windows or Ubuntu), your existing AI logins done by you during the guided session, and text replies. No passwords, no remote access to your accounts.
If we cannot get your team running on your machine, the setup fee is refunded. Support is by text, replies within one business day.
