Gap closed
Authenticated sites were the reviewer's knock. The Aug 25 secure form puts ChatGPT Work on the same you-type, it-never-sees floor as Grok Bot.
Aug 25, 2026 · credential-blind login
ChatGPT Work can now sign into websites without the model seeing the password — the exact catch-up versus Grok Bot. What remains is architecture: an isolated cloud browser versus one always-on Linux VM with sticky cookies and named teammates.
Overview
ChatGPT Work's Aug 25 login update closes the authenticated-sites gap reviewers had flagged against Grok Bot: both agents now pause so you type the password, then keep clicking without the model ever seeing it.
Share B is the architecture table — core idea, login, runtime, action model, persistence, price, fit, tradeoff. Share A walks the @ChatGPT post chore by chore: California DMV, utilities, invoices, restock-from-photo, keep-working-after-close. Grok Bot still owns persistence and multi-bot teaming on one shared machine. ChatGPT Work owns distribution, connectors, and the $20+/mo door. Both pause before payments.
Authenticated sites were the reviewer's knock. The Aug 25 secure form puts ChatGPT Work on the same you-type, it-never-sees floor as Grok Bot.
One always-on VM, sticky cookies, named bots that hand work around. That is still Grok Bot's product.
Plus, Pro, and Business on web and mobile, connectors when a site has an API, approximately $20+/mo to start.
Neither product is claimed to complete checkout unattended. Payments and high-stakes confirms still wait on you.
Architecture
Same credential-blind pause. Different computers. Read this pair before the tables — the numbers only make sense once the runtimes are visible.
ChatGPT Work
A task agent inside ChatGPT. Isolated remote browser on web and mobile; desktop can also use local files. Mix of official connectors and computer-use clicks. Sessions can persist and can be cleared per site. One agent at a time.
Grok Bot · @bot
Named, durable teammates sharing one persistent cloud computer. Browser, filesystem, and terminal. Work continues after you close the laptop. Multiple bots reuse cookies and logins; they are not security-isolated from each other.

Exact wording from the prefix share. First column is the dimension entity; click through to the graph.
| Dimension | ChatGPT Work | Grok Bot |
|---|---|---|
| Core idea | Task agent inside ChatGPT that uses a cloud browser plus connectors | Named, durable teammates that share one persistent cloud computer |
| Login flow | Secure form in the cloud browser; model never sees username/password; session can persist | Human takeover at login/2FA; bot keeps the session afterward; same you-type, it-never-sees pattern |
| Where it runs | Isolated remote browser (web + mobile); desktop can also use local files | Always-on Linux VM with browser, filesystem, and terminal; work continues after you close the laptop |
| How it acts | Mix of official connectors and computer-use clicks | Primarily computer use (vision + clicks/keystrokes) so it can use sites with no API |
| Persistence and teaming | Per-task / scheduled; one agent at a time; sessions can be cleared per site | Multiple named bots share one machine, cookies, and logins; bots can hand work to each other |
| Access and price | Rolling out to Plus, Pro, and Business ~$20+/mo | SuperGrok / Cursor Ultra / Teams Premium ~$120-300/mo; recently widened to more SuperGrok users |
| Best fit | Everyday admin and knowledge work (DMV, insurance, invoices, small-business portals) with reviewable deliverables | Unattended, multi-bot workflows on messy UIs that lack clean APIs |
| Tradeoff | Broader product surface and lower entry price; login support is newer | Stronger leave-it-running model, but shared machine means bots are not security-isolated from each other |
Share A · ChatGPT post walk
The original @ChatGPT post is a list of authenticated click-through jobs. Read it as a sequence, then as a table. Almost every item was already in-scope for Grok Bot because it assumed sign-in-once and click-like-a-person.
ChatGPT Work Yes — secure form in the remote browser; session can persist
Grok Bot Yes — you take over at login/2FA; the bot keeps the session
ChatGPT Work Explicitly advertised; demoed on California DMV
Grok Bot Same pattern: navigate the site, pause for login, continue the form
ChatGPT Work Designed for these portal workflows
Grok Bot Same, and better suited to sites with no official connector
ChatGPT Work Cloud browser + search + save
Grok Bot Persistent browser session can watch sites and reuse logins
ChatGPT Work Called out in the post (upload photo then buy or reorder)
Grok Bot Possible if the bot can see the image and then shop; not a headline feature
ChatGPT Work Email + portal clicking, or a connector if one exists
Grok Bot Shared machine can stay signed into both Gmail and the accounting site
ChatGPT Work In-browser form fill + drafting
Grok Bot Same, plus named specialist bots can hand work to each other
ChatGPT Work Mix of connected ads tools and browser
Grok Bot Computer-use on the actual ads dashboard if there is no API
ChatGPT Work Cloud browser can continue; scheduled tasks exist
Grok Bot Core design: always-on VM; work continues while you sleep

| Utilities, car registration, insurance, rental-policy | Designed for these portal workflows | Same, and better suited to sites with no official connector |
| Find and save apartment listings; resale-site drops | Cloud browser + search + save | Persistent browser session can watch sites and reuse logins |
| Restock from a photo | Called out in the post (upload photo then buy or reorder) | Possible if the bot can see the image and then shop; not a headline feature |

HowTo
Both products now let an agent operate a remote browser, pause so you enter credentials, then keep working without the model seeing the password. Treat credential-blind login as the common floor.
If the site is a one-shot portal on web or mobile, ChatGPT Work's isolated cloud browser is the designed fit. If the job must survive closing the laptop, prefer Grok Bot's always-on Linux VM.
ChatGPT Work presents a secure form in the cloud browser. Grok Bot uses human takeover at login and 2FA. In both cases you type; the model never sees username or password.
DMV or passport, utilities, reimbursements, listings, restock-from-photo, invoices, outreach, ads dashboards, then keep-working-after-close. Almost every item is in-scope for Grok Bot because it already assumed sign-in-once and click-like-a-person.
Need sticky cookies across Gmail and an accounting site, or named bots handing work around? That is Grok Bot's edge. Need an official connector and a Plus-tier plan? That is ChatGPT Work's edge.
ChatGPT Work is rolling out to Plus, Pro, and Business at approximately $20+/mo. Grok Bot is SuperGrok, Cursor Ultra, and Teams Premium at approximately $120-300/mo, recently widened to more SuperGrok users.
Both products still pause for payments and other high-stakes confirms. Do not plan unattended checkout.
