Does Grok Bot run on my Mac?
Its Bots work on a cloud computer. The desktop app runs on macOS, and a Bot can run commands on your own computer only if you allow it. Smart Jelly’s agents can use a browser in the cloud or one on your Mac.
Can either one use my passwords or card?
xAI says a Bot hands you control for passwords, codes and payment confirmations, and its logins are shared by every Bot on your account. Smart Jelly hides card fields from the AI and stops before paying.
What does each one remember?
A Bot remembers its own conversations, preferences and past work. Smart Jelly’s agents use your memory of chats, mail and meetings, kept encrypted on your Mac.
