What makes the difference

Grok Bot and APX both organize work around several named agents with roles, memory, skills and routines. The main difference is where they run: every Bot works on one Cursor-operated cloud computer in the US, while APX agents run on your computer or a server you control. Grok Bot also chooses the model for each task, whereas APX lets you pick model providers, Claude Code, Codex or ACP agents for each agent.
