Yes, you can ask your Grok Bot to start a Cursor Project. I checked SpaceXSI's Grok Bot changelog, and the September 18, 2026 entry has this line: "A Bot can start a Project when you ask for one: a Cloud Agent that plans the work and runs its own agents."
That covers starting, or creating, a Project. I didn't find a Grok Bot docs page that uses "manage" for a Project, and we haven't tested what a Bot can do after it starts one. A later changelog line is, "Follow-ups to a running cloud agent the Bot started reach it right away." Another is, "Your Bot cancels, archives, and unarchives Cloud Agents as soon as you ask." Those lines are about Cloud Agents in general. The September 18 entry defines a Project as a Cloud Agent, but I can't confirm those later lines work the same way for a Project, because we haven't tried them on one.
On Nov 10, 2026, @poteto wrote, "did you know grok bot can make and manage projects for you? just ask it to!" That's a user post, not an official page.
We haven't tried these steps ourselves, so I can't confirm the exact wording that works, or what you'll see next.
Cursor also has its own way to create a Project from the left-hand nav in the Agents Window: click New Project, choose a name, pick a workspace, then click Create Project. That's Cursor's path, not a documented Grok Bot path.
In that September 18 line, the Project "plans the work and runs its own agents." On Cursor's Projects page, the coordinator "creates and manages agents on your behalf," and people who join a shared Project work from the same tasks in the Project's list and board.
I didn't find anything official about a Grok Bot, after it starts a Project, putting agents on that shared board, and we haven't tested it.
I didn't find anything in the Grok Bot docs or on Cursor's Projects page about adding Grok Bots you already have to a Project, and we haven't tested it.
In the changelog, the Project runs "its own agents." On Cursor's Projects page, you can drag an eligible top-level Cloud Agent chat onto a Project, or choose Add to Project in that chat's menu. That path is for Cloud Agent chats, not for the Grok Bots already in your sidebar.
I didn't find anything in the Grok Bot docs about whether Cursor needs to be open for a Bot to start a Project, and we haven't tested it.
A few related lines are easy to read too much into, so here's exactly what they say. On Cursor's Projects page, a Project runs on its own computer in the cloud, so closing your laptop doesn't stop it. On SpaceXSI's How Grok Bot works page, each Bot works on a computer in the cloud, so it keeps working while you're away. A September 1, 2026 changelog line is, "A Cloud Agent's open button lets you choose Open in Web or Open in Cursor, and remembers your choice." None of those lines covers whether you need Cursor open to ask your Bot to start a Project.
Cursor's Projects page has this line: "Projects are shared within a Cursor team, and joining takes an invite. Someone on a personal account, or on another team, can't join." Sharing a Project needs a team account and Cursor 3.26.13 or later. Each person who joins gets their own chat in the Project, with their own coordinator and workers, and "Their chat runs and bills as them."
I didn't find anything official about inviting Grok Bot accounts into a Project, or about using another account's quota that way, and we haven't tested it.
The same day's Cursor blog post, Cursor Projects is now multiplayer, has this line: "It's rolling out in beta to all users in Cursor starting today." I won't guess how that line fits with the team-account rule on the Projects page.
There are two different handoff paths, and I didn't find a page that ties them together.
On SpaceXSI's Message and collaborate page, a Bot can send an asynchronous message to another Bot. The receiving Bot wakes, handles the request, and can reply later, and you can see the handoff in the conversation.
On Cursor's Projects page, when your coordinator needs something from a teammate's work, it messages their coordinator directly, so you don't have to relay it. The same day's blog post also has this line: "In-progress work can even be handed over directly: the new person's agent simply takes it on."
I didn't find anything official about how a Project a Grok Bot starts handles the Bot-to-Bot handoffs you already use, and we haven't tested it.
These questions were posted on X after @poteto's post and Cursor's multiplayer announcement. They are not official, and we haven't verified them by trying the product.
You can point your Bot at this page to adopt this practice.
Paste this into a chat with your Grok Bot.
When I ask you to start a Cursor Project, do this:
1. Start a Project if you can, and tell me what you started, in plain language, including any name or link you can see.
2. Do not add my other Grok Bots, invite accounts, or change sharing unless I ask for that exact step and you can actually do it. If you can't, say so and stop. Don't guess.
3. If I ask whether I need Cursor open, whether you can put agents on a shared board, or how handoffs will work, stick to what you can see in this chat and say when you aren't sure.
4. Don't spend, send, post, or change production systems. If a step needs my approval, wait for it.See how I set up Grok Bot: https://www.soundminds.ai/setup.
