X Subscription Explained: Grok 4.7, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium

So it's been a busy few weeks in the world of A.I. Grok shipped a new frontier model, Grok bots are running around on their own computers in the cloud doing work on your behalf. And Cursor started letting you host your own code. Now, all of that, in addition to X Premium, has now been merged under one ecosystem subscription. It's called the X subscription. And so in this video, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about the launch of the X subscription. So what's included, the benefits, the disadvantages, and then the focus of this video is going to be actually using it. So we're going to start with just explaining what the launches and the updates are. And then we're going to take a product from idea to launch Using this stack to explore how it functions as a customer, we're going to research it with grok, build it in cursor, make the launch assets in grok imagine, and then hand the daily workload to a bot and finally actually launch it on accident. At the end, we're going to cover Over all of the capabilities and the costs involved. So if you just want to understand what the new X subscription is, just stick around for the next few minutes. If you want to understand how to best use this yourself, then stick around for the whole video. That said, it's going to be a fun one. Let's go. So there are five things that launched. Number one is the X subscription. It launched on October 12th. And what that is, is Grok bought Cursor and X Premium all on one plan. There are five tiers there. So there's free, plus, premium, super, and ultra. And the real change is kind of in the usage, where now usage is one shared pool kind of credit or token wise across Grok and Cursor as opposed to a cap on a per product basis now premium gets about four times the usage of plus super is 15 times and ultra 50 times and then also premium rules up super grok cursor pro and x premium plus now number two is grok 4.7 that's their most capable model yet for coding and knowledge work so it includes a bigger base model and is trained to just work harder on these very long very complete Flex problems. It also holds more context and will check its own work. And it's half the price of comparable models. So net that means a cheaper model and more work per pool or per usage. The number three is Grok bot. That's what I'm most excited about personally, if you couldn't tell by the kind of videos on this channel and what it is, is a new kind of colleague, so to speak, with his own computer in the cloud. And so it's a bot that signs into the tools you use. He works across apps and inboxes and then only comes back when he needs your approval. So you can teach him a task by recording yourself doing it once and then he can go out there and do it on your behalf. And that is for people on the premium plan and up. Number four, Cursor is on the main plan now, and it's a lot more like an editor these days as I describe it. So there's cloud agents that keep working when your laptop is closed. There are automations that run on a schedule or on event. And there's a thing called the bug bot, which reviews your pull requests. And then finally, recently, there's this thing called origin from cursor, which is their own code hosting. And all of that as well as included on premium. Now my fifth category here covers everything else that is launched as of late. So there's imagine that makes images and video with audio, there's voice to build voice agents build, which is a coding agent in your terminal that So that runs 4.7 by default. And then on the X side. Plus gets a checkmark creator tools and advanced analytics. Premium is going to add an ad-free timeline on most surfaces. It also gets you a preferred handle and a higher reply boost. And so overall, I know we've covered a lot, but that is everything that has launched in the past few weeks. Now we're going to get into actually trying it out and seeing it in action. A quick note before the demos here, SpaceX partnered with me on this video and for that reason I'm on the premium plan and so if you want to build alongside these demos in the same plan to feel out the new system, the link is going to be in the description for that. Again, premium is the one that includes Grokbot and there's also a free tier if you want to just poke around first that works as well. So either way, just pull that up and let's get into my computer. So here's the project. It's called Alto, and it's a cold brew concentrate brand that I've been using for these demos. It's kind of like a business we've been building for a few months now, and we're going to launch it like a one person company with these tools in four handoffs. There's going to be number one, think, number two, build, number three, create, and number four, run. And then we publish. And each of these handoffs is going to use a different product that pulls from the same pool for this new subscription. And what I really want to illustrate is how you can hand off these different domains of work to these tools. That's going to be the bottom line that connects this new subscription from my perspective. So first hand off is the thinking, so to speak. So I'm in Grok right now, and on premium, this is running the latest model that is Grok 4.7. And I think the big plus here for knowledge thinking kind of research work is real time X search. And that means, for example, the conversation about cold brew is happening on X right now, there's a lot of people I'm sure talking about coffee out there in the world. And Grok can read all of that. So let's go ahead and I'm going to type in, I'm launching Alto, a cold brew concentrate sold directly to consumers in the US. I want you to search X in the web for what people are saying about cold brew concentrate right now. Give me the top five complaints that people have with current products, three needs, and then the three most common competitor formats with prices. And then finally. Pressure test my launch offer with a subscription box versus a one-time starter kit. So pick one and then tell me why. We're really putting GrokBot to work here. We're gonna finish as well with a one-page launch spec for a single-page website that a coding agent can build without asking me questions. And that's going to include a bunch of other stuff as well. And what's important to remember here is that it's pulling in real posts that are opinions from people out there, actual customers, not just kind of, About a vibe, so to speak, from the general internet. And so the goal is it's going to give me the complaints with the receipts and then tell me what to build in a spec that I can hand straight to an agent later in this video. And so here we can see all of the results that were generated, including those conversations from X, as well as the spec that will go and hand to Cursor to build the website. Now for our second handoff, what I'm going to do is take that spec. from grok and then give it to cursor and i'm using a cloud agent on purpose here the whole point of this plan is that the agent is going to keep working while i move on to the next thing so we're going to parallelize the tasks and this will be a recurring theme you can parallelize because you can have 10 agents 50 agents 100 agents as many agents as you want all doing work in parallel on your behalf But for now, we're just going to start with one. So let's say build this as a single page site with a clean and dark and minimal design. I want some just plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript so it runs anywhere and then include all of this. So a hero section, product price, a brew ratio calculator, a pre-order form. And then I want you to run it, fix anything that's broken and open a pull request finally when it works. And the model we're using here is going to be Grok 4.7. So it's going to stay in the subscription pool. And there's two things I want to point out while it builds. So number one, this is running in Cursor's cloud, not on my laptop. So I can close it and it will keep building. And then number two, when it's done, it's going to open a pull request on origin. That is Cursor's code hosting. BugBot is going to review it. And so we get the repo, the review, and the agent in one sub place as part of the new subscription. Now, a note there, if you do live in the terminal, then Grok build is going to do a very similar thing from the command line. So same pool and also 4.7 by default. Now, here are the results of the website build. So we can see a video that the agent made for us demonstrating what it made. So that right there is the homepage for the website. We have our product images and we have our brew ratio calculator. Okay, now we're at our third handoff. This is going to be the visual launch assets that we need. So we're going to jump back into Grok, this time to the Imagine tab, and I'm going to give it this image prompt. So I want a product photo of a matte black. And here are the first four images that were generated as well as a video that I'll play for you now. So that is the long shot and the hero image for the site and that to reiterate this, I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but that is coming out of the same pool as the research and the code. This is all one big ecosystem and that's the core update that I want to convey in this video. And now we're ready for our fourth and final handoff. This is going to be a new one. This This is Grokbot and everything so far has still been me prompting. and waiting. That's the modality we're all used to with AI. This is different. This is me doing the equivalent of hiring, where I'm going to open Grokbot and I'm going to give it this instruction. You run daily operations for Alto, a cold brew concentrate launch, every weekday at 8am indefinitely, right? What you're going to do is open the pre-order admin page. Count new pre-orders since yesterday. Search X for posts mentioning the Alto Cold Brew we're asking about Cold Brew Concentrate. Draft replies for the five best posts in my voice. And then send me a summary with the count and the five drafts. I do want to say, never post or reply publicly without my approval. So the agent is going to do all of the work, but not go the final mile, not post without my final review and approval. And now the part that makes this really cool and I think a step forward for the whole AI space is teach a task. So what I'm going to do is open the bot's computer and then hit record and then go do that admin check once myself for the first time. And so this Grok bot is then going to turn that into a routine. We're calling him the auto launch manager that he can run on his own. So we're actually training the AI ourself to do our own work, which is an incredibly powerful feature. So now I can go ahead Hands off, I can close my laptop and the bot's computer is still on. Now we're CrockBot, so the Alto Launch Manager is going to remember how I like things done, thanks to kind of the memory and the context ecosystem around it. So he's only going to ping me when he needs something approved, just like an employee. And final time on premium that is going to be included in the same pool as everything else we've looked at in the video. So we made it. Our brand is ready. We've covered a lot of ground so far. And our last step is going to be a ceremonial launch. So a post on X because that's where the research for the video, for the product, the visual assets, et cetera, have all come from. Now you can see we get the check mark, we get a reply boost and advanced analytics as part of that subscription. And so let's go ahead and click post and Alto is now live for the world. So high level to recap, we did research on 4.7. We did a cloud agent build product shots, a video on Imagine, a Grok bot, and then the X upgrade as well. And that used to be four separate limits, which means you could hit the cap on one and you might have credits or tokens remaining on the other three. Now it's one pool, right? So much more efficient spend, whatever you don't spend on code, you can spend on video or a bot. And so nothing is going to go to waste. Now, here's a look at what we spent to get this video done. So everything you've looked at was included in the usage shown here. And the pool is always going to buy you at least as much usage as that product would cost on its own. And the other two are just going to come on top. On the coding side, every tier includes at least twice the coding usage on Grok models as the Cursor Planet replaces. And as far as which tier you should go for, if you're considering, I would just say go premium if you want Grok bot. And then the latest models, video, and the full X upgrade. That's like base level. Go for super if you're using those tools all the time and you want priority. You just want kind of max level usage. If you really want max level usage, though, then ultra is going to be the biggest pool or the most usage possible in the lineup. And now teams do get premium, super, and ultra at the same per seat. Price with admin controls and SSO for all of y'all who run a larger business for all. If you use any one of these tools, this is just, I think a clearly superior structure for pricing and usage. If you don't use any of the tools, it's an awesome ecosystem to get started with. And I will close on that note. So that is everything that has launched. That's how it works together. That's the advantages. That's the disadvantages. Now, one final time, the link is in the description and premium is the plan you want. So if you comment X under this video, we'll send you the link to access the X subscription. That said, I appreciate y'all being here and I will see you in the next one.
