Features
- Long-running agentsSpaceXAI
Stays with multi-step work: research, analysis, codebase edits, and turning a product idea into a working first version.
- Self-testing and verificationSpaceXAI
On longer trajectories, checks its own work before moving on.
- Interactive and visual workSpaceXAI
Stronger first passes on visual and interactive projects — structure and visual language in one pass.
- 500k context windowSpaceXAI
Text and image inputs with text-only output and no text output limit.
- Reasoning effortSpaceXAI
Configurable reasoning: low, medium, high (default), and xhigh.
- API pricingSpaceXAI
$2 / $0.50 / $6 per 1M tokens (input / cached / output) below 200k prompt tokens; $4 / $1 / $12 above. Fast variant is twice the price.
- Where it runsSpaceXAI
Cursor, Grok Build, xAI API, OpenRouter, Vercel, Cloudflare, Amazon Bedrock, GitHub Copilot, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
- Own cloud computerSpaceXAI
Each Bot runs on a persistent cloud VM with a browser, filesystem, and terminal. All Bots on an account share that user-scoped computer (files, browser sessions, logins), with a separate screen per Bot.
- Always-on runtimeSpaceXAI
Keep working 24/7 in the cloud after the client is closed.
- Colleague messagingSpaceXAI
Message a bot like a teammate. Bots remember conversations, share context in threads, and can coordinate in group chat.
- SkillsSpaceXAI
A skill is a reusable set of instructions for how to do a task. Skills are available across Bots. Teach a task can record a browser workflow (up to ten minutes) into a draft skill when that control is visible.
- RoutinesSpaceXAI
A routine tells one Bot when to run a workflow — on a schedule or, where supported, after an event. Background routines can run while the laptop is closed. A Bot can own up to 50 routines.
- Supported platformsSpaceXAI
Desktop app on macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows (x64 and Arm64); companion app on iPhone (iOS 18 or later). Linux desktop, Android, and iPad are not supported at initial launch.
- ApprovalsSpaceXAI
Bots only pull you in for judgment calls. They follow up on dropped threads and nudge stalled handoffs.
- ConnectorsSpaceXAI
Sign into the tools you already use and work across apps and inboxes, including platforms with no clean API or MCP.
- Plan modeSpaceXAI
The agent explores and drafts a plan before edits. Only the session plan file may be edited until you approve; bash is not gated. Auto and always-approve do not skip plan review. Enter with /plan or Shift+Tab; the agent can enter plan mode on its own. Reopen with /view-plan.
- Auto and always-approveSpaceXAI
Ask (default) prompts for anything not already allowed. Auto uses a classifier to auto-approve safe tools. Always-approve skips permission prompts; deny rules and PreToolUse hooks still apply. Shift+Tab cycles Normal → Plan → Auto → Always-approve. Allow/deny rules in [permission] or --allow/--deny; deny wins.
- Headless and scriptingSpaceXAI
Run without the TUI via grok -p. Optional --output-format streaming-json for scripts, automations, or other apps.
- Agent Client ProtocolSpaceXAI
Use Grok Build through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) in other apps.
- SubagentsSpaceXAI
Independent child sessions with their own context; they return a summary to the parent. Built-in types: general-purpose, explore (read/list/search only), and plan (no shell, no edits). Add types under .grok/agents/ or ~/.grok/agents/. Personas are behavioral overlays via /personas.
- SkillsSpaceXAI
Reusable folders with markdown, scripts, and resources (SKILL.md). Discovered from ./.grok/skills/, ~/.grok/skills/, plugin skills/, and [skills] paths. User-invocable skills appear as /<skill-name>. Capture a session as a skill with /skillify.
- PluginsSpaceXAI
Plugins add skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, and LSP servers from ./.grok/plugins/, ~/.grok/plugins/, marketplace installs, [plugins] paths, or --plugin-dir. The TUI extensions modal opens from /plugins, /hooks, /skills, or /mcps.
- MarketplacesSpaceXAI
TUI Marketplace tab installs plugins from [[marketplace.sources]] in ~/.grok/config.toml and ~/.grok/plugins/known_marketplaces.json.
- Claude Code compatibilitySpaceXAI
Reads Claude Code marketplaces, plugins, skills, MCPs, agents, hooks, and instruction files (CLAUDE.md, Claude.md, CLAUDE.local.md, .claude/rules/) alongside .grok/ with no extra setup.
- HooksSpaceXAI
JSON hooks (command or HTTP) on lifecycle events. PreToolUse is the only blocking event (explicit deny, else fail-open). Personal ~/.grok/hooks/*.json; project .grok/hooks/*.json needs /hooks-trust or --trust. Also reads Claude Code and Cursor hook files.
- MCP serversSpaceXAI
MCP servers expose external tools as <server>__<tool>. Add with grok mcp add (stdio or HTTP/OAuth). Also declared in ~/.grok/config.toml or project --scope. Loads ~/.claude.json, .cursor/mcp.json, and .mcp.json unless compat is disabled. /mcps in the TUI.
- AGENTS.mdSpaceXAI
Loads AGENTS.md, Agents.md, AGENT.md, CLAUDE.md, and *.md in .grok/rules/ (plus .claude/rules/ and .cursor/rules/) from repo root down to cwd; deeper files win. --rules appends session-only text. grok inspect lists loaded files.
- Web and mobileSpaceXAI
Grok Build is available beyond the terminal — web and mobile surfaces announced Aug 19, 2026.
- Release channelsSpaceXAI
Installer respects GROK_CHANNEL=stable|alpha|enterprise (default stable). The welcome screen shows the active channel. Failed channel updates suggest the matching reinstall command. Persist the choice in ~/.grok/config.toml under [cli] channel.
- SessionsSpaceXAI
Every conversation is saved under ~/.grok/sessions/. Resume with /resume, grok --resume, or grok -c. /fork branches a peer session; /rewind restores files and truncates the conversation. grok sessions list/search/delete and grok export manage them.
- WorktreesSpaceXAI
Isolated git checkouts under ~/.grok/worktrees/<repo>/<name> so parallel agents do not overwrite each other. Start with grok -w, /fork --worktree, or Ctrl+W on the dashboard. Persist until grok worktree rm or gc.
- SandboxSpaceXAI
Limits what an approved tool call can read, write, and reach on the network (Landlock on Linux, Seatbelt on macOS). Off by default. Profiles: off, workspace, devbox, read-only, strict. Enable with grok --sandbox, [sandbox] profile, or GROK_SANDBOX.
- Agent DashboardSpaceXAI
Fullscreen overview of every session (needs input, working, idle, completed, failed). Open with Ctrl+\, /dashboard, or grok dashboard. Reply or answer permission prompts inline; Ctrl+W starts new agents in a worktree.
- Background tasksSpaceXAI
Run commands, subagents, and monitors while the conversation continues (/tasks, Ctrl+G). /loop repeats a prompt on an interval (max 50, expire after 7 days). Monitors notify on each script line. Ctrl+; or /queue lists prompts queued behind the running turn.
- ThemingSpaceXAI
TUI themes via /theme or [ui] theme in ~/.grok/config.toml. Built-ins include GrokNight (default), GrokDay, TokyoNight, RosePineMoon, and OscuraMidnight. theme = auto follows OS light/dark.
