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.
- 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.
- 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.
- ApprovalsSpaceXAI
Bots only pull you in for judgment calls. They follow up on dropped threads and nudge stalled handoffs.
- 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.
- Agent Client ProtocolSpaceXAI
Use Grok Build through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) in other apps.
- 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.
- 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.
- /goal and /loopCursor
Assign a long-lived objective (e.g. fix flaky tests and make CI green). Pair with /loop for recurring check-ins.
- Custom modesCursor
Pin skills as always-on modes so agents stay focused. Select from the / menu.
- SteeringCursor
Send a follow-up without interrupting the current turn. Press return twice or Send now.
- BuildsCursor
Ready-to-use copies of the dev environment. Agents boot ~3× faster to first token; included with Cloud Agents.
- Conversation hooksCursor
Observe and control prompts, responses, thinking, subagents, compaction, and turn completion.
- Start from scratchCursor
Cloud Agents can start without a connected GitHub or other SCM. Cursor creates an Origin repo in the background; save with Create repo when ready.
- Live previewCursor
Port-forwards the cloud agent environment to the browser for preview and design mode.
- Vercel publishCursor
Connect a Vercel account and publish the agent build to a live URL.
- Pull requestsCursor
Timeline, commits, checks, diffs, comments, and merges in Origin, two-way synced with GitHub.
- Agents in every repoCursor
Query code, make changes, update PRs, and push branches from hosted repos.
