Features

• Long-running agents

  SpaceXAI

  Stays with multi-step work: research, analysis, codebase edits, and turning a product idea into a working first version.

  Grok 4.6agentsmulti-agentcomputer-use

• Self-testing and verification

  SpaceXAI

  On longer trajectories, checks its own work before moving on.

  Grok 4.6agentscoding

• Own cloud computer

  SpaceXAI

  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 runtime

  SpaceXAI

  Keep working 24/7 in the cloud after the client is closed.

  Grok Botalways-onagents

• Routines

  SpaceXAI

  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.

• Approvals

  SpaceXAI

  Bots only pull you in for judgment calls. They follow up on dropped threads and nudge stalled handoffs.

  Grok Botagents

• Plan mode

  SpaceXAI

  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.

  Grok Buildcodingagents

• Auto and always-approve

  SpaceXAI

  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.

  Grok Buildcliagents

• Agent Client Protocol

  SpaceXAI

  Use Grok Build through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) in other apps.

  Grok Buildcliagents

• Sessions

  SpaceXAI

  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.

  Grok Buildcliagents

• Agent Dashboard

  SpaceXAI

  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.

  Grok Buildcliagents

• /goal and /loop

  Cursor

  Assign a long-lived objective (e.g. fix flaky tests and make CI green). Pair with /loop for recurring check-ins.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentsautomation

• Custom modes

  Cursor

  Pin skills as always-on modes so agents stay focused. Select from the / menu.

• Steering

  Cursor

  Send a follow-up without interrupting the current turn. Press return twice or Send now.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagents

• Builds

  Cursor

  Ready-to-use copies of the dev environment. Agents boot ~3× faster to first token; included with Cloud Agents.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentsinfra

• Conversation hooks

  Cursor

  Observe and control prompts, responses, thinking, subagents, compaction, and turn completion.

  Cursor Cloud Agentshooksagents

• Start from scratch

  Cursor

  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.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentsgit

• Live preview

  Cursor

  Port-forwards the cloud agent environment to the browser for preview and design mode.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentscomputer-use

• Vercel publish

  Cursor

  Connect a Vercel account and publish the agent build to a live URL.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentsconnectors

• Self-hosted machines

  Cursor

  Run cloud agents on machines in your network. My Machines connects a laptop or VM; team pools scale workers on demand with hibernate and restore. Integrates with AWS Lambda, Coder, Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal, Namespace, Vercel, and E2B. Self-hosted workers support computer use on Linux and Mac.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentsinfracomputer-use

• Projects

  Cursor

  Long-running work with a coordinator agent that plans and delegates to implementing agents. Shared context files sync across cloud and local machines; runs on a cloud computer when the laptop is closed.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentsmulti-agentautomation

• Rollouts

  Cursor

  Change monitor on every pull request: writes a monitoring plan, tracks deploys per environment, and reports verified healthy, regression detected, or inconclusive. Connects Origin or GitHub, CD deploy events, and telemetry (Datadog and others).

  Cursor Cloud Agentsautomationagentsinfra

• Security Review

  Cursor

  Posts one review comment per pull request reporting exploitable bugs (injection, auth bypass, secrets in source, SSRF, unsafe deserialization, vulnerable dependencies). Team rules enforce codebase-specific policies. Draft PRs are skipped.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsautomationagents

• Agent SDK

  Cursor

  Agents as code: instructions.md, tools/, skills/, MCP connections, and channels. `agent-sdk dev` runs locally; `agent-sdk deploy` hosts on Cursor. Evals and `agent-sdk github replay` test PR-driven bots.

  Cursor Cloud Agentsagentsapiautomationskillsmcp

• Live apps

  Cursor

  Cloud agents scaffold web apps, provision Postgres and Cursor SSO auth, run security review, and publish to a chosen domain for team or public sharing.

• Pull requests

  Cursor

  Timeline, commits, checks, diffs, comments, and merges in Origin, two-way synced with GitHub.
