Introducing Grok Build

Now in early beta for all SuperGrok and X Premium Plus subscribers — Grok Build is a new coding agent that runs right from your terminal.

Plan, review, approve

For complex tasks, start Grok Build in plan mode. You can approve the plan, comment on individual steps, or rewrite it entirely before execution begins. Once a plan is approved, every change shows up as a clean diff.

Subagents that work in parallel

For larger tasks, Grok Build delegates work to specialized subagents that run in parallel. Grok Build also supports deep worktree integrations, and you can launch subagents in their own worktrees.

Built to fit your workflow

Headless mode (-p) allows easily running agents inside scripts and automations. The CLI also provides full ACP support to build your own  bots and agent orchestration apps.

Try it today

This is an early beta, and your feedback is the fastest way to make it better. Type /feedback in the CLI to send bugs, requests, and reactions straight to the team.

SuperGrok and X Premium Plus subscribers can install Grok Build with the command above and start building. If you don't have SuperGrok yet, upgrade here — we're excited to see what you create.
