Grok Build

Grok Build is available in early beta for all SuperGrok and X Premium Plus subscribers. You can install Grok Build with a single command (https://x.ai/cli/install.sh) and sign in with your account.

This newly launched tool helps in building automations, orchestrators, and using Plan Mode alongside Imagine for image and video creation.

Key highlights

For complex tasks, you start Grok Build in plan mode. You can approve the plan, comment on individual steps, or rewrite it entirely before execution begins.
Your AGENTS.md, plugins, hooks, skills, and MCP servers all work out of the box. Start Grok Build in your repo, and it picks up your conventions instantly.
For larger tasks, Grok Build delegates work to specialised subagents that run in parallel. Grok Build also supports deep worktree integrations, and you can launch subagents in their own worktrees.
Headless mode allows easily running of agents inside scripts and automations. The CLI also provides full support to build your own bots and agent orchestration apps.

This tool can be used for the entire development workflow- Plan mode, subagents, skills, hooks, MCP servers, AGENTS.md, Memory, Code Search, Multi-file edits, Git integration, Deep reasoning, Web search, Terminal execution, headless mode, code review, sandboxed execution, background tasks and theming.
