xAI has announced an early beta of Grok Build, a new coding agent and command-line interface (CLI) designed for professional software engineering and complex coding workflows.
Grok Build
According to xAI, Grok Build is an extensible coding agent that can be used through an interactive terminal UI, headlessly in scripts or bots, or through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) in third-party applications.
The platform includes a rich, mouse-interactive, fullscreen terminal user interface for coding with AI agents and supports existing development workflows directly inside repositories.
