✨ NEW: GROK CODE AGENT

A True Coding Assistant. Not Just a Chat Window.

Grok Code has direct access to your codebase. It can read from and write to your files, understand your project structure, and execute changes autonomously—just like having a senior developer working alongside you.

This is a capability you cannot get in the browser. By running natively on your Mac, Grok becomes a true development partner with the ability to modify your actual project files, not just suggest code snippets you have to copy-paste.

📖

Read Your Codebase

Grok understands your existing code. It reads your files, analyzes your project structure, and learns your patterns before making any suggestions.

✍️

Write & Edit Files

Create new files from scratch or refactor existing code. Grok writes directly to your file system—no more copying snippets from a chat window.

Execute & Iterate

Run commands, interact with Git, and iterate on changes. Grok works in your actual development environment, not a sandboxed preview.

Example: "Create a new React component called UserProfile with TypeScript, add it to the components folder, update the index exports, and add the necessary props interface." — Grok Code will create the files, write the code, and make all the necessary changes across your project.

🔐 Powered by your xAI API key • Full local file system access • Your code never leaves your machine
