Grok Bots
Grok Bots reads the conversations Grok Bot writes on this machine and files them in the same searchable local library as every CLI session, so a bot thread and an agent run sit side by side. The card leads the Home deck and ships collapsed — open it once and it stays open.
- Grok Bot conversations imported into the local session library.
- Searchable beside every CLI transcript, not in a separate app.
- Leads the Home deck; ships collapsed until you open it.
Stays free Ships with Lite. No account, no trial clock.
