Grok Build v0.2.112 Changelog

This update is all about making the software smarter and less frustrating to use. It matters to anyone who uses Grok for complex projects, giving you more control over how the AI searches the web, better ways to manage background tasks, and a bunch of fixes that stop the app from freezing or losing your work.

What's new

• Interactive Tutorial: There is a new /tutorial command that starts an optional, nine-step tour to show you how everything works.
• Smarter Web Search Controls: You can now set rules for the AI's built-in web search, like ignoring articles published before a certain date, or only letting it read specific websites.
• Edit Queued Messages: If you type a prompt but the AI is still busy, you used to only be able to send it immediately or cancel it. Now, you can click an "edit" button to change your mind first.
• Resume Failed Workflows: If a multi-step AI task (called a workflow) crashes halfway through, you can now pick it back up right where it left off instead of starting over.
• Live Workflow Progress: When running those multi-step tasks, the screen now shows exactly what each part of the AI is doing in real-time.
• Easier Session Recovery: You can now pull up an old chat session by typing its title, rather than having to remember a random ID number.
• Voice Shortcut Toggle: You can now turn off the keyboard shortcuts for voice typing (like Ctrl+Space) without turning off the microphone entirely.
• Hooks in Config: "Hooks" are custom background triggers. You can now write these in your main settings file instead of needing a separate file.
• Custom Image Models: When editing images, you can now tell the software to use a different AI model than the default one.
• Slash Command Tags: Custom commands can now show little tags like [new] next to them to help you spot what changed.
• Task Pane Shortcut: If a task is "still running," you can just click that text to open the menu and see exactly what it's doing.

Improvements

• Better Troubleshooting: The /doctor command (which checks your system for problems) now includes terminal fixes and gives much clearer advice. It can even automatically fix common clipboard issues.
• Stricter Marketplace: When adding new plugins from the internet, the software immediately blocks bad links instead of letting you add them and failing later.
• Windows Login Helpers: The tools that handle logging into different AI providers now work better on Windows and can run from any folder you choose.
• Cleaner Chat History: The /resume menu now only shows your actual Grok chats by default, hiding confusing external ones, and it gives you a hint if it is hiding anything.

Fixes

• Attachments Fixed: Pictures and files now show up correctly when you load an old conversation.
• Accurate Background Tasks: Background commands used to always report they failed with a "-1" error code, even if they actually succeeded. Now they report the real result.
• No More Freezes: Refreshing your plugins used to freeze the whole app. It now runs smoothly in the background.
• Task Tray Cleanup: When you force-quit a stuck background task, it now actually disappears from the menu instead of lingering forever.
• Linux Voice Fix: Voice typing now works on older versions of Linux audio software (PipeWire).
• Account Info Stays: Your name and email stay visible in the settings even when your login token expires.
• Voice Typing Edits: You can now fix text you just spoke out loud without having to close and reopen your microphone.
• Linux Startup Fix: Fixed a bug where opening the app too quickly twice in a row on Linux would cause it to freeze forever.
• No More Spam: Fixed a bug where paused messages would spam "Worked for..." over and over in your chat history.
• Smoother Tool Use: If the AI accidentally tries to use a tool twice in a row, it now just quietly stops instead of popping up a big annoying banner.

Breaking changes

• CLI version policy: The command-line tool now has strict rules about which versions are allowed to run. If you are using a very old version, it might refuse to start until you update it.
