## What it is
Grok Build is SpaceXAI's terminal-based AI coding agent, written in Rust, that runs as a full-screen interactive TUI. It understands codebases, edits files, executes shell commands, searches the web, and can run headlessly for scripting/CI or be embedded in editors via the Agent Client Protocol.

## Use cases
- ai coding agent in the terminal
- refactor code with an llm from the command line
- automate code edits in ci pipelines
- embed an ai agent into my editor
- interactive tui for ai-assisted programming
- let an ai agent run shell commands and fix bugs

## When to choose
- you want a full-screen, mouse-interactive terminal AI coding agent
- you need headless agent runs for scripting or CI
- you want editor integration via the Agent Client Protocol
- you prefer a fast native Rust tool with prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based AI coding assistant
- you want an IDE plugin rather than a terminal tool
- you require Windows builds that are fully tested and supported
- you don't want an agent that can execute shell commands autonomously

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: agent-framework, cli, terminal-ui, llm-inference, developer-tools
