- For
- macOS users running Grok Bots
- Worth noticing
- The site says each bot appears after its first report, sent through a local `deskbot` command rather than by reading conversations.
Field notes
The setup instructions have users add Desk Bots' reporting instructions as a private skill in Grok Bot and allow local execution. The FAQ says status reports use a local command and that the app does not read conversations. The page also describes Dock mode, team grouping, and notifications for bot questions or problems; its listed source-build requirements are macOS 13+, Xcode, and Swift 5.10+.
