Grok Bot — Shadowfetch Linux

Grok Bot is an optional choice in Welcome, beside Hermes Agent and OpenClaw. Nothing is installed unless you pick it. All three optional agents →

Mission Control Grok Bot page: Give it real work., Ready to install the official native app, Install Grok Bot and Open Grok Bot buttons, and four notes on sign-in, cloud connection, verified installation and local missions. — Mission Control's Grok Bot page before setup: the official native app is ready to install, a 98.9 MB download that needs an eligible account and plan. This shows the Shadowfetch side, not a signed-in Grok Bot session. Captured in a virtual machine from the last 5.0.0 release candidate, one rebuild before the signed ISO; the rebuild changed nothing on this screen.

Grok Bot needs internet and an eligible vendor account. Installing the package proves installation and opening the sign-in screen proves launch; neither proves that a cloud task has completed, and account access stays vendor-controlled. See known issues.

From first boot to the official app.

In Welcome's agent step, select Grok Bot.
Review the cloud service, download, administrator approval and vendor update-source information.
Shadowfetch verifies the pinned native package before installing it.
Open Grok Bot and sign in in the native application using an eligible account and plan.

The application menu and Mission Control's Grok Bot page keep setup, verification and launch within reach after first boot.

Install Grok Bot confirmation dialog over Mission Control, explaining the 98.9 MB verified download, administrator approval, vendor update source and eligible-account requirement, with Yes and Cancel buttons. — Install Grok Bot asks first: Shadowfetch verifies the pinned package before requesting administrator approval, and says the package adds a vendor update source. Captured in a virtual machine from the last 5.0.0 release candidate, one rebuild before the signed ISO; the rebuild changed nothing on this screen.

The distinctions that matter.

Tool	Where its work happens	Account and connection
Grok Bot	Official native desktop and its cloud teammates	Eligible vendor account and plan; native sign-in
Grok in ShadowCode	ShadowCode drives the separate Grok command-line tool as a subscription row	That CLI's own login; connected in ShadowCode's Settings › Accounts
Mission Control	Shadowfetch's scoped local task queue and selected compute	No Shadowfetch account; cloud providers require explicit approval

An API key for model inference does not replace Grok Bot's native app account.

Online by choice.

Grok Bot is a cloud service. When shadowfetch-agent-network is offline, its setup, update and launch pause; set it online deliberately when you want to install and use it, then review the vendor's project permissions and data handling. The distro does not bundle an account, subscription or credential.

shadowfetch-control --page grok-bot
shadowfetch-grok-bot status --json
shadowfetch-grok-bot doctor --json

From 5.0, status --json reports agent_network and blocked_by_offline; 4.x reported element and blocked_by_ice.
