Grok Bot can't use computer, says setting never

Hey @Josh_Butz, thanks for the report, and for trying all of that already.

You haven’t misconfigured anything. The “Never” message isn’t coming from your setting, which is why switching it back and forth and restarting didn’t change anything. The bot shows that message when the Grok Bot app hasn’t finished linking your PC to your account, and this is an issue we’re tracking.

There’s one thing that might help. I can’t promise it will, but it’s quick and worth a shot:

  1. Go to cursor.com/dashboard/settings, signed in with the same account you use in Grok Bot.
  2. Find the Privacy Mode setting. If it shows Share Data, change it to Privacy Mode and confirm. If it already shows Privacy Mode, you can skip this step.
  3. Fully quit Grok Bot (not just close the window) and open it again.
  4. Ask the bot to try the task on your PC again.

Either way, please let me know how it goes. It’ll help us narrow this down. In the meantime, the bot can still work on its own cloud computer, so you can ask it to do the task there instead of on your PC. If you’re still seeing “Never” after that, reply here and we’ll keep digging. I’ll also post here when there’s an update.
