Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Grok Bot
Describe the Bug
I’m experiencing what appears to be the same issue others have reported with Grok Bot becoming stuck and failing to respond.
I have already:
- Restarted my computer.
- Confirmed Cursor is up to date.
- Created a fresh copy of the affected Grok Bot.
- Tested the new copy with a very simple health check that uses no tools, connectors, search, or memory.
The issue persists. The bot repeatedly returns “Bot failed to respond — Something went wrong while generating the reply. Try again.” even in the newly created copy.
Other Grok Bots also appear to be affected, so this does not seem isolated to a single conversation or bot configuration.
Could someone please confirm whether this is a known Grok Bot service issue and advise on any troubleshooting steps or information/logs I can provide to help diagnose it?
Thank you.
Steps to Reproduce
Open any existing Grok Bot in Cursor.
Send a simple message such as: HEALTH CHECK — NO TOOLS, CONNECTORS, SEARCH OR MEMORY. Reply exactly: FORGE_ALIVE
Wait for the response.
The bot fails with: “Bot failed to respond — Something went wrong while generating the reply.”
Restart Cursor/computer and repeat.
Create a fresh copy of the Grok Bot and repeat the same test.
The failure persists across both existing and newly created Grok Bots.
