Hey @Parag_Chhibber, thanks for the report, and for ruling out the power settings.
We’ve let the team know, and this is an issue we’re tracking. The PCs are still on, and the Grok Bot app is still open. It pauses the connection your bots use to run commands when it thinks nobody is at the computer, so the bots report that computer as offline. Coming back to the Grok Bot window on that PC ends the pause, which is why a reply there brings it back right away.
The app treats the computer as away when any of these happens:
- The screen locks
- The PC goes to sleep
- The Grok Bot window stops being the active window. Clicking into another app counts, including a browser with grok.com open, even if Grok Bot stays maximized. The offline message can show up later than that, which fits the hour or so you described.
There isn’t a setting to turn this off. For now, these should keep your routines running:
- On that PC, leave the Grok Bot window as the active window. Message the bots from your phone, or from another device, instead of from grok.com on that same PC.
- If a bot says the computer is offline, click the Grok Bot window on that PC. You don’t need to send a message, so there’s no need for a script that types “Hello”.
PCs you aren’t sitting at can each pause on their own, including overnight, so several of them can drop in the same stretch of time. The older thread you linked was an earlier problem. This one is the app treating the computer as unattended.
We’ll post here when there’s an update.
