Grok Bot
Describe the Bug
I am working on a project that involves Grok Bot controlling my Mac to create videos for a video game using the Godot engine. That requires the bot to launch the game and take videos using the Godot’s built-in movie maker and controlling the Mac mouse cursor like if it were a real human.
Everything works great if I interact with Grok Bot after each iteration inside the Grok Bot app on the same computer. But if I let it go doing its tests and I check on it remotely via phone, after a random time between 10 and 40 minutes it is unable to connect to the Mac despite the following:
- The Mac is caffeinated
- The display is always on
- The Grok Bot app is always in the foreground
I am attaching an excerpt of the local-exec-daemon.log file for your review.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Give Grok Bot a task to control an app on your computer that requires controlling inputs such as mouse movement and clicks.
-
Make sure the computer is caffeinated, the display is always on, and Grok Bot is in the foreground.
-
Step away while Grok Bot is doing its task, and check on it remotely once in a while.
After an interval between 10 and 40 minutes, Grok Bot loses connection to the Mac.
Expected Behavior
I expect Grok Bot to be able to work on the Mac without any connection issues.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
