I tried making a new bot and got a timeline error.
same issue here
Grok Bot 0.20.0 on macOS.
Since 2026-08-20 around 09:30 CST, all Bots fail to respond.
The message is accepted by the server and enters “Working”, then fails
with “Bot failed to respond”.
Request IDs:
- 5c7f28b2-46c1-4e14-9783-ea37f5a9eef3
- 57bc4cd1-65da-4b62-9b11-6543f3033371
Local network checks:
- api2.cursor.sh reachable, HTTP/TLS normal
- GET /local-exec/requests: HTTP 200
- POST /local-exec/responses: HTTP 200
- local daemon inflightCount remains 0 during the failures
This indicates the failure occurs in cloud generation/scheduling,
before any local tool request reaches the daemon.
I’m glad I’m not alone i guess.
Hi Thank you for raising this and providing the screenshot showing the error. This matches a potential issue we discovered a few hours ago. The computer behind your bot stopped responding correctly and isn’t recovering on its own. I’ve added your report, and we’ll keep you updated on a resolution. Thank you for your patience and thank you for being a Grok Bot user!
Same issue here aswell!
If anyone has been able to solve this issue please reply below.
Hi @baney75 @here I have one troubleshooting step you can try please! Please click on your name on the lower left corner and then click on Settings → Go to Updates and from there you can Reset Grok Bot’s computer. I recommend trying both a reset and an update. Observe the warning carefully. Please let me know if this solves your issue, and if not, we can take a closer look.
It worked!
Excellent, thanks for confirming!
I am facing the same issue. “Reset Grok Bot’s Computer” mechanisum didn’t worked for me.
i’m with the same issue here, already done update and reset, but it doesn’t worked
Grok Bot desktop 0.24.0 on Mac (Apple silicon), installed from the official .dmg into Applications.
Symptom: app launches, briefly shows “setting up Grok’s computer,” then the window goes fully black. No buttons, no sign-in, no Settings. Same failure in the web client. I am trying the iPhone app next.
Already tried: redownload, copy to Applications, Gatekeeper Open, Force Quit leftovers, relaunch with --disable-gpu, kill local-exec-daemon and reopen. No change.
Activity Monitor shows one healthy Grok Bot process (not hung). It has live HTTPS connections to Cursor/AWS. Open files include GPU caches and ~/.grokbot/local-exec-daemon.log.
That log is a restart loop: helper starts, then SIGTERM or “desktop ownership lost, shutting down,” then starts again. Latest line is another start with no stable session.
This matches the stuck/unreachable Agent Computer issue from Aug 20–21. I cannot use Settings → Updates → Reset Grok Bot’s Computer because the UI never paints.
Please reset or recreate the Agent Computer on this account. Happy to send a request ID if you tell me where to find one on a black window.
