Settings and notifications

Use Grok Bot settings for app-wide and desktop-local behavior, and conversation details for one Bot's profile and notifications.

Open the account menu and choose Settings, or press Cmd/Ctrl+,.

The Grok Bot settings dialog contains sections based on your account and rollout. Some options described below may not appear.

Sign in or out of the Cursor account used by Grok Bot. The account menu also shows About, the installed Grok Bot version, and a link to the iOS or Android app.

Choose Follow System, Light, or Dark.

Configure shared and local Bot behavior:

• Timezone, which routines use for schedules
• Execution on Local Computer

Cursor manages model selection, so there is no model picker.

Manage your personal Auto Review rules.

Two settings in General deserve care. Execution on Local Computer controls whether Bots can run commands on the desktop in front of you; per-command approval is the default, and the setting applies to that desktop alone. Auto Review rules shape which actions stop for your approval, and they are stored on the current desktop and synced to its Grok Bot computer. Either way, do not assume another desktop installation carries the same configuration. Read Approvals, security, and privacy before changing either.

Use Marketplace to discover plugins and packaged skills. Use Yours to review installed plugins and private skills.

An installed plugin may still need browser authentication. Individual plugin tools can be enabled or disabled. On the Teams plan and the Enterprise plan, team-provided plugins may be required or restricted by an admin.

See Connect plugins for the connection flow.

Usage & Billing shows weekly included usage and on-demand usage for eligible accounts, and the account menu can show Weekly usage at a glance. If neither surface appears, review usage from the Cursor account page or contact your organization's admin.

For how plans, weekly usage, and on-demand spend work, see Plans and billing.

On the Teams plan and the Enterprise plan, Team Setup shows the managed setup your admin provides for team computers. You can review or reinstall the current setup. Admins configure it from the dashboard; see Grok Bot for teams and enterprises.

Do not place secret values directly in managed setup instructions.

The update controls live in the Beta section of settings, alongside security-key or egress-routing options when those are available. The Grok Bot app and the Agent Computer update separately:

• Check for Updates and Restart to Update update the desktop app.
• Update Agent Computer rebuilds the cloud computer on the latest image while preserving durable state.
• Reset Agent Computer is a last resort that returns the computer to its synced durable state; unsynced recent work does not come back.

See Troubleshooting for the least destructive recovery order.

Open View conversation details, then Agent settings, to edit that Bot's:

• Name, title, and description
• Avatar
• Notifications preference

These settings belong to one Bot. Execution on Local Computer and Auto-review settings are shared across Bots using the current setup, but are not an account-synchronized policy across every device.

The sidebar distinguishes:

• Needs attention for a question, approval, or handoff
• Unread activity for a new result
• Working or typing status

Opening a conversation marks its current activity as read. Use the Bot menu to mark a conversation read or unread manually.

Turn on Notifications in a Bot's settings to receive an operating-system or mobile notification when that Bot finishes or needs input. Group chats do not have the same per-Bot notification switch.

Notifications are normally suppressed while Grok Bot is focused. The sidebar and dock badge still show unread activity.

The iPhone and Android apps also ask for notification permission during first run. Both device permission and the Bot's notification setting must allow the notification. Mobile push delivery is rolling out and may not yet be enabled for every account.

Errors appear above the composer under Notifications. You can dismiss one notice or clear the list. Some notices include Copy request ID for support; copy and share the complete ID with support.

Clearing a notice removes the notification, not the underlying external action or Bot history.
