Grok can now be piloted from a phone inside VS Code and Cursor

What it shows
A desktop extension called “Grok Build for VS Code (Community)” lets users run Grok inside VS Code and Cursor, then control the same agent session from a phone.
Workflow
- Install the community extension
- Link the device through the extension
- Open the AFK Pilot site on a phone and connect
Why it’s notable
The demo emphasizes that this is not a chat app but a shared coding-agent session: same repo, same session, same agent, remotely piloted while away from the desk.
