mark_k · x · 2026-08-21
Grok released Build 1.0.8, focusing on improving agent workflows. Key updates include faster concurrent subagents that no longer freeze the parent session, UI fixes when opening multiple subagents, and the ability to send follow-up messages while a task is running. New features include Ctrl+S to stash prompt drafts, autocomplete for saved workflows in /workflow, and MCP servers requesting input via popups. Workflow rows now show context usage instead of cumulative tokens, alongside improved error messages and folder downloads.
