SpaceXAI Opens Grok Build to Every Plan on Web and Mobile

On August 19, 2026, SpaceXAI moved Grok Build out of SuperGrok Heavy early beta: describe an app, game, site, or dashboard in Grok and it builds live in chat on web, iOS, and Android, on every plan. Publish to grok.me, remix, custom domains, GitHub export, and in-app SpaceXAI APIs ship the same day.

TLDR

SpaceXAI on August 19, 2026 shipped Grok Build on web and mobile to every plan. The hosted builder launched July 28 as Early Beta for SuperGrok Heavy. Today it is the consumer Sites-class surface: describe an app, game, website, or dashboard in Grok, watch a working version build in the chat, then publish. Distinct from Grok Build the terminal / OSS harness (July) and from Grok 4.6 (August 12).

What shipped

Item Detail (x.ai/news primary)
Date August 19, 2026
Access Every plan; web, iOS, Android
Prior Early Beta SuperGrok Heavy only (Jul 28)
Publish Each app gets a grok.me URL; access: you / link / public; custom domains
Covers Generated link-preview art; regenerate, upload, or redesign in-chat
X Inline banner with handle; games get a play affordance in the card
Model APIs Turn on SpaceXAI APIs so the app can call Grok for chat, images, and voice without pasting keys; per-app revoke
Also new since beta Remix, export to GitHub, secrets, connectors for live dashboards

Primary examples (forest driver, isometric city, physics playground, 16-step beat machine) are live grok.me apps, not mockups.

Product-line de-dupe: not Grok 4.6 (Aug 12), not Grok Bot teammates (Aug 11), not Grok Build CLI / open-source (Jul 15). Analogous to ChatGPT Sites: a hosted app builder going GA.

Why this story matters

The Heavy-only beta was a demo. Opening Build on Free-through-Heavy web and phone, with publish + remix + X cards, is how SpaceXAI turns Grok into a consumer creation surface rather than a chat box with a coding sidecar. Watch: whether grok.me becomes a spam surface, and whether in-app Grok API spend is metered separately from the chat plan.
