terminal AI coding agent
Grok Build is a terminal-based AI coding agent (TUI) that edits files, runs shell commands, searches the web, and manages long-running tasks, with headless and editor support via Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
Same problem, same approach. Swapping one for another is a config change, not a rewrite.
