X.ai has introduced the Agent Dashboard for Grok Build, a tool that enables users to manage multiple coding sessions at once. The dashboard provides an overview of each session's status, allowing users to respond to sessions that require input and initiate new tasks. It offers a centralized interface for monitoring and interacting with active sessions, enhancing productivity and workflow efficiency. Users can access the dashboard from their shell with the command 'grok dashboard' or through the session interface by typing '/dashboard' or pressing Ctrl+.
The dashboard organizes sessions by their current state, with those awaiting user input displayed at the top, followed by active and idle sessions. Each session's status, name, branch, and activity are shown, along with the time since the last update. A filled marker indicates a session needs input, an animated spinner shows activity, and a hollow marker denotes inactivity. Users can group sessions by working directory using Ctrl+S, and subagents are listed under the session that initiated them. The dashboard also allows users to peek at session outputs and reply directly, with messages queued for busy sessions. Multi-part questions are handled sequentially, and options for pending actions appear inline, with responses selected via arrow keys or number keys.
The Agent Dashboard is integrated into Grok Build, and users can install it with a single command. Once installed, the dashboard can be accessed via the shell or within an active session. Closing the dashboard does not terminate sessions, which resume when the dashboard is reopened. The tool is designed to streamline workflow by providing real-time visibility and control over multiple coding sessions. Source: xai
