What's new in Grok Build, July 2026
Grok Build adds voice dictation, /effort, /goal, /undo and tool call grouping
Grok Build's July 2026 releases added voice dictation, reasoning-effort control and session navigation tools. Thirty-nine releases shipped, from v0.2.80 to v0.2.118, though the notes for a few were trimmed.
On input and navigation, Ctrl+Space or F8 starts voice dictation (Linux support came in v0.2.89), /effort changes reasoning effort, /goal takes an objective, and /jump and /timeline move between conversation turns. /undo is an alias for /rewind, and previous user messages can be edited and resubmitted from the transcript. Tool call grouping is now on by default and folds consecutive reads and searches into single rows.
On permissions and extensions, Bash prompts offer a persistent "Never allow" choice, MCP prompts show the planned arguments, and grok mcp enable and grok mcp disable toggle servers from the CLI. Esc no longer cancels a running turn; Ctrl+C does. Headless JSON output now includes token usage and cost, and /usage shows them per session. The rest were fixes for clipboard handling, queued prompts, authentication and session stability.
