Grok Bot 0.18 Reconstructed Source Released; Community Builds 20+ Self-Hosting Tools

The archived macOS application Grok Bot 0.18 has been reverse-engineered and reconstructed by the open-source community, spawning a collection of 20+ GitHub repositories that enable self-hosting, custom tool integration, and workflow automation. The original Grok Bot 0.18 application, released by Anysphere and xAI as a local macOS inference router, was archived in 2026 without publicly releasing its source code. However, developers have now successfully reverse-engineered the shipped application into readable TypeScript implementations, complete with Electron runtimes, coordinator layers, local Docker sandboxes, and macOS packaging.
