App restarted while you were away? Turn Automatic Updates off
You come back and the app restarted itself mid-task for no clear reason.
What hurt
Pitchfork & Torch (@SuddenlyJon) shares a crisp tip: Automatic Updates is on by default, so Grok Bot restarts to apply updates when you are away. Prefer to pick the moment yourself—turn it off under Settings → Updates. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Settings → Updates → turn Automatic Updates off; update when you choose.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/SuddenlyJon/status/2111938342585586012 (credit @SuddenlyJon).
- 2Open Grok Bot Settings → Updates.
- 3Turn Automatic Updates off if mid-task restarts bother you.
- 4When you are ready, update manually and restart on your schedule.
Approval fence
No outbound action—just a settings choice. Re-enable updates when you want the latest build.
What to tweak
Steal the one toggle: Automatic Updates off when you need uninterrupted runs.
