## How should I split Grok chat vs Grok Build?

See [GROK-46-WORKFLOW.md](GROK-46-WORKFLOW.md) — chat for think, Chat **Build Mode** for shareable prototypes, terminal **Grok Build** for repo/lab code, Bot for glue; catalog default **`grok-4.6`**.

## Is Chat "Build" the same as Grok Build on Termux?
148+
149+
**No.** Chat picker **Build** opens **Build Mode** (in-chat sites/apps/games → `*.grok.me`). Terminal **Grok Build** (`grok` / `grokhunter`) edits your lab repo. Details: [GROK-46-WORKFLOW.md](GROK-46-WORKFLOW.md#chat-build-mode-vs-grok-build-cli) · [xAI Build Mode](https://x.ai/news/grok-build-mode).

28+
| Best for | Prototypes you want to share as a link | GrokHunter lab, multi-file code, Coding Team |
29+
| Code | Optional — you need not touch it | Primary surface — works in your files |

| Tier note | Early Beta; announced for SuperGrok Heavy ([news](https://x.ai/news/grok-build-mode)) | Lab install + SuperGrok login or `XAI_API_KEY` |
31+
32+
**Rule:** repo / lab work → terminal **Grok Build**. Shareable app-in-chat → Chat **Build Mode**. Do not treat the Chat **Build** tile as “open my phone rootfs.”
