## Works with

What Grok Build runs, and what can run Grok Build. "With your existing login" means the wrapped tool's subscription is reused, no second bill.

### Runs inside

- [agent-manager](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/agent-manager) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Go terminal UI on tmux that runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini and other agent CLIs side by side, with live status in one list and diff comments sent back to the agent.
- [dmux](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/dmux) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): FormKit's open source tmux pane manager. Each pane gets its own git worktree and branch, launches the agents you pick, and merges or opens a pull request from the pane menu.
- [JetBrains AI](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/jetbrains-ai) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): AI Assistant and the Junie agent in JetBrains IDEs. Completions on JetBrains models are free, cloud agents draw from monthly AI Credits. Claude Agent and Codex plug in over ACP.
- [T3 Code](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/t3-code) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Ping Labs' open source control surface for the agents already installed on your machine. Desktop, web, iOS and Android clients over one local harness, with native git worktrees.
- [Zed](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/zed) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): Open source editor written in Rust with GPU rendering. Hosts external agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI over ACP at no charge, with its own hosted models on Pro.

## Models
