xAI Launches /goal in Grok Build, Adding Long-Running Autonomous Execution With Built-In Verification for Multi-Step Coding Tasks

xAI has introduced a new feature called /goal within its Grok Build platform, designed to manage autonomous, multi-step coding tasks. Users provide a single objective, and the agent generates a project plan, tracks progress, and independently verifies the output until the assignment is finished. This update shifts the platform from simple chat-based interaction toward automated, persistent execution, allowing developers to offload complex, time-consuming coding sequences to the AI.
