Grok

Drive CoAnimator with your Grok subscription. Nothing to install.

Sign in with Grok and xAI's model drives your project from CoAnimator's chat, on your existing account. There is no CLI to install and no API key to paste.

This is the bundled agent signed in with Grok, not xAI's Grok CLI, which is a separate command-line tool you install yourself.

Set it up

Sign in with Grok

Open New chat, pick Chat, and choose Grok. CoAnimator opens xAI's sign-in in your browser and stores the grant outside your chat history.

Pick a model

CoAnimator asks your account which models it can reach, so the list reflects your plan rather than a fixed catalogue. Use last model carries on with the one from your previous session.

Ask for a video

Ask in plain language. The agent calls CoAnimator's own tools with prompts according to the selected permission mode; not every action needs an individual approval. You can keep a ChatGPT tab open alongside a Grok one and work in both.

What you get

Grok in Chat uses CoAnimator's built-in agent, with no vendor CLI or Node installation required. The model doing the thinking is xAI's, running on your account; what CoAnimator provides is the chat, the project tools it can call, and the permission prompts in front of them.

In a folder with a project.json, CoAnimator's own MCP server is offered automatically, so the agent gets project-aware tools without any setup. It can also read and edit project files, run shell commands, and render through the coa CLI.

You get the vendor's model, not their agent product, so none of its own skills, plugins, hooks, or settings come with it. For those, use the Grok CLI.

This setup uses your subscription connection. For Claude, choose an installed or app-managed Claude Code connection, or use an Anthropic API key with separate billing. See Claude setup. OpenAI, Google and xAI API-key setup routes are not offered here.
