Build Map

Field guide

Real platform surfaces. Real Grok Build / *.grok.me platform. This page is an independent map of it — not the official help center. How to read this →

Publish path

Vercel deploy & *.grok.me

Grok Build apps are backed by Vercel hosting/CDN. You prompt and preview; the platform runs the production build and publishes to a *.grok.me host, with hub discovery at hub.grok.me.

Build must succeed under Nitro’s Vercel preset. Dev-only code that breaks SSR or serves assets with wrong MIME types produces blank deploys — verify production build, not only live preview.

Do not hand-author .env files in the builder sandbox.
