A self-hosted Grok Bot alternative
Short answer: 5dive runs the real Grok Build CLI on your xAI account or API key, as an always-on agent on your own Linux server. It works on one task board with Claude Code, Codex, Hermes and other agents. 5dive is open source (MIT). No server? We host one for you.

Pick Grok Bot if
you want hosted computers with nothing to set up, and you're happy for it to pick the model.
Pick 5dive if
you want your agents on your own server, want Grok Build writing the code while Claude Code reviews it, or want to read and change the code. The core is bash, systemd and sqlite.
