[GUI Plugin] Ask Grok - Page 2

cgrapski · 08-23-2025, 02:58 PM

Call 911! Seriously though - was excited to see this plug-in. Installed it and got the message of needing an API. Thought I would explore more - clicked the button to see if it would give me a hint where to get it (of course I came here - after this - because I was just trying a guess) ... but the window for the API entry has opened and stays in the upper left hand side of Calibre - without the close button showing - and I can't get rid of it!

Looks like there is big error when user input no API Key. I will fix this bug.

You just need force-exit calibre, and input the API Key in Ask Grok(Plug-Menu-Configuration), and click the Save button.

v.1.2.3 will fix this crash bug. This bug won't hurt your calibre app.

Hey Guys, many people may not want to directly purchase APIs for different services before using this plugin. I've discovered a free and reliable channel for obtaining free API keys (probably a marketing promotion for Nvidia Build). I've written down the detailed steps here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskGrokPlug...k_grok_plugin/
If you're interested, feel free to follow the steps and test the results.

Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in Nvidia Build.
