Grok
xAI's assistant: live web and X search, multi-agent reasoning, connectors to your email and files, and Automations that run on a schedule or when an email arrives.
Early score
Early score, based on docs and demos. Not hands-on tested yet. How we rate
Pros
- Automations run a described job on a schedule or when a matching email arrives, then report back, per xAI
- Connectors for Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and Salesforce, plus custom MCP servers
- Built-in Skills create Word docs, slide decks, spreadsheets and PDFs; Grok Build in chat makes and publishes apps on every plan
Cons
- No computer-use or browser agent inside Grok chat itself; xAI offers that separately as Grok Bot
- Plans are in transition: new customers get The X Subscription, older SuperGrok plans continue, and usage is a weekly pool shared with Cursor
