xAI has launched Automations, a new feature that allows users to define tasks once and have Grok execute them automatically on a schedule or when specific emails arrive. This update is now available on grok.com and the iOS and Android apps.
- Users describe instructions like a chat message, attaching files and connecting tools via @ mentions.
- Schedules can be set for one-time, daily, weekday, weekly, monthly, or yearly runs at user-defined times.
- Email triggers monitor inboxes and fire when incoming messages match specific sender, recipient, or subject filters.
- Automations report back via email, app notification, both, or neither, with results saved to run history.
- Scheduled automations are available to all users, while email triggers require a SuperGrok subscription.
