xAI has released the Grok add-on for Google Workspace, allowing users to interact with Sheets, Slides, and Docs directly within their files. This integration enables Grok to answer questions by citing specific cells, write formulas, insert charts, and generate structured drafts or presentations.
- Grok operates as a free add-on available from the Google Workspace Marketplace, covering Sheets, Slides, and Docs with a single installation.
- In Sheets, it cites source cells, writes and fills formulas, inserts charts, and reruns scenarios when assumptions change.
- For Slides, it researches from the web or X, adds diagrams, extends decks in existing themes, and produces editable slides rather than exports.
- In Docs, it converts rough notes into structured drafts with real headings, fixes grammar in place, and maintains style consistency.
- The add-on can pull data from recent emails or Google Drive files when connectors are enabled.
The tool allows users to make normal, checkable edits without rebuilding models or fixing exports, streamlining the workflow for document creation and data analysis.
