X.AI has introduced workflow capabilities to Grok Build, allowing users to describe large tasks in plain language and have the system plan, execute, and report on them. The feature enables orchestration scripts that distribute tasks across hundreds of parallel agents, verify results, and compile a final report. Users can run workflows without any cost, as their session remains free throughout the process. The system also allows for saving and reusing workflows, making it easier for teams to automate repetitive or complex tasks. The workflow feature is designed for tasks that require multiple independent steps and a single, consolidated outcome, such as reviewing large pull requests or auditing codebases for specific issues. It also includes a built-in deep research mode that distributes questions to parallel investigators and verifies claims against sources. The feature is available for immediate use, with examples provided to guide users in creating and executing workflows. Users can try the feature by installing the Grok Build CLI through a PowerShell command. The system also saves progress during runs, allowing users to pause and resume tasks without redoing completed work. The workflow feature is part of X.AI’s ongoing efforts to enhance productivity through automation.
Grok Build can now plan tasks as small scripts, defining the phases of work, the agents involved in each phase, and how their results aggregate. Each agent operates with a clean, focused context, and the system can incorporate checks that a single pass cannot, such as independent verification of findings before they reach the final report. The system provides a budget of 128 agents for standard runs, with the option to scale up to 1,024 agents for larger projects. Users can monitor progress in real time, with visibility into each phase and per-agent token usage. Workflows are saved in specific directories, with team-shared workflows stored in .grok/workflows/ and personal workflows in ~/.grok/workflows/. Saved workflows become slash commands, allowing users to execute them with arguments, such as /pr-review 5137 for a pull request review.
X.AI said workflows are ideal for complex, multi-faceted tasks that a single conversation cannot handle, such as reviewing every feature in a large PR, triaging the last 100 issues, or auditing a codebase for one class of bug. The feature is designed to split work into independent pieces and consolidate the results into a clear report. Users can try the feature by installing the Grok Build CLI through a PowerShell command.
