X.ai has launched Grok Automations, a new feature that enables users to define tasks once and have Grok execute them on a schedule or in response to specific triggers. The feature allows users to describe the task, attach context, and set parameters, with Grok handling the execution automatically. Automations can be scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, or they can be triggered by incoming emails that match predefined criteria. Users can also initiate a run manually for testing purposes. The feature is now available on grok.com and through the Grok app on iOS and Android. Source: xai
Automations are created by describing the task in a chat-like format, including any necessary files, connectors, and skills. Once saved, each run is a fresh request using the same instructions but with current data. Users can choose how Grok reports the results, such as via email, app notification, or no notification at all. Automations can be paused, resumed, edited, or deleted at any time, offering flexibility in task management. The feature also supports direct integration with tools by mentioning them with the '@' symbol, ensuring consistent use across all runs. Source: xai
The Automations feature is part of X.ai’s broader effort to enhance productivity through AI-driven task automation. Users can create automations directly from chat by instructing Grok to perform specific recurring tasks, such as checking the news for pricing updates. The Automations page provides templates to help users get started, and all scheduled automations are available to everyone, with email triggers included in the SuperGrok subscription. Source: xai
