Leaked information indicates that xAI is developing an advanced file editor for its product Grok, which includes support for spreadsheets. This development suggests a strategic push to integrate AI copilots within productivity tools, positioning xAI competitively against industry leaders like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. The editor aims to allow users to interact with Grok while editing files. xAI has been gradually revealing its vision for interactive AI workspaces, which includes the recently launched Grok Studio. However, details regarding the extent of the productivity capabilities remain unclear.
You can talk to Grok and ask it to assist you at the same time you're editing the files!
xAI hasn't explicitly detailed its strategy for pursuing interactive, multimodal AI workspaces, but it has dropped a series of announcements that point to how the company is thinking about these tools.
It's not clear what types of files xAI's editor might support aside from spreadsheets, or whether xAI plans to build a full productivity suite that could compete with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
If Owji's findings are true, the advanced editor would be a step towards Elon Musk's ambitions to turn X into an 'everything app'.
