Updates, product notes and practical coverage for AI platforms and operators.
xAI has expanded Grok Imagine Video 1.5 with image and voice references, native 1080p output and wider text-to-video availability. Most capabilities are also reaching the API, while voice references begin with a limited US subscription rollout and request-based API access.
xAI has released a free Grok add-on for Google Workspace, bringing its assistant into Sheets, Slides and Docs. The integration can analyse spreadsheet data, build editable presentations and draft documents, giving teams a new in-app option for research and content production.
xAI has released Grok as a Microsoft Outlook add-in for summarising threads, drafting replies and organising email. It is available to paid X and SuperGrok users, while important questions about enterprise administration, data handling and regional availability remain for organisations to verify.
xAI has released Grok for Excel as a free Microsoft 365 add-in. It can answer questions about selected spreadsheet data, generate formulas, create charts, run forecast scenarios and draw context from connected email or file services without requiring users to leave their workbook.
xAI has released Grok 4.5 for coding, agentic tasks and knowledge work, with immediate access through its API, Grok Build and Cursor. The company is positioning the model around engineering performance, faster generation and lower token use, while its benchmark and efficiency claims still require independent testing.
