xAI Prepares Grok Tools for Data Fetching

xAI is preparing Grok web tools to extract data from Gmail, Slack, Notion, and X search, providing stock ticker updates and unified insights.

The company is set to launch advanced tooling for tasks within Grok web, indicated by a newly added label near the tools section. These tools, first observed in earlier updates, are designed to enable users to pull data from sources like Gmail, Slack, and Notion, while also utilizing expanded search capabilities from X. Notably, tasks can now access financial data directly from X, allowing users to request daily stock price updates by tapping a ticker symbol.

The introduction of these tools is expected to expand functionality, allowing tasks to synthesize and summarize information across various platforms, making it easier for professionals, analysts, and researchers to gather multi-source insights without switching between apps.

The specific release date for these features has not been disclosed, but the pace of Grok updates has recently increased. Just last week, Grok Imagine video received improvements in character consistency and motion quality, making generated clips visually more stable and realistic. Despite these upgrades, the community still awaits anticipated model advancements that could bring more powerful automation and reasoning to the platform.

xAI's focus with Grok is on building an agentic web experience that blends search, automation, and media generation. By introducing cross-platform tooling, the company is moving toward a more open agent framework where the assistant becomes a central node for both personal and work-related queries. These features are likely to appear in the main Grok web interface, accessible from the tools section, and could signify a shift in how users interact with both messaging and productivity data within a single AI-powered workspace.
