SpaceXAI's Grok can now slot into Google Workspace, and getting it running is reportedly the easy part. Engadget has published a walkthrough covering both the setup process and what the assistant can actually do once it's inside your productivity suite.

The guide's headline takeaway: insertion is straightforward, but administrators shouldn't rush. There are "a few things" worth weighing before rolling out the welcome mat, per Engadget — the kind of due diligence that applies any time a third-party AI gains access to organizational documents and mail.

The integration is another marker of how aggressively AI assistants are colonizing productivity software, with Grok now competing directly inside Google's ecosystem alongside Google's own Gemini tools. For IT teams, the question is less whether employees will want these assistants and more which ones to sanction — and under what data-handling terms.
