xAI has begun rolling out a new beta capability inside Grok Imagine on the web called Imagine Agent, marking a shift from single-shot generation toward fully agentic creative work. The feature places an autonomous agent directly within the open canvas, enabling it to produce both images and videos in response to broader, multi-step requests rather than isolated prompts.
XAI 🚨: A new Imagine Agent is rolling out on Grok web in Beta!

Imagine Agent can generate images and videos on an open canvas view. It can perform quite complex tasks, such as "generate a 1-minute film", "generate UGC product stories", "generate a complete manga set", and… pic.twitter.com/YgYT0SI2qP
What sets Imagine Agent apart is its ability to reason through complex creative briefs. Users can ask it to generate a full product photoshoot across several SKUs, fuse multiple images into a single composite scene, or build out elaborate environments from existing visuals. The same logic carries over to video. A request like producing a one-minute short film prompts the agent to draft a scenario, generate individual scene clips, stitch them into a longer sequence, and even produce a companion poster image.
Access is gradually opening up to Grok Heavy and Super Grok subscribers who already have Grok Imagine privileges, with no formal post from xAI yet. Given the pace of rollouts at the company, an official announcement is likely imminent, possibly within days.
The feature lands at a moment when xAI is aggressively pushing Grok Imagine as a creative pillar of its broader strategy. Following the launch of the Imagine API on partner platforms earlier this year and the introduction of multi-agent architecture inside Grok 4.20, layering an agent on top of the canvas extends that thread into a consumer-facing product. It also positions Grok Imagine against the wider race to ship agentic creative surfaces. OpenAI’s Images 2.0, Meta’s Vibes platform, and Google’s evolving Stitch and AI Studio tools all point in the same direction.
For users, the practical impact is a shift from prompt-by-prompt iteration toward delegating entire creative projects. The canvas becomes a workspace populated by an autonomous collaborator, reframing how Grok subscribers can approach campaigns, films, and marketing assets without leaving the platform.
