xAI is gearing up to launch advanced tooling for tasks within Grok web, as signaled by a newly added label near the tools section. The tools themselves, first spotted in earlier updates, appear designed to enable users to pull data from sources such as Gmail, Slack, and Notion, while also drawing on expanded search capabilities from X. Notably, there’s evidence that tasks are now able to access financial data from X directly, users can request daily stock price updates simply by tapping a ticker symbol.
The introduction of tools is likely to broaden this functionality, allowing tasks to synthesize and summarize information across a variety of 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 hasn’t been revealed, but the pace of Grok updates has increased recently. Just this past 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, which could bring more powerful automation and reasoning to the platform.
Introducing Imagine v0.9, our new video generation model with massive upgrades from v0.1 in visual quality, motion, audio generation, and more.

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 would likely surface in the main Grok web interface, accessible from the tools section, and could mark a shift in how users interact with both messaging and productivity data within a single AI-powered workspace.
