Grok gains a canvas-like tool for creating docs and apps

Share


Grok, the chatbot from Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has gained a canvas-like feature for editing and creating documents and basic apps.

Called Grok Studio, the feature was announced on X late Tuesday. It’s available for both free and paying Grok users on Grok.com

“Grok can now generate documents, code, reports, and browser games,” wrote the official Grok account on X. “Grok Studio will open your content in a separate window, allowing both you and Grok to collaborate on the content together.”

Grok is only the latest chatbot to get a dedicated workspace for tinkering with software and writing projects. OpenAI launched a similar capability, Canvas, for ChatGPT in October. Anthropic was one of the first to the punch with Artifacts for Claude.

Grok Studio doesn’t seem materially different from the canvas-like tools that’ve come before it. It lets you preview HTML snippets and run code like Python, C++, and JavaScript. All content opens in a window to the right-hand side of Grok’s responses.

Grok Studio is made potentially more useful by another Grok upgrade announced today: integration with Google Drive. Now, you can attach files from a Google Drive account to a Grok prompt. Grok can work with documents, spreadsheets, and slides, according to xAI.
