Only useful to people already paying for SuperGrok or a Grok business plan; the add-in itself is free but does nothing without one.
Kenning's take
What it does
Grok for Excel is a SpaceXAI add-in that puts Grok in a side panel inside Microsoft Excel to help with formulas, charts and analysis. It was released alongside add-ins for Word and PowerPoint. TechRadar reports the add-in is free to install but needs a SuperGrok, SuperGrok Heavy or Business/Enterprise plan to do tasks.
