Grok guides for everyday tasks

Which guide should I open first?

Start with Ask for a raise with AI. You answer a short interview about your role and your wins. Pay stays blank until you paste a figure you copied. You speak. Grok does not email your manager. The same check applies to a redacted lab page and to a redacted statement. Those guides are on this page too.

Open Ask for a raise with AI

What should you know before you start?

Grok is the assistant from SpaceX Super Intelligence, which the consumer FAQ calls SpaceXSI. That FAQ says Grok is a conversational generative AI, and that you can use it on an iPhone, on Android, and in a browser at grok.com. The same page says Grok is also on X, and that access on X follows X's terms and X's privacy policy, not the SpaceXSI policy that covers the Grok app and grok.com. SpaceXSI's privacy policy, last updated October 27, 2026, says the same split, and it says SpaceXSI is a separate company from X Corp. The product pages live on x.ai. Some account and refund labels on those pages still say xAI. Welcome to Grok, updated October 10, 2026, says you sign in once and the conversation stays in sync across grok.com and the apps. If a button from a video is missing, believe the screen. Features are not a promise that every account shows every control.

What the chat can do is written on those pages, and the pages do not all have the same date. The October 10, 2026 overview says you can chat, create images and video with Grok Imagine, talk by voice, upload files such as PDFs and spreadsheets, and connect tools so Grok can reach email, files, and calendar. The Grok website and apps FAQ says you attach a file from the plus icon next to the message box, and that the FAQ is where file types and size limits are listed. Read the error on your screen if an upload fails. Do not memorize a limit from this site. The consumer FAQ, dated May 12, 2025, says Grok can search public posts on X and do a real-time web search, and that it can be inaccurate, including what that page calls hallucinations. It says to verify a reply before you use it. A search result is a lead. Open it. Catch facts the AI made up is the same move in any chat. The docs also say Grok Bot, a cloud computer with teammates, is not the same product as the chat on grok.com or in the mobile apps. The guides on this site use the chat. They do not hand a bank login to a bot.

Free versus paid is on SpaceXSI's pages. The overview says Grok is free to start, and that paid SuperGrok plans raise limits. The website FAQ explains where you cancel: grok.com for a subscription you bought on the web, Apple for a subscription you bought in the App Store, and Google Play for a subscription you bought there. It also says an X Premium subscription is X's to refund, not SpaceXSI's. The FAQ describes a weekly usage pool for paid plans, Extra Usage Credits you can buy on the web, and what happens when you hit a limit. Dollar amounts and the exact allowance are on that FAQ and in the app. This site does not copy a price. If a control is missing, check the current page. Do not assume you clicked wrong.

Privacy is a setting plus a habit, and the habit matters more. The consumer FAQ says SpaceXSI may use your prompts and Grok's replies to train models, and that you can turn that off. On the mobile app the path it names is Settings, then Data Controls, then Improve the model. On grok.com it names Settings, then Data, then Improve the Model. It says Private Chat, the ghost icon, is not used for training, is not kept in your history, and is deleted from their systems within 30 days. It also says that in some regions, excluding the EU and UK, using Grok without logging in does not give you that opt-out. If you use Grok inside X, the FAQ points you to the X Help Center for the training opt-out, and the privacy policy says X's privacy policy applies. The FAQ says not to share personal or sensitive information in a question. A training switch does not make a lab report, a pay stub, or a full account number safe to paste. Share links are public, and the FAQ says a link you post can be indexed by a search engine. Do not share a chat that still has your name, a medical record number, or a card number. Keep your data private with AI is the do-not-paste list for every chat, including this one.

Connectors are optional, and they are not a bank login. The connectors doc, updated October 10, 2026, says connectors are available to Grok users and can reach mail, calendar, and files, with a catalog of other services. It does not list a bank. This site's money guides still say to paste rows from a statement you opened. Do not connect a bank, and do not paste a password, so a chat can "find the subscriptions." If you connect mail or a calendar for a different task, you still approve a send. Cancel subscriptions and lower bills with AI is the statement path. Set the limits before you ask is the habit of saying what the chat must not do.

Three jobs on this site name Grok because a general chat can do them if you bring the facts. Ask for a raise with AI interviews you, leaves pay blank until you paste figures from BLS, Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, Payscale, or a company band you can see, and has you rehearse a skeptical manager. You speak. Understand lab results with AI is a redacted result page, plain English, and questions for your clinician. It is not a diagnosis. MedlinePlus and the Canadian Medical Association are linked from that guide. Cancel subscriptions and lower bills with AI sorts charges you typed and drafts a note you send after you read the provider's cancellation page. The FTC's canceling alert is linked there. Any other guide that says ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot can be done in Grok with the same prompt and the same check. Choosing among them is Which AI should I use?. School guides still teach. They do not do the homework. Follow your teacher's rules. Grok's consumer FAQ says the service is not for children under 13.
