> xAI shipped a free Grok add-on for Sheets, Slides, and Docs via the Workspace Marketplace—one install, optional email/Drive connectors. Productivity-suite parity with Microsoft 365 add-ins; same-day Opus 5 and open-weights letter noise buried a concrete GTM ship.

Suite embeds are how assistants become default work surface, not a separate tab. Shipping **Workspace** the same day as **Claude Opus 5** and the **open-weights policy letter** buried a concrete GTM ship under bigger headlines.

**xAI** launched **Grok in Google Workspace**: a **free** Marketplace add-on that puts Grok beside open files in **Sheets**, **Slides**, and **Docs**. One install covers all three. The product sits alongside earlier **Microsoft 365** add-ins (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).

## What shipped

| App | Capabilities (x.ai primary) |
|-----|-----------------------------|
| **Sheets** | Q&A grounded in the sheet with cell citations; write/fill formulas; insert charts; rerun scenarios when assumptions change; edits are normal undoable sheet changes |
| **Slides** | Outline → working deck; web/X research; diagrams/images; extend decks in existing theme; editable slides (not a dead export) |
| **Docs** | Notes → structured draft; in-place grammar/style; **connectors** can pull recent email or Google Drive files |

| Item | Detail |
|------|--------|
| **Price** | **Free** add-on |
| **Install** | [Google Workspace Marketplace — Grok](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/grok/660927092109) |
| **Scope** | One install → Sheets + Slides + Docs |

Distinct from **Grok Build** / **Build Mode** (coding agents and hosted app builders) and from **Grok Automations**. This is the **productivity-suite embed** lane—parity with xAI’s Microsoft 365 add-in stack on the Google side.

## Limits

- Connector depth and enterprise admin controls are product-described, not independently reviewed here.
- Whether Google surfaces Grok in Workspace AI pickers alongside Gemini is unannounced.
- Free add-on; paid SuperGrok feature gates (if any) are not detailed in the primary.
