Grok: best integrations for productivity suites and enterprise workflows

The expansion of Grok into productivity ecosystems reflects a strategy aimed at embedding conversational assistance directly into workplace tools. Recent releases show that Grok’s integrations are moving beyond simple chat and entering structured applications across documents, spreadsheets, design, customer service, and software development.

Google Workspace integration delivers side-panel productivity.

Inside Docs, Sheets, and Slides, Grok is accessible through a side-panel chat. Users can summarise long documents, rewrite selected sections, and automatically create formula explanations in spreadsheets. In Slides, outlines are transformed into full presentations with generated speaker notes. The service has been generally available since April and is offered in Plus, Pro, and Enterprise plans.

Benchmarks indicate that summarising a 10-page document averages 2.4 seconds, and creating a 10-slide deck averages 3.2 seconds. Data is processed within the user’s chosen region, ensuring compliance with organisational requirements.

Microsoft 365 integration extends drafting and analysis.

The Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint add-in provides inline drafting support, formula builders for spreadsheets, and automatic slide creation from outlines. Citations can be inserted directly into drafts, making the tool useful for academic and enterprise work.

Integration with sensitivity labels ensures that documents with confidential markings maintain proper handling. Daily quotas of 8,000 calls per tenant apply, with enterprise-level tenants receiving higher priority queues.

Slack and collaboration tools enable real-time conversation.

The Slack Grok App allows /grok commands within channels and DMs. Users can request thread digests, generate suggested replies, and extract key action items. Each free plan is limited to 50 calls per day, while Pro and Enterprise tiers allow up to 5,000 per day. Median latency in live tests is around 1.9 seconds for a 100-message thread.

A similar model applies to Asana Quick Tasks and Jira Cloud Assist, where Grok proposes subtasks, grooms backlogs, and drafts issue summaries. These integrations provide immediate value in project management contexts where information density is high.

Notion, Figma, and design-oriented tools receive structured support.

The Notion Booster integration allows Grok to summarise long pages, extract task lists, and export table data into chart-ready JSON formats. The Figma Copy Helper focuses on micro-copy, alt-text, and multilingual variations of design text, supporting accessibility and localisation requirements.

Both integrations are offered in Plus and Pro plans, with latencies generally under 3 seconds for page or file operations.

Developer and IT platforms expand Grok’s enterprise scope.

For engineering teams, the GitHub Pull-Request Bot reviews code changes, inserts lint comments, and generates test-plan checklists. Although still in preview, the bot is being evaluated for scalability in large repositories.

In enterprise IT, the ServiceNow Incident Copilot can draft incident narratives, suggest likely root causes, and query knowledge bases for resolutions. Logged events feed into Microsoft Fabric dashboards for analysis.

Integration quotas and benchmarks vary across connectors.

Connector	Calls per minute	Daily cap	Median latency
Google Workspace	120	10,000	2.4 seconds (Docs)
Microsoft 365	90	8,000	3.2 seconds (PowerPoint deck)
Slack App	40 (10 free)	5,000	1.9 seconds (thread digest)
Jira Assist	60	4,000	2.6 seconds (50-ticket backlog)
ServiceNow	50	3,000	2.8 seconds (incident draft)

These figures confirm that most productivity connectors provide sub-3-second responses, which is acceptable for interactive workflows.

Security and governance features support enterprise adoption.

Each connector is built on granular OAuth scopes, meaning organisations can restrict Grok’s access to read-only or full read/write. Data-residency locks ensure that content is processed in specific regions such as US, EU, or APAC. A no-train flag prevents connector content from being used for model learning, and all activity is logged with identifiers such as object ID, latency, and token usage.

This set of features makes Grok suitable for highly regulated industries where governance is a priority.

Known limitations and work-arounds exist for large-scale use.

When working with Excel sheets over 10,000 rows, Grok’s formula helper often times out. Splitting into smaller ranges or moving data to Sheets resolves the issue. In Slack, videos cannot be summarised, but extracting key frames as images provides a workaround. Jira integrations sometimes duplicate labels, which can be corrected by custom field mapping.

During European peak hours, latency can rise above 5 seconds, though upgrading to Enterprise or rescheduling prompts alleviates the problem.

Roadmap promises deeper integrations across business tools.

The upcoming Confluence Plugin will support page summaries and broken-link detection. A Salesforce Knowledge Assistant is scheduled for pilot release in early 2026, providing case summaries and suggested articles. An OpenAPI auto-connector is also in development, which will allow users to upload an API schema and have Grok automatically generate a connector.

These developments suggest that Grok is positioning itself as a universal productivity layer, embedding reasoning and summarisation into the daily tools of both individuals and enterprises.
