xAI Has Introduced the Grok Studio Platform, Offering Enhanced Document and Code Creation

On 16 April 2025, Elon Musk-owned xAI officially announced Grok Studio, a new tool that enhances the Grok AI assistant with code execution functionality and Google Drive support. The new platform enables users to create documents, code, reports, and browser-based games in a split-screen interface, significantly boosting productivity and creativity. Grok Studio is available to both free and premium account holders, unlike OpenAI's Canvas feature, which is accessible only to subscribers.

What makes Grok Studio unique is that content opens in a separate window, allowing collaboration between the user and Grok. The tool can preview HTML snippets and run Python, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript, and bash scripts. Thanks to Google Drive integration, users can attach documents, spreadsheets, and presentations to their Grok prompts, further expanding the range of use cases. According to TechCrunch, this functionality resembles tools like OpenAI's Canvas and Anthropic's Artifacts, which were previously introduced to the market.

While xAI is expanding Grok's capabilities with new tools, the X platform (formerly Twitter) faces privacy issues in Europe. Ireland's Data Protection Commission has launched an investigation into X for allegedly using publicly accessible posts from European users to train the Grok AI model in violation of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The investigation focuses on the lawfulness and transparency of data processing and could result in fines of up to 4% of the company's global revenue. The gravity of the situation is highlighted by X's previous agreement to cease using EU user data for AI training without explicit consent.
