As far as chatbots go (and there are plenty of them), Grok by xAI is a worthy addition. It can carry out research across the web, brainstorm topics with you, and create any sort of image with a simple prompt.
But if you're constantly writing elaborate prompts, sorting through its answers, and moving that data to other tools, you're not utilizing Grok to its full potential. Automation can change that.
With Zapier's automated workflows (called Zaps), you can connect Grok with the rest of your work tools. From enriching leads with online info to creating images from briefs, you can make Grok a hands-on collaborator inside the rest of your tech stack. Here are five ways to get started.
Zapier est la plateforme d’orchestration AI la plus connectée, s’intégrant à des milliers d’applis de partenaires tels que Google, Salesforce et Microsoft. Utilisez des interfaces, des tables de données et de la logique pour créer des systèmes sécurisés, automatisés et alimenté par l'IA pour vos flux de travail critiques pour l'ensemble de la pile technologique de votre organisation.

Enrich lead data
When you get a new lead, it's probably down to your sales team to do a quick background check to gather key details around the company. That information helps tailor your outreach (and informs sales conversations), but let's be real: carrying out that research manually simply doesn't scale.
That's where Grok shines. Since it can access real-time data from across the web (including X), it can scan for useful context about a company, like recent announcements or industry-specific challenges your leads are looking to solve.
That's useful in itself. But by connecting Grok to Zapier, you can automate this research the moment a lead enters your pipeline. For example, when a lead is added to your CRM or they submit their details through a form, Grok will carry out that research online. Zapier then adds those insights to the lead's record in your CRM or logs them in a spreadsheet for your team to review.

Générer et partager du contenu
If you're a content writer or editor, you know that creating outlines can be one of the most labor-intensive parts of the process. You need to research the topic, define a structure, and make sure it aligns with your content brief or SEO goals.
It's essential work, but those manual systems aren't exactly built for speed or scale.
With these Zaps, you can trigger Grok to generate a detailed outline from information (like blog titles or keywords) stored in Airtable or another project management tool. Zapier can then send that outline to your team in Slack, save it in a Google Doc, or drop it into Notion for review. That way, your content engine keeps running without the bottlenecks.

Track trending topics
Keeping up with trending topics can feel like a full-time job, but it's essential if you want your brand to stay top of mind with content that taps into the cultural zeitgeist. From social media posts that let you join the conversation in real time to timely promotions that align with trending hashtags, staying current gives your content the edge it needs to resonate.
But you and your team probably can't afford to doomscroll the day away. It's a job better left to AI so you can focus on delivering real impact. With these Zap templates, you can have Grok perform internet research for you on an hourly, daily, or weekly schedule and then deliver any trends to you directly in a Slack channel or dedicated spreadsheet.

Generate images
Need visuals for your webinars or presentations? Grok can also whip up hyper-realistic photos and custom designs to level up your content.
Even better, you can use Zapier to automatically send prompts straight from tools like Trello or Google Sheets to Grok, then have the finished visuals dropped right back into your project management tool or spreadsheet.
It's a faster way to bring your ideas to life without relying on generic stock images or putting pressure on your design team.

Extract data from images
Need to pull useful information from images on a regular basis? Maybe you're analyzing screenshots of reports, reviewing graphs, or handling receipts for your finance tools.
Manually extracting that valuable information from screenshots and uploads leaves you wide open to error. Plus, it also makes it harder to trust your records, especially at scale.
Instead, you can use automation and AI to do the work for you. Whenever an image or file gets uploaded to Google Drive or QuickBooks, Grok can analyze the contents of the image and extract key information. Zapier will then send that data wherever you need it, like into a spreadsheet or as a Slack message.
