Grok Connect
Grok answered a question with label Label
Grok Connect
Let your home think before it acts
Grok Connect brings the reasoning of xAI's Grok models into your Flows, so your home can weigh up the situation before it acts. Ask whether now is a good moment to start the washing machine and get a real yes or no back, together with how certain Grok is and why. Let it pick the best scene from your own list, suggest a thermostat temperature within the range you allow, describe who is standing at the door from a camera snapshot, or turn long texts into a short sentence for your speaker. When fresh information matters, Grok can look things up on the web or on X first.
Every answer is also available in standard Flows, so you do not need Advanced Flows to use it, and you stay in control of what it costs: a daily limit, usage statistics and a spending condition keep your xAI bill predictable. You need your own xAI API key, which you enter in the app settings.
