Introducing Grok for Microsoft Word

What's new

• Free M365 add-in: for Word, Excel and PowerPoint (side panel).
• Live web research: xAI search + Brave + Bing, with inline source attributions directly in the document.
• Real-time X (Twitter) lookups: direct access to live posts from inside the document.
• Mermaid diagrams: generate flowcharts, timelines, sequence diagrams.
• Connectors: email, SharePoint, Google Drive as context sources.

Why it matters

Direct competition to Microsoft Copilot on its own turf — the first major third-party LLM with native placement in Office's side panel. For users on M365 who won't pay for Copilot Pro it's a free alternative with different strengths (X data, Brave search).

How to try it

Microsoft Marketplace, free for any M365 account.
