What it does

Grok Business is an AI chatbot plan for teams. Staff use it for research, writing, and data analysis, and it can read very long inputs thanks to a large 128,000-token context window. It is xAI's team subscription for its Grok chatbot, and it is self-serve: a company sets it up by verifying its domain and inviting users, with no sales call. Staff can connect it to Google Drive and other apps. The plan includes SOC 2 Type II certification, role-based access control, and one consolidated bill across seats. By default, it does not train xAI's models on customer conversations. A separate Grok Enterprise tier, sold through direct sales, adds single sign-on, SCIM directory sync, custom access controls, and dedicated onboarding.

Where it can help

This fits a team that wants to try an alternative to ChatGPT or Claude for research and drafting, with basic team management and no sales process, since it can be set up directly on xAI's website. It works well as a pilot for a single department. As a planning figure, budget about $30 per seat per month as a self-serve subscription. A company that needs single sign-on, directory sync, or custom access controls should ask xAI about the Enterprise tier instead, since Business lacks those and Enterprise pricing is not public. Because it is newer and self-serve, it has a thinner enterprise track record than longer-established competitors. Confirm current security documentation and support terms before a wider rollout.
