Automations in Grok
Useful if you have a task you do on a schedule or in response to a trigger — like checking a file, pulling a report, or acting on new data — Automations lets Grok run that job independently using your files, connectors and skills, and keeps a history of what it did. That turns a recurring manual chore into something that runs itself and leaves an audit trail you can check later.
What changed

What to try next
Pick one recurring file check or report pull you do manually, and set it up as a Grok Automation so it runs itself and keeps a history you can check later.
