Recently, news about xAI developing a new file editor has attracted widespread attention. This editor not only supports text files but will also have spreadsheet capabilities, marking an important step for xAI in its competition with tech giants like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. According to leaked information from reverse engineer Nima Owji, users can interact with Grok while editing files, which will undoubtedly improve work efficiency.

Previously, xAI launched Grok Studio in April 2025, a split-screen workspace that allows users to collaborate with Grok to create documents, code, reports, and web games. Additionally, Grok now includes the ability to create workspaces, enabling users to organize files and conversations in one place. These initiatives demonstrate xAI's emphasis on building interactive, multimodal AI workspaces.

In contrast, Google's Gemini Workspace is also developing similar features. Google's tool allows editing in documents and spreadsheets and enables users to have conversations with Gemini while editing, but this feature is limited to Google's ecosystem. In comparison, xAI has not yet clearly stated what types of files its editor will support or whether it will develop a complete productivity suite to compete with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office365.

If Owji's findings are accurate, this advanced editor will further advance Elon Musk's goal of turning the social platform X into a "all-in-one app," which includes functions such as documents, chat, payments, and social media. xAI is striving to promote work efficiency through technological innovation and aims to secure a place in the fierce market competition.
