Grok use cases for work

Use Grok for current-topic exploration and fast conversational research. Start with a one-off task, then make it recurring only when the inputs, output and review gate are stable.

Grok fits rapid first-pass research and drafting where sources are checked before use. Its honest limit: recurring business operations and connected-tool actions need separate setup.
