Research scope & testing evidence
Our evaluation
Grok is most interesting when the task benefits from following a live public conversation and then checking it against original material. Access to web and X search can make it useful for locating leads, but a fluent synthesis of posts is still only a lead. I would ask it to separate primary evidence, commentary and uncertain claims, then inspect the important links. The paid decision should follow the amount of search, voice or media work you actually need, because higher tiers mainly change access and usage. Connected capabilities also introduce a permissions decision before they introduce productivity. If the job is a stable internal brief, compare how well the assistant preserves your source context rather than choosing it simply because it can see recent discussion.
