Grok Build Adds "Workflows" for Running Complex Tasks Across Parallel Agents

xAI has added “Workflows” to Grok Build, its coding agent tool. The feature lets users describe a complex task in plain language, and the system fans the work out across multiple parallel agents to execute it.

Details

• Parallel processing: Tasks are fanned out across hundreds of parallel agents, with budgets of up to 1,024 agents for large jobs
• Automatic planning: Grok creates and smoke-tests a task script before execution, eliminating the need for manual scripting
• Progress tracking: Use the /workflows command to monitor execution, viewing each phase and per-agent token counts
• Reusable workflows: Saved workflows become custom slash commands (like /pr-review 5137) that can be shared team-wide or kept personal
• Built-in tool: /deep-research ships pre-configured for parallel investigation with source verification

How to try it

• Describe a multi-faceted task in Grok Build — such as a PR review, triaging 100+ issues, or a codebase vulnerability audit — in plain language to get started
• Save resulting workflows and share them with your team
