Grok Goes Enterprise as xAI Targets Business Use

xAI has officially entered the chat for business users. The company just rolled out two new subscription tiers, Grok Business and Grok Enterprise, aimed at bringing its AI models into everyday workplace use with security, privacy, and administrative controls built in.

The move lands xAI squarely in the middle of the crowded market for enterprise AI tools, similar to offerings from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others. For xAI, it’s also a shift from individual experimentation toward shared, organizational use.

What xAI is offering businesses: self-service, easy billing, and enterprise privacy

Grok Business is aimed at small to mid-sized teams and costs $30 per user per month. It’s set up to be easy to get started, with self-serve onboarding and built-in tools for managing teams, sharing conversations, handling billing in one spot, and keeping an eye on usage. 

Teams can work together directly inside Grok, share results, and connect everyday tools like Google Drive so the AI can work with the information they already use.

Grok Enterprise takes that same foundation and extends it for larger organizations. Pricing isn’t publicly posted, but the focus is on tighter controls and more oversight. That includes things like company-wide login support, automated user management, and more intense audit and security features designed for bigger, more complex environments.

xAI says both plans are built with enterprise security and privacy in mind. In its announcement, the company emphasized, “We’re putting Grok in the hands of employees everywhere, with enterprise security and privacy built in from the ground up.” It also stated, “Your data stays yours: no training on it, ever.”

Agentic search and working with company data

One of the more notable features is Grok’s ability to work across large internal document sets. Grok supports agentic search via xAI’s Collections API via Projects, enabling the model to treat a large document repository as its primary source.

“This is useful for when Grok needs to use a large document store as a primary source, such as a data room for analyzing legal documentation or building financial models,” xAI explained. Responses can include citations that link directly back to source documents, with previews and highlighted sections for context.

Permission awareness is enforced by design, meaning Grok follows existing access rules when connecting to tools like Google Drive.

Security, compliance, and Enterprise Vault

For organizations with more demanding security needs, xAI also offers an option called Enterprise Vault. It gives companies more control over how their data is handled, with dedicated infrastructure, added layers of encryption, and encryption keys that the customer, not xAI, manages. 

The company says the data is encrypted both while it’s in motion and while it’s stored.

The Enterprise tier also checks the boxes that many large organizations now expect, including SOC 2 compliance and alignment with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. It also opens up access to xAI’s more advanced models, such as Grok 3, Grok 4, and Grok 4 Heavy.

Behind the scenes, xAI is continuing to scale up the infrastructure needed to support all of this, including a third data center being built near Memphis. 

A recent Channel Insider report highlights how enterprises are moving past AI pilots and focusing on tools that fit into real workflows. That shift mirrors xAI’s push with Grok Business and Grok Enterprise, which are designed to take AI from individual use to something teams can actually rely on day to day.
