Built for batch generation on grok.com, not for scheduled Tasks
A quick disambiguation, because “Grok automation” can mean two different things.
If you are looking for xAI’s own scheduled prompts — daily digests, recurring reports, cron-style queries delivered by email — that feature lives at grok.com/tasks and ships with a SuperGrok subscription.
This page is about something different. The Grok Automation Chrome extension does not schedule prompts in the cloud. It sits in your browser, talks to the grok.com UI on your behalf, and runs batch image and video generation jobs at scale, with auto-download and project organization. If that is what you came for, you are in the right place.
What Grok Automation does in one queue
Auto-submit prompts at scale
Paste a list of prompts, configure a delay, and the extension submits them one by one without you touching the keyboard. The queue scales to hundreds of prompts per session, so an overnight batch becomes a realistic workflow rather than a wishlist.
Auto-download images and videos
Every successful result is fetched the moment it is ready. No more right-click-save-as. The extension renames files, sequences them, and drops them into the correct folder so your downloads stay searchable instead of a wall of (1).mp4.
Auto-organize into project folders
Each batch becomes a project. Images, videos, and metadata land in a project-named folder under your Downloads directory, so a campaign or storyboard is one folder you can hand to an editor without cleanup.
Five generation modes, one Chrome extension
Grok Imagine has multiple input modalities. The Grok Automation Chrome extension supports all five and lets you batch every one of them.
Text-to-Video
Submit a list of text prompts and the extension generates videos sequentially, with optional Concat mode that stitches consecutive clips into one long file. Useful for storyboards, b-roll, and YouTube Shorts pipelines.
Frame-to-Video
Feed a still image (the “frame”) and a motion prompt; the extension produces an animated clip. Batch it across a folder of stills to animate an entire shot list overnight.
Ingredients-to-Video
Combine multiple images — characters, props, settings — into a single video. Ideal for consistent-character storytelling where the same protagonist needs to appear across many shots.
Text-to-Image
Queue dozens or hundreds of prompts and the extension batch-generates images across 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 2:3, and 3:2 aspect ratios. Perfect for thumbnails, ad creative, and cover art at production volume.
Image-to-Image
Provide a reference image and a transformation prompt to generate variants in batch — palette swaps, style transfers, expression edits — without re-uploading the source image each time.
Smart delay, Concat, and queue at scale
Bulk generation only works if it survives rate limits and partial failures. The Grok Automation Chrome extension is built around three primitives.
Smart delay against rate limits
A configurable delay sits between submissions so the extension does not get throttled by grok.com. Defaults are tuned for the current Grok Imagine rate envelope; you can lengthen the delay when running unattended overnight.
Concat mode for stitched videos
When a single Grok video is too short for your shot, enable Concat mode and the extension chains generations into one continuous clip. This is a superset of frame-chain loops: you can drive it from text, from frames, or from ingredients.
Auto-upscale on completion
Toggle “Upscale Result” and every successful generation is automatically resubmitted for high-quality upscaling, then downloaded. One queue, two passes, zero clicks.
Install in two clicks
From the Chrome Web Store
Open the Chrome Web Store listing and click Add to Chrome. No developer mode, no unpacked folders, no manifest tweaking. Listing goes live as soon as Grok Automation passes Chrome Web Store review.
First-run checklist
- Sign in to grok.com in the same Chrome profile.
- Open the extension popup and pick a generation mode.
- Paste your prompts (one per line) or import a
.txtfile, then press Start.
That is the whole onboarding. The queue runs until your prompt list is empty.
Grok Automation vs. AutoGrok, Imagine Loop, Grok Tasks
A clean comparison, because “Grok Chrome extension” returns a small zoo of tools that all sound similar on the surface.
| Capability | Grok Automation | AutoGrok | Grok Imagine Loop | Grok Tasks (xAI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Distribution | Chrome Web Store | Chrome Web Store | GitHub, dev mode | Built into grok.com |
| Pricing | Free, optional in-app upgrades | Paid subscription after trial | Free, open source | Requires SuperGrok |
| Batch text-to-video | Yes | Yes | Limited to loop chains | No |
| Batch text-to-image, multi-ratio | Yes (5 ratios) | Yes | No | No |
| Frame-to-Video | Yes | Partial | Yes (loop only) | No |
| Ingredients-to-Video | Yes | No | No | No |
| Image-to-Image | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Concat (stitched output) | Yes | No | Frame-chain only | No |
| Auto-download into folders | Yes | Yes | Yes | N/A |
| Scheduled prompts | No | No | No | Yes |
If you need official scheduled prompts, use Grok Tasks. If you need batch generation of images and videos on grok.com, Grok Automation is the most complete option.
Who uses Grok Automation
YouTube and Shorts creators
Storyboard a series, hand the prompts to the extension, and wake up to a folder of clips ready for the editor. Concat mode is the killer feature here: one queue produces a continuous sequence rather than a hundred isolated fragments.
Cross-border ecommerce teams
Generate localized thumbnails, lifestyle imagery, and short demo videos for each SKU and locale. The aspect-ratio batch (1:1 for marketplaces, 9:16 for ads, 16:9 for hero images) covers every ad placement in one run.
Course and book cover designers
Iterate on hundreds of cover variants for split tests. Text-to-Image with controlled ratios plus Image-to-Image for stylistic variants gives a designer a full afternoon of options before lunch.
Independent content creators
Solo creators get the most leverage. The extension turns Grok Imagine into a production pipeline that you supervise instead of operate, which is the only realistic way to keep up with daily publishing schedules.
Privacy, data, and your xAI account
Everything runs locally in your browser
The Grok Automation Chrome extension automates the grok.com UI from inside your own Chrome session. Prompts, generated images, and generated videos never leave your machine through this extension. There is no telemetry sink that captures your prompt text.
Independent of xAI
Grok Automation is an independent browser extension. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by xAI Corp. Grok™ is a trademark of xAI Corp. Use of the extension is subject to your existing agreement with xAI for grok.com.
Frequently asked questions
Is Grok Automation free?
Yes. The Grok Automation Chrome extension is free to install from the Chrome Web Store, with optional in-app upgrades for advanced features. The core batch workflow — auto-submit, auto-download, project folders, all five generation modes — works without payment.
Does it work with the free Grok plan or do I need SuperGrok?
The extension drives whatever Grok plan you are signed in with. If your account is on the free tier, the extension still batches prompts; you simply hit Grok’s free-tier rate limits sooner. SuperGrok and X Premium accounts get higher throughput because grok.com itself does.
Can xAI ban my account for using a batch automation extension?
The extension automates the grok.com UI from inside your own browser, much like keyboard macros. Use it within the terms of service you accepted with xAI. If you queue thousands of prompts a day or attempt to bypass paid tiers, you are taking on the same risk you would by doing the same volume manually. We recommend reasonable batch sizes and the default smart delay.
Does the extension upload my prompts or images to a server?
No. Automation logic runs locally in your Chrome browser. Prompts and generated media stay on your machine. See the privacy section above for the full statement.
How is this different from the built-in Grok Tasks at grok.com/tasks?
Grok Tasks schedules prompts to run on xAI’s servers at a fixed cadence and emails you the result. Grok Automation runs interactively in your browser to batch-generate images and videos on grok.com — including modes (Frame-to-Video, Ingredients-to-Video, Image-to-Image) that Tasks does not address.
Does it support Edge, Brave, or Arc?
The extension ships through the Chrome Web Store and works on Chromium-based browsers that accept Chrome Web Store extensions, including current versions of Edge, Brave, and Arc. Chrome remains the primary supported environment.
How many prompts can I queue in one batch?
The queue scales to hundreds of prompts per session. Practical batch size depends on your Grok plan’s daily limits and the delay you configure. Most creators run overnight queues of 100–500 prompts.
What aspect ratios are supported for image and video?
Image generation supports 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 2:3, and 3:2. Video generation uses Grok Imagine’s current native ratios. The extension exposes whatever ratios grok.com itself supports at any given time.
What happens if a single prompt in the batch fails?
The queue records the failure and continues. Failed prompts are flagged so you can rerun just the misses instead of restarting the whole batch.
Does the extension work on grok.com only, or also on x.com?
Grok Automation targets grok.com, where the Imagine generation UI lives. It is not designed to automate the Grok integration inside x.com.
Get the Chrome extension
The fastest way to evaluate the Grok Automation Chrome extension is to install it, paste five prompts, and watch one batch run to completion.
