xAI Takes Grok Into the Enterprise With New Business Plans

Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has expanded its Grok AI platform with two new tiers aimed at businesses — Grok Business and Grok Enterprise — designed to bring advanced AI capabilities securely into organizational workflows. These plans offer enterprise-grade features, stronger data protections, and administrative controls to support teams of all sizes.

  • Grok Business is a $30/seat/month plan for small to medium teams with secure AI access and team management tools.

  • Grok Enterprise adds advanced security, identity, and admin controls for larger organizations.

  • Both tiers promise enterprise-grade data protections, including SOC 2 compliance and encryption, and business data isn’t used to train models.

  • They include access to powerful Grok models (Grok 3, Grok 4, Grok 4 Heavy) and integrations like Google Drive.

  • xAI also offers an Enterprise Vault option with isolated data planes and customer-managed encryption keys for heightened security.

The launch represents xAI’s push to compete more directly in the enterprise AI tools market, moving beyond consumer applications to provide organizations with scalable, secure AI solutions that integrate with their workflows. Early adopters can now leverage these capabilities to enhance collaboration, automate tasks, and extract insights from internal data while maintaining strict controls over privacy and compliance.

PMNA TUTORIAL: How To Build a Client Onboarding Workflow with Notion, Typeform, and Zapier

Client onboarding can be repetitive and prone to errors when done manually. This tutorial walks you through building an automated onboarding workflow using Typeform, Notion, and Zapier. The result is a smooth, professional experience for both your clients and your internal team—without writing a single line of code.

You’ll learn how to:
  • Create a structured onboarding template in Notion with placeholders for client info.

  • Build a Typeform to collect essential client details like name, service type, and start date.

  • Set up a Zap in Zapier triggered by new Typeform submissions.

  • Use Zapier to duplicate your Notion template and fill it with data from the Typeform.

  • (Optional) Send Slack or email notifications to alert your team or welcome the client.

Why it matters:

With this no-code setup, you eliminate onboarding bottlenecks and create a scalable system that grows with your business. Clients feel well-supported from day one, and your team stays informed and organized. It’s a simple but powerful upgrade to your workflow—built with tools you already know.

OpenAI Tests Skills Feature to Make ChatGPT More Modular and Powerful

OpenAI is reportedly testing a major update to ChatGPT that could replace the current Custom GPTs system with a new modular Skills framework, marking a shift toward more composable and portable AI capabilities. The Skills feature aims to make it easier to combine and reuse discrete abilities across the platform, potentially launching in early 2026.

  • The new Skills system would move beyond role-based GPTs to modular, reusable capability units.

  • Skills are designed to load on-demand, reducing context usage and improving efficiency.

  • Support for executing code within Skills could enhance logic-driven and reliable task performance.

  • Features might include slash-command interactions and a dedicated editor for creating/combining Skills.

  • The project—internally known as Hazelnut—could launch in early 2026 and shift ChatGPT toward an “AI platform” model.

This evolution reflects OpenAI’s broader strategy to make ChatGPT more flexible, powerful, and integrated with complex workflows rather than being limited to preset GPT roles. By enabling modular Skills that can be mixed and reused, ChatGPT may become a more capable and developer-friendly platform, better equipped to support advanced automation and task execution across contexts.

Inspiration by Mind Dock Gives Project Managers a Real-Time Map of AI Trends

Inspiration by Mind Dock is a free, web-based AI intelligence platform that aggregates live trends, research, models, and repository activity into a unified dashboard. It creates a consolidated AI Data Map by pulling signals from multiple public sources like HuggingFace, ArXiv, and GitHub, giving users a centralized view of what’s happening across the broader AI landscape.

  • Live Trend Aggregation – Combines real-time signals from major AI sources such as HuggingFace, ArXiv, and GitHub.

  • AI Data Map – Presents models, papers, and repository activity in a single, searchable view.

  • Unified Discovery Feed – Helps users quickly spot emerging AI developments without visiting separate feeds.

  • Free Access – Available at no cost, lowering the barrier for researchers and product teams to stay informed.

  • Broad Scope of Signals – Surfaces varied content from technical research to trending models and tech news, aiding comprehensive insight gathering.

Inspiration by Mind Dock offers a streamlined way to keep a pulse on the fast-moving AI ecosystem — helping them identify emerging technologies, research trends, and community activity without the distraction of jumping between multiple siloed sources. By centralizing diverse AI signals into one feed, project managers can make more informed strategic decisions, discover opportunities earlier, and align product roadmaps with evolving capabilities and trends in AI research and development.
