Kevin Stratvert Shows How to Use Grok From Sign-Up to Building an App

A beginner tutorial that covers research, writing, images, document analysis and connecting Grok to other apps.

What you'll learn

• Create a Grok account and find your way around the interface
• Ask questions and research products or topics with follow-ups
• Draft emails, social posts and scripts, then refine them
• Summarize PDFs and images and pull out action items
• Connect Grok to other apps, such as Zapier, to automate workflows
• Look up trending topics on X

According to the tutorial page on Kevin Stratvert's site, this walkthrough starts with creating an account and using Grok for free, then moves through research, image and video generation with Grok Imagine, writing, and document analysis. It also shows how to link Grok to other apps and automation tools such as Zapier.

After watching, try one real task: give Grok a PDF you already have, such as a vendor contract or a report, and ask for a summary and a list of next steps. Then check the result against the original.
