Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up and customize a Grok Project from scratch.

Quick summary

Grok Projects let you create dedicated AI workspaces with custom instructions, a selectable AI model, and uploaded source files so every conversation stays focused on your specific context. Once configured, you can immediately start sending prompts in the project's chat workspace to get tailored, context-aware responses.

Steps

On Grok's main dashboard, open the left-side panel and click Projects.
Find and open the specific project you want to use.
Click the Edit button next to the Instructions tab, enter your custom instruction in the input field, and optionally change the default AI model to your preferred one.
Click the Sources tab and upload any relevant files you want the project to reference.
Head to the main workspace and type your prompts into the chat box to start using your customized Grok project.

📌 Why this matters

Grok Projects give users a persistent, customizable AI workspace that retains specific instructions and source files across every conversation, eliminating the need to re-explain context each session. By letting users select their preferred AI model and upload relevant documents directly into a project, Grok ensures responses are consistently accurate and aligned with real business or personal workflows. This feature is especially valuable for teams and power users who need a reliable, context-aware AI assistant without repetitive setup. Grok Projects make it faster and easier to get high-quality, on-topic AI outputs from the moment a conversation begins.
