Single Agent or Grok Build Workflows? A Multi-Agent Orchestration Selection Guide
SpaceXAI announced Grok Build Workflows on July 23, 2026 for turning complex requests into phased orchestration scripts, distributing work to independent agents, adding verification, and combining results in a background run. The vendor says a standard run can use a budget of 128 agents and larger jobs can reach 1,024, while progress can be saved and useful workflows stored in project or user directories. The built-in deep-research workflow also divides investigation, verification, and cited reporting. Do not choose by concurrency alone. A single agent fits small tasks with tightly shared state and continuous judgment. Workflows fit partitionable reviews, research, triage, and audits only when each part has acceptance evidence, bounded permissions, budget, stop conditions, and final human review.
