What is it?

About xAI

xAI is one of the Dev / SCM / CI / IaC platforms BeforeQuery connects to. Once linked, the platform's data becomes a first-class source for grounded AI answers and a target for policy-gated agent actions — the same identity, approval, and audit-log guarantees every other integration ships with.

Setup

How to connect xAI

  1. Step 01

    In the BeforeQuery dashboard, go to Integrations → Dev / SCM / CI / IaC and select xAI.

  2. Step 02

    Sign in to xAI with an account that has permissions to grant BeforeQuery the Dev / SCM / CI / IaC scopes required.

  3. Step 03

    Confirm the connection. xAI is now available as a source and action target for every playbook in your workspace.

  • 04

    Draft PR summaries, issue triage notes, and post-mortem drafts grounded in xAI activity.

Use cases

What teams actually do with the xAI integration

Engineering knowledge Q&A

Engineers ask "how does auth work in our stack?" → BeforeQuery answers from the exact xAI README + code comments that document it. Onboarding speed doubles; senior engineers stop repeating themselves.

PR-summary drafts

New PR opened in xAI → BeforeQuery drafts a summary grounded in the diff, related issues, and prior similar PRs. Reviewer opens the PR with context already framed.

Issue triage

Every new xAI issue gets categorized (bug, feature, question), routed to the right team, and — if it looks like a known-bug pattern — linked to the prior fix. Triage cycle drops from hours to seconds.

Answer questions grounded in xAI

Employees and customers ask xAI-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact xAI record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into Dev / SCM / CI / IaC to check" round-trips.

xAI — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to xAI.

No. Your code is indexed for your workspace's own retrieval — never used to train shared models. Bring-your-own-model deployments (self-hosted) available on Enterprise if you want inference to stay in your infrastructure.
Yes on approval. Merges are always human-approved; auto-merge is available only for specific playbooks (e.g., "auto-merge Dependabot PRs that pass CI + have no code owner"), gated by your matrix.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where xAI supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your xAI data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every xAI integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific xAI objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch xAI for real.
