Grok profile
Built for the messy, early stage of the idea.
Grok is a better fit when the team is still searching for tone, camera energy, framing, or platform format. It gives you more room to explore before you commit.
Veo profile
Built for the moment the draft needs to look finished.
Veo 3.1 is the stronger choice when clarity, polish, and upscale options matter more than experimentation volume.
