About

Grok is the conversational assistant developed by xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company. Powered by the latest generation of Grok models, it answers questions, writes, codes and generates images, with a DeepSearch mode for in-depth research. Its native integration with X (formerly Twitter) gives it real-time access to news and conversations on the network, which sets it clearly apart from rival chatbots.

Key features

  • Real-time access to X posts and news from across the web
  • DeepSearch mode: in-depth multi-source research with synthesized results
  • Think mode for step-by-step reasoning on complex problems
  • Image and short video generation with Grok Imagine
  • Voice mode for spoken conversations on mobile

Frequently asked questions

Can you use Grok for free?

Yes. From grok.com or the X app, the free tier lets you send a limited number of messages, with quotas that change regularly and restricted access to the DeepSearch and Think modes. SuperGrok subscriptions raise those limits substantially and unlock the most advanced models.

What sets Grok apart from ChatGPT?

Grok stands out for its real-time access to X and the news, whereas most chatbots rely on less recent data. Its tone is also deliberately more direct and irreverent. ChatGPT, on the other hand, retains a richer ecosystem of integrations, customization options and third-party tools.
