Grok
Grok
Fast answers with real-time news from X and the web, plus image and short video creation in the app; the free version has usage limits.
xAI's AI assistant: chat, deep search with real-time data from X and the web, image and short video generation, and voice conversations.
Overview
Grok is an AI assistant built by xAI, available on the web (grok.com), on iOS and Android, and inside the X social network. Its biggest difference is real-time information from X and the web, which makes it a good fit for following news, trends and community reactions.
Beyond chat, Grok has a Think mode for hard questions, DeepSearch to find and summarise many sources on its own, Imagine to create images and short videos with sound from a description or an existing photo, and a voice mode that can use your camera so Grok sees what you see.
The free version has usage limits; paid SuperGrok plans raise the limits and unlock more features. Plan prices change fairly often, so check the official site before buying.
