Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, is testing out a stand-alone iOS app for its chatbot, Grok, which was available only to X users until now.
The app, currently live in multiple countries, including the U.S., Australia, and India, can access real-time data from the web and X; offers generative AI features like rewriting text, summarizing long paragraphs, a little bit of Q&A; and can generate images from text prompts.
“Grok is an AI-powered assistant designed to be maximally truthful, useful, and curious. Get answers to any question, generate striking images, and upload pictures to gain a deeper understanding of your world,” the listing reads.
xAI is also preparing a dedicated site, Grok.com, to make the chatbot accessible on the web. Currently, the site says “coming soon” when you log in with an xAI account.
Grok was available only to X’s paying subscribers until recently. In November, the company started testing a free version of the chatbot and rolled it out to all users earlier this month.
The company says its chatbot’s image generator model excels at “photorealistic rendering” and doesn’t apply major restrictions on its image-generation capabilities, allowing users to create images using pictures of public figures and copyrighted material.
The story has been updated to reflect that the Grok app has launched in multiple countries in beta.
