A groundbreaking mobile app for Grok, developed by xAI, is now available on iOS, marking a significant advancement in bringing this AI chatbot beyond the realm of X (formerly Twitter). Currently undergoing beta testing in Australia and select areas, Grok is poised to join the ranks of leading AI chatbot apps such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude.

Utilizing the Grok-2 AI model, the mobile app mirrors the core functionalities of Grok, including text rewriting and summarization, answering queries, and generating images from text cues. It can access real-time data from the internet and X platform. Initially, Grok was exclusive to paid X subscribers; however, xAI recently introduced a free version of the chatbot to all users and is planning to launch a dedicated website, Grok.com, to enhance accessibility.

A unique feature of Grok is its advanced image-generation capability, boasting photorealistic rendering without rigid restrictions on creativity. The app can also analyze images provided by users, offering insights on various subjects, such as plant species or health. Comparatively, the use of the image generator differs from the Flux AI image creator on X, which has faced copyright issues, such as Nintendo’s Tracer pursuing infringement cases.

In light of these developments, Grok’s introduction brings a new dimension to AI chatbot technology, with exciting prospects for users seeking innovative and user-friendly interactions.
