Elon Musk Unveils Grok AI Chatbot for X Premium Plus Subscribers
Elon Musk's AI startup xAI introduces Grok, a sarcastic chatbot with real-time access to X platform data. The tool will eventually be available to all X Premium Plus subscribers once it exits early beta.
Elon Musk reveals that his new AI startup, xAI, launches an AI chatbot called Grok to compete with systems like ChatGPT. The new chatbot answers questions conversationally and sets itself apart by incorporating real-time access to information directly from the X platform.
Grok includes standard web browsing capabilities but stands out with a uniquely sarcastic and humorous personality that Musk implies he guides personally. The AI system still enforces safety boundaries and refuses to answer sensitive queries, although it handles such restrictions with a notably wry tone.
Access to the AI assistant remains limited during its early beta phase, with xAI currently running a waitlist for a select group of users in the United States. Once the early beta period concludes, Musk states that Grok will become available to all subscribers of the $16 per month X Premium Plus tier.
