Elon Musk confirms that xAI's Grok chatbot launches to all X Premium+ subscribers next week. App researcher Nima Owji shares screenshots showing the integration already taking shape within X's web app, featuring a dedicated "Ask Grok" text entry box and prompts for non-subscribers to upgrade to the premium tier.
Grok serves as Musk's answer to competitors like ChatGPT and Bard by offering a distinct personality with a rebellious streak and a touch of wit. The chatbot promises to answer spicy questions that other AI systems reject, while also utilizing real-time knowledge pulled directly from posts on the X platform.
This AI addition represents a strategic move to boost sign-ups for X's revamped subscription service, which currently offers multiple tiers including a Premium+ level. By bundling exclusive AI access with existing perks like verification, longer posts, and fewer ads, X hopes to attract more paying users to its platform.
