Grok
Witty, rebellious AI with real-time X access
Overview
Grok is an AI chatbot developed by xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company launched in late 2023. It distinguishes itself through witty, rebellious responses and has access to real-time information via the X (formerly Twitter) platform. Available in versions including Grok-1, Grok-1.5, Grok-2, and Grok-3, the assistant is designed to answer questions with humor while tackling controversial topics other AIs might avoid. Users can access Grok through grok.com, X Premium+ subscriptions, and developer APIs.
