xAI’s Grok AI chatbot will soon come to Google Play Store

Elon Musk’s AI company xAI will soon release the Grok AI chatbot through the Google Play Store, with people able to use the app for free without needing to sign in.

Grok is an AI chatbot similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which Musk integrated with his social media platform X (previously Twitter). Grok can answer questions, generate images, summarise profiles, and suggest questions to get more context on X posts.

However, Grok has been criticised for its lack of content filters, meaning that users have been able to generate images of real people, copyrighted characters, and violent scenes.

Conversation history is a feature that will come soon, according to the official listing.

“Grok is an AI-powered assistant, developed by xAI, 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. With Grok, the universe is in your hands!” stated the app bio for the Grok AI chatbot on the Google Play Store.
