xAI Tests Grok Chatbot App for iOS: A New Step in AI Development

xAI, the company founded by Elon Musk, has started testing a new standalone app with the Grok chatbot for iOS. This app will not require users to have a 𝕏 account, although it is currently only available through Musk's platform. The app is expected to be available to a wider audience in the future.

As reported by TechCrunch, the beta version of the app is already being tested in certain countries, including Australia. The app is based on the Grok 2 AI model, and it is currently available for free to users.

Features of Grok 2 AI

Grok 2 AI offers several useful features that make it a versatile assistant for everyday tasks:

Image generation — the ability to create visual elements using artificial intelligence.

Text management — the bot can help with text correction, rewriting, and adapting it for different purposes.

Summarizing long texts — Grok can effectively condense large volumes of information, providing clear and concise summaries.

As the developers state, Grok is positioned as an AI assistant that aims to be as helpful, truthful, and curious as possible. Users will not only be able to get answers to questions but also create images and upload photos to gain a deeper understanding of their world.

The Future of Grok: Web Version and Expanded Capabilities

In addition to the mobile app, xAI is preparing a web version of Grok, which will be available at Grok.com. This will allow users to interact with the chatbot via a browser, expanding accessibility and functionality. Currently, Grok is only available on the 𝕏 social network and is used for free, but its functionality is not yet available in all regions.

Thus, xAI continues to develop its AI platform and plans to offer users a new tool for working with text and images, which could become not only a convenient but also a powerful assistant in everyday life.
