Overview

Grok is xAI's conversational AI assistant for chat, reasoning, coding, real-time search, image generation, video generation, and voice workflows.

Read detailed overview
Grok is xAI's AI assistant available through Grok.com, mobile apps, X, business workspaces, and the xAI API. It supports chat, writing, coding, real-time web and X search, image input, image generation, video generation, voice features, and developer workflows through API access. From an expert-review perspective, Grok is notable for its close connection to X search, real-time information workflows, and multimodal product direction. xAI positions the Grok API as a unified platform for text, reasoning, voice, vision, search, image generation, and video generation. Grok is well-suited for individual users who want a conversational assistant with current-events awareness, developers building AI products on xAI models, and businesses that need team workspaces, connectors, role controls, compliance options, and enterprise deployment support. Important considerations include usage limits on consumer plans, separate X platform terms when used inside X, plan-specific differences between consumer and business features, and the fact that Grok itself is a proprietary hosted AI assistant rather than an open-source model product.
