Grok
What it is
Grok is an AI assistant for chat, research, writing, and problem solving, available on the web, iOS, Android, and through an API. It searches the web and X in real time and provides citations from web sources. Grok Imagine can generate and edit images and video from text prompts or reference photos, and voice mode supports natural conversations with low-latency back and forth. Users can upload PDFs, images, spreadsheets, code, and audio for analysis, extraction, and summaries. Built-in connectors link services including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, OneDrive, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Salesforce; custom MCP servers must be reachable over the public internet. The Free plan includes real-time web and X search, voice mode, and connectors. SuperGrok costs $30/month and adds higher rate limits and image and video generation.
