How it works
Users can type or speak questions. To reduce environmental impact, create a single, precise request rather than using multiple messages. Voice Mode allows for natural, real-time conversation. Grok has real-time access to posts on X and can search online, but like all AI models, its results may be incorrect. A user can:
• Allow Grok to remember previous conversations
• Customise Grok, such as being more formal or brief in tone
• Create a mini-version of Grok (a Project) with a custom tone, style and persona (only if logged in on a browser)
Read-only chats can be shared via a public link, but group chats with the AI are only possible within the X app. Users can pay for features such as the ability to create pictures and videos in the Image tab.
They can create Grok Automations to schedule actions such as providing a daily topic summary. Grok can be connected to other apps to do things like draft emails, manage a diary and create documents. Be careful about allowing any AI app to automatically take actions in other apps.
Parental controls or safety settings available
Grok includes automatic filters to restrict inappropriate content for under 18s. Parents can also enable Kids Mode in the mobile app (lockable with a PIN), which applies stronger content filters.
All users can choose to blur mature imagery in the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) settings and they can report concerns on the app. They can opt out of AI training and use Private Chat to avoid saving history. X users can prevent their data being used to personalise the AI experience.
