Grok is an xAI generative artificial intelligence service integrated on X. As of today, access to Grok is limited to X users who subscribe to Premium/Premium+ plans. Grok can not only generate text, answer various questions, but also analyze and generate images because of the Grok-2 model. Most recently, Grok will also be available for free users.
Free users can use Grok with limited access. To generate text or image based content with the Grok-2 model, it can only be used 10 times every 2 hours. 20 times every 2 hours is for Grok-2 mini and only 3 times a day for image analysis. This free version of Grok can also only be used by users with accounts that are more than 7 days old and have a phone number linked to the account.
Open access to Grok for free makes X ready to compete with other AI chatbot services on the market such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude and more. For now, it is only limited to users in New Zealand and it is not sure when it will be expanded to other countries such as Malaysia.
