xAI's chatbot with live web and X awareness for current topics.
About
Grok is xAI's conversational assistant, built into X and available as a standalone app. It answers questions, drafts text, helps with code, and generates images and video, with an emphasis on up-to-date information drawn from the web and from X. Paid tiers raise usage limits and unlock the strongest models and media features.

Pricing
Pricing is not listed here, because it could not be verified from an official source at the time of writing.
Grok's consumer plans were restructured in late 2026 and third-party reports conflict on current tier names and prices, so this figure could not be fully verified — check the official pricing page before subscribing.
Best for
X users and anyone who wants current-events answers with a direct, informal tone.
Limitations to know
AI output can be wrong, so check important facts, figures and citations before acting on them. Answers can also be informal or opinionated in tone, and usage limits apply on every tier.
