Grok Insight
xAI's witty assistant with real-time X integration
Built by xAI, Grok pairs a capable reasoning model with live access to posts on X, giving it a strong edge for breaking news, trends and cultural context. Grok 4 brought significant gains in reasoning and coding, while features like Grok Imagine add image and short-video generation. Its tone is intentionally more candid and humorous, which appeals to users who find other assistants overly cautious.
