Grok reviews

xAI's (Elon Musk) AI assistant with real-time access to X/Twitter.

About

In practice. What you can do with Grok.

Grok is the AI assistant developed by xAI, Elon Musk's company. Its main differentiator vs ChatGPT or Claude: real-time access to X (formerly Twitter) data, making it a powerful tool for news monitoring, trend analysis and research on recent topics.

The free plan is limited (10 requests/2h). SuperGrok at $30/mo unlocks Grok 3 models, image generation and agents. Grok is also included in X Premium at $8/mo if you already actively use X.

Use it if you want an AI assistant with a real-time view on current events. Skip it if you just need a generalist assistant — ChatGPT or Claude do better for most office tasks.

Practical uses
