Elon Musk confirms GrokAI is now available in Telegram. But a Premium subscription is required for one to use Grok on Telegram.
Elon Musk has confirmed that GrokAI, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by X, is now accessible on Telegram. The official Grok account announced the news on X, stating that users can chat with Grok within the messaging app.
To use Grok on Telegram, a Premium subscription is required. Users must have both Telegram Premium and X Premium to access the chatbot. The official GrokAI bot can be found by searching @GrokAI in the Telegram app. However, advanced features such as “Think” and “DeepSearch” are only available in the Grok app or on X.
The Grok team has warned users to be cautious when searching for the bot. This is because several similar accounts may exist. Only the official GrokAI bot should be used.
- Update Telegram to the latest version.
- Navigate to X and search for @GrokAI to access the service or locate its official link from X.
- Log in and verify the X Premium account.
- Start chatting with GrokAI.
The GROK AI system is designed to provide fast responses, generate high-quality images and assist with coding. X officially released Grok 2 free of charge to all its users in December 2024. Telegram integration lets more users access AI services through their platform instead of requiring them to access the X application.
X is investing heavily in artificial intelligence. GrokAI operates on the Colossus AI data center, which enhances its performance. Telegram, known for its large user base and free speech advocacy, aligns with X’s expansion strategy. This move could increase engagement with the chatbot.
The user data collected by X from GrokAI remains private even though increased platform access may help the system gain more users. The X company maintains its dedication to AI innovation with GrokAI standing as both a potential mass-market solution or a test prototype.
The addition of GrokAI to the Telegram platform represents a development toward wider availability of AI chatbots throughout different platforms.
