“I want an AI plugged into live news and what's being said on X”

xAI's assistant, plugged in real time into the web and X: news, summaries of what's being said on a topic, frank answers, image and video generation (Imagine), in text and by voice. Accessible for free with daily limits, in X, on grok.com and in the apps.

How it works

Trigger: You ask a question, news-related or not — searches in real time on the web and on X, cites its sources, reasons in several steps and creates images and videos, and you get an up-to-date answer with its sources, or a summary of what's being said on X about your topic.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Open grok.com or the Grok tab in X, with your X account.
  2. Ask a news question and open the cited sources to verify.
  3. Try image generation (Imagine) and voice conversation.
  4. If you pay, read the plan name carefully: since October 2026, they are the tiers of “The X Subscription”.
⚠️ Guardrails: Being plugged into X is a strength and a bias: the feed mixes facts, rumors and opinions. For any information that matters, demand the sources and cross-check outside X. And don't go looking for “SuperGrok”: it was replaced by “The X Subscription” plans in October 2026.

Its particular angle

Like every general-purpose assistant, it can chat, write, summarize, translate and help with code. What sets it apart: it's plugged in real time into the news and into what's being said on X.
