Grok

Strong

by xAI · founded 2023 · updated Jul 2026

Grok is xAI's assistant, distinguished by live access to the X firehose and a deliberately less-filtered voice. Recent releases pushed hard on reasoning and coding, and native integration with X makes it strong for real-time sentiment, breaking news and social research.
