What Grok does

Grok is a general-purpose AI assistant from xAI (now presented under SpaceX Super Intelligence) that you use on grok.com, in the iOS and Android apps, or inside X. You can chat, search the web, reason through hard questions, talk by voice, and create images and short videos in one thread. What sets it apart is live search across both the web and X posts, so answers can cover breaking news, plus a multi-agent mode that splits a hard question across parallel agents.
