Elon Musk’s xAI has launched the Grok app as a standalone AI chatbot for iOS users in the United States, expanding beyond its initial integration within the X (Twitter) social network.

Grok was rolled out in 2023 and is designed to be “maximally truthful, useful, and curious.” Its latest version, Grok 2, features capabilities including image generation and access to up-to-date information from current X and web data. Users can download Grok from the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
After beta testing in Australia since December, Grok has rapidly emerged as a competitive artificial intelligence platform, easily competing with other chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini due to its conversational tone and engaging personality. Previously, the app required an X account, but its recent release as a separate application was deemed a necessity for its broader accessibility.
Musk’s Grok-2 is fast, free and full of flaws
Currently, the standalone Grok app is available for iOS in the U.S., Australia, and India, while Android users can still access Grok within the X app. The app is described as providing a conversational experience that blends humor and knowledge.
Users can start their experience by visiting the Grok page on the Apple App Store and downloading it.
