xAI recently announced that its chatbot Grok is now open to users worldwide. This move provides users with a new opportunity to experience AI chat tools, while also setting some usage limitations.
In the open free version, Grok has set the following specific limits for users:
Image creation: Limited to 3 images for analysis or creation per day
Message processing: Users can only send 10 messages every two hours
These limitations reflect xAI's attempt to balance user experience with its business model during product promotion. For users, this provides a low-cost, low-barrier way to experience AI technology. For xAI, it serves as a strategy for user growth and product promotion.
From a technical perspective, Grok is designed as an AI chat tool to offer users intelligent conversations and image generation capabilities. By making it available for free, xAI clearly aims to attract more users to learn about and utilize its AI products.
For users interested in exploring AI technology, this is a worthwhile opportunity to try. At the same time, users need to realistically consider the current features and usage limitations of the product. For those needing more features, xAI may introduce additional paid options in the future.
