Recently, Elon Musk's xAI company has once again attracted attention by announcing the launch of a new web-based Grok AI chatbot. This move not only expands its functionality but also makes the user experience more friendly, especially since users no longer need to visit X.com or have an X account to enjoy various services offered by Grok. Through this innovation, xAI showcases its ambitions and capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence.
Users can simply visit grok.com and enter their birth year to easily register and start using this powerful AI tool. Grok AI can not only gather real-time information but also answer various questions and even generate images, greatly broadening the use cases for users. The menu options below the input box allow users to freely switch between "Auto," "Visual," "Search," and "Model Only" modes, making Grok's responses more flexible.
Similar to the previously launched iOS version, the web version of Grok does not require users to have an X account. After clicking "Log In," users can easily register using their Google account or email. Additionally, Grok offers a free plan, although certain features are limited, such as generating 10 images every 2 hours or performing image analysis only 3 times a day.
To better protect user privacy, Grok has set up a "Temporary Mode," which, when activated, ensures that users' chat histories are not saved and are not used for model training. This feature is particularly suitable for users concerned about data privacy. The ghost icon in the upper right corner not only serves as the entry point to activate "Temporary Mode," but also provides links to chat history and simple settings, greatly facilitating user operations.
In practice, the editor tried Grok's image generation feature, achieving satisfactory results by generating 4 beautiful images in just 18.18 seconds. This smooth experience undoubtedly will attract more users to join in.
The launch of the Grok web version provides users with a more convenient and flexible artificial intelligence experience platform, expanding Grok's audience base and offering users a richer interactive experience. It is foreseeable that this innovation will intensify competition for Grok in the AI field.
