Grok is a chat from xAI available on grok.com, in its app and inside X. Its main difference is real-time access to X posts, which makes it useful for monitoring company mentions, market reactions and news that has not yet reached articles. It writes, summarizes, analyzes images and files, and has a reasoning mode and DeepSearch. Full access comes with an X Premium or SuperGrok subscription.

Tasks it handles well

Most useful for

Pitfalls to watch at work

The default model has fewer guardrails on style and claims: proofread client-facing text more carefully than after other chats
In X settings, turn off permission for Grok to train on your posts and conversations, which is on by default
X data is people's posts rather than facts: check a quote from the feed in the primary source before it goes into a report

Billing

SuperGrok is paid by card on grok.com or through app stores. X Premium is paid in the X app or on the website; app store prices are higher and include local tax.
