Grok

What is Grok?

Grok is xAI's consumer AI assistant, available at grok.com and in iOS and Android apps. You open a message box, type a question or a slash command and can pick the Fast option for quicker replies. Beyond chat, the account covers image and video generation under Imagine, voice conversations and a coding product called Build, and the web app also answers with information from the web and X. Paid SuperGrok plans share a single weekly usage pool across those products, with a Settings page that shows percentage used per product and a reset date. When the pool runs out, you can buy Extra Usage Credits from $5, turn on Auto Top Up or move to a higher tier, and Chat and Voice keep a free tier meanwhile. The FAQ mentions SuperGrok, SuperGrok Heavy and X Premium, but xAI does not publish a price table for them there, so check grok.com for current plan prices.

How to get started with Grok

1. Open grok.com or the mobile app and sign in with your account.
2. Type a message, use a slash command or choose Fast for a quicker answer.
3. Switch between chat, Imagine, Voice and Build; each draws from your weekly usage pool.
4. Check Settings and Usage for the percentage used, the breakdown by product and the reset time.
5. If you reach the limit, buy Extra Usage Credits on the web, enable Auto Top Up or upgrade your plan.

Grok limitations
