Elon Musk's xAI Launches Grok AI App for iPhone Users in the US

The standalone app offers free access to Grok 2's advanced features, including real-time data retrieval and image generation, expanding beyond its integration with X.

The Grok AI app, developed by Elon Musk's xAI, is now available as a free standalone app for iPhone and iPad users in the United States.
Previously limited to X Premium subscribers, the app now provides access to Grok 2, xAI's latest AI model, without requiring an X account, though signing in offers personalization options.
Key features include real-time data retrieval from X and the web, conversational text responses, image generation, and the ability to analyze uploaded files and images.
The app retains some usage limitations for free users, such as a cap of 10 messages every two hours and three image analyses per day, with potential premium options hinted at but not yet detailed.
xAI plans to expand Grok's availability to other platforms, including Android and a dedicated web app, though timelines for these releases remain unspecified.
