Elon Musk’s xAI Reportedly Developing Standalone Chatbot App

The app, potentially launching in December, aims to broaden access to Grok and compete directly with OpenAI's ChatGPT.

xAI, Elon Musk's AI company, is reportedly planning to release a standalone consumer app for its Grok chatbot, similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Currently, Grok is only available to X Premium subscribers, but the standalone app could expand its reach to a wider audience.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the app's release may follow xAI's next funding round, which could value the company at $50 billion.
xAI's Grok is trained on public posts from X, giving it potentially more up-to-date information than some competitors, though it lacks features like image generation and voice support.
This move highlights Musk's broader ambition to position xAI as a direct rival to OpenAI in the competitive AI chatbot market.
