Grock, AI X (Twitter), is now free to use

X (Twitter) now allows all your users access Grokartificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI. Previously, it could only be used by those who paid for an X Premium or X Premium+ subscription; however, From today you can use it completely free of charge.

In this way, X (Twitter) allows more people to have access to Grok and compare its performance with other publicly available chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini.

From what we were able to see during our tests, the social network offers access to almost all the features of this tool. This includes images provided by Black Forest Labs via FLUX.1.

As expected, free use of Grok via X (Twitter) has some limitations. For example, those who do not subscribe to X Premium or X Premium+ will be able to earn the maximum 10 questions or requests every two hours according to the Grok 2 model. After reaching the limit, you will have to wait for the quota to be extended or sign a contract for one of the paid versions of the platform.

The chatbot itself mentions that when using the Grok 2 mini model, you can ask up to 20 questions every two hours. However, this option is not available in the technology selection menu for promoting a conversation, at least from Argentina.

Free use of Grok on X (Twitter) includes some additional restrictions. For example, it can only be used with accounts that are at least 7 days old and associated with a phone number. In terms of advanced features, image analysis is also limited to a maximum of 3 per day for those who do not pay for X Premium or X Premium+.

How to Try Grok, Chatbot X (Twitter) for Free

If you want to try Grok without paying for X (Twitter), you can do so very easily. If you access a social network from its web version, you will find quick access to the chatbot from the menu available on the left side of the screen.

Clicking on “Grock” You’ll be taken directly to the app’s interface, which includes a text field for writing your questions or orders, as well as some recommendations and sample images, as well as a selection of topics that are most popular on the platform.

If you’re using the X (Twitter) mobile apps, you’ll see a Grock shortcut in bottom navigation bar. The chatbot button is a square with a diagonal inside and is located between the search engine and the communities section.

Keep in mind that to educate Grok, the social network uses posts from almost all of its users, with the exception of those in Europe. If you’re in another part of the world and want to prevent the xAI chatbot from accessing what you share on your profile, you can disable it with a few clicks. To do this you need to enter Advanced Settings > Settings & Privacy > Privacy & Security > Grok. Once there, uncheck the “Allow your messages, as well as your interactions, recordings, and results, to be used with Grok for learning and improvement.”
