xAI develops standalone Grok AI chatbot app to compete with ChatGPT

xAI is developing a standalone mobile app for its Grok AI chatbot, aiming to compete with ChatGPT and other AI chatbots. The app will likely use the Grok-2 model, which offers real-time information from X. Currently, Grok requires a subscription to X Premium for access. The mobile app may introduce a limited free version, potentially increasing user accessibility. Grok will face competition from various AI chatbots, including Google Gemini and Anthropic's Claude. The app's success may depend on its appeal outside the X social media platform.
