xAI plans standalone Grok app for wider access to AI chatbot

xAI plans to release a standalone app for Grok, its AI chatbot, which is currently available only to X Premium subscribers. This app will allow users to access Grok directly from their phones, similar to the ChatGPT app. The release of the standalone app is not expected to happen immediately, as it will depend on xAI's next funding round. It remains unclear if the app will require an X account or a premium subscription for access. Currently, Grok is limited to about 1.3 million X Premium subscribers. There are reports that X may explore making Grok available for free, but details on this are not confirmed.
