How to use Grok AI Assistant from Twitter (X)

Now, Grok AI Chatbot is available for all users on X for free. Some helpful hints in this post on how to make most of Twitter's-erstwhile-Grok AI assistant.

Grok, an artificial intelligence assistant and a chatbot, was created by the xAI firm and placed inside the X, earlier known as Twitter platform. It can do a lot, such as answer user requests with up-to-date and humorous information, create graphics, help in coding, summarize text, and more. This chatbot was first available to all members of X Premium and Premium+. However, in its most recent version, Grok-2, all X users-either on desktop or on mobile-have free access to Grok.

Can I try Grok AI now?

Yes, Grok AI is currently available for any user with a mobile-verified X (Twitter) account at least 6 days old. The free version of Grok AI has some limitations, however: two hours maximum on questions, three images a day for analysis, and four images maximum to generate.

How to Use Twitter's Grok AI Assistant X

A Grok option will be displayed on the left sidebar of your desktop screen when you login to your X account. On mobile, you may see it near the bottom of the app, sandwiched between the Search and Communities icons. You could even get started with a prompt or some ideas from Grok AI; to do that, select that option to head to the homepage or tab. Here are some tips to maximize

1] Clarify the question

Discussion or conversation will begin with just a prompt. The fault may be in your style of prompting when results that come out are not what you wanted. Then, you can change it to make more appropriate and fitting to the query. At every hovering of your mouse over prompt, an icon will come up to edit the prompt. Just click on it and edit.

For every response you receive from Grok, you have the option to like, disklike, regenerate, copy text, and share the chat up to that point.

2. Use the suggestions or ask for a follow-up prompt.

If you would like to inquire further about the generated answer, clarify your inquiry, or obtain further information, you can keep talking to Grok. To accomplish this, either select an option at the bottom of the answer or request a follow-up prompt.

[3] Begin a Fresh Conversation

You can always open a new chat and start a topic or separate conversation if a current one gets too long or confusing. To start a new chat, go to the Grok interface and click on the "New Chat" option at the top right.

4] Create AI-powered pictures and edit them

One of the interesting features in Grok AI is its Image Generation feature, which is powered by the autoregressive AI model codenamed Aurora. Working examples of such AI chatbots are Copilot, Gemini, and the Image Creator in Windows Paint. It is able to generate high-quality AI images based on the textual directions given.

You can make AI-generated images or artwork from everything from artistic texts to real-looking celebrities' faces, entities, and memes in just a second. You are also given choices where you can use ideas, make a change request, or receive results. In that you could have your pick download, post, save an image as an outcome.

5. View picture files and PDFs

For me, it is one of the distinctive features of the Grok assistant: you can test with the input file as with a photo or with an already prepared PDF file. It does include automatic quality description out of an image or the attached file. This instrument works quite well if your wish is to summarize anything said, or just generally explain an image. Here it would be possible to insert an attachment to make more. Tap the icon left-hand side of the Media text box to insert any attachments.

You start by typing some relevant information or letting it suggest further edits for the image. This program will also let you edit images while the outcomes may not be what one would want and trying is worth the effort. There is an image upload option in the free version too, but only a premium user can upload PDFs.

6. Grok Posts

To provide context to help you understand what is happening in real-time, learn about the context, and go deeper into the conversations happening now, you may see the Grok icon below some posts in your Home timeline, or the Grok button. If the post contains an explanation of the meme, details about the picture, and so on-y ou can learn it using this icon, opening a Grok chat box. Even more, you could initiate a discussion in that box, create a conversation on the Grok page, request cues, and so on.

7] Your Grok Purchases Overview

Accidentally closed a conversation or Grok interface, missed an image? Don't worry, there is a Grok History feature available that will restore all of your previous conversations. More than this, you will be provided with Grok's generated images. You can quickly find something by using the search box, or you can find your conversation/image manually in chats or images.

Now, in the upper left corner of Grok, find the History menu item and click on it. It opens an area for chats and another one for images. In the first part of the interface you will be able to access the previously saved conversations, giving it a new name for easy finding and even delete it. You will be able to access the created images and do things like save, copy, post, or delete them using the second option.

Step 8: Enter Focus Mode.

On the top left side of the Grok page, you will see an icon for Focus Mode-click it. The icon sits next to the History option. If you want a no-distraction page, you have an option to hide the left sidebar of your X account and just display the interface for Grok. Focus mode is lacking some of the features that it should have, like the ability to select a theme. To switch back to regular mode, utilize the button Exit Focus Mode-the close icon.

9. Enable the Lighthearted Mode.

By default, Grok AI is as professional as possible while still conveying clear and concise information to the user. Comments in fun mode can be light-hearted, casual, playful, and even with sprinkles of jokes or sarcasm here and there where appropriate. My favorite, though, has got to be fun mode.

Activates Fun mode simply by typing and pressing Enter. Answers you will get from now on are going to be much more interesting and entertaining.

10] Check whether the output from Grok AI is correct.

Beyond any shadow of doubt, Grok AI is human. You should, therefore, verify the output results produced by the Grok AI assistant before transmitting information to other parties. Almost every response it generates contains citations, related posts, and relevant web pages. Make sure that the information is true; check these sources and further verify other reputable sources.

11] Stop using my data to train Grok AI.

It is the default for Grok to train on your data. In order to train and improve Grok's ability to give balanced answers, relevant and correct responses, and more, we exchange user interactions, public data, postings, replies, results, etc. You can opt out of Grok's training if that is an issue for your data.

It does not appear that data sharing can be turned off on the Grok website. Data sharing and personalization settings of your X account, scroll to Grok & Third-party Collaborations. Toggle off Allow your public data and your interactions, inputs, and outcomes with Grok and xAI to be used for training and fine-tuning.

That would be all for today; we certainly hope to have helped you. Good luck, bye.
