xAI launches Grok Vision with real-time sight and multilingual features
Grok just got eyes, ears, and memory. Elon Musk’s AI chatbot now sees through your phone camera, speaks multiple languages, and remembers past chats, bringing xAI’s vision of a real-world assistant closer to reality.
Elon Musk’s AI venture, xAI, has taken another leap forward with the rollout of Grok Vision, a real-time camera-based analysis tool for its Grok chatbot.
Available for free on Android and iOS, the new feature allows users to point their phone cameras at objects, texts, or environments and receive instant explanations or answers.
Whether it’s a business card, a street sign, or a symbol, Grok can interpret and respond to visual input on the spot.
The update aligns Grok with visual capabilities already offered by competitors like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
In addition to visual analysis, xAI has introduced multilingual audio responses and real-time voice search.
Users can now ask Grok questions aloud and receive spoken responses, as well as interact with the chatbot in more languages, including Hindi, Spanish, and Japanese.
These features are part of the SuperGrok subscription plan, priced at $30 per month, and it remains unclear whether they will eventually be made available to free users.
xAI is also focusing on making Grok more intuitive and personalised. A newly added memory function allows the chatbot to remember previous user interactions, tailoring responses based on personal history and preferences.
This development enhances Grok’s ability to deliver context-aware replies and could significantly shift how users experience conversational AI.
