In a significant move, Elon Musk has confirmed the integration of his cutting-edge Grok AI chatbot into the Telegram messaging platform. This marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence accessibility, as Grok is now available to Telegram Premium users without additional charges.
Musk, who heads the US Department of Government Efficiency and owns the social network X, announced the launch on X, stating that Grok is now directly accessible on Telegram. Users can engage with the official Grok bot, but advanced features like “Think” and “DeepSearch” remain exclusive to the Grok app or X platform.
This development follows the recent unveiling of Grok 3, touted as the “smartest AI on Earth,” which boasts enhanced logical reasoning, increased computational power, and adaptability. Grok 3 has already demonstrated superior performance in complex tasks compared to competitors like ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
The integration of Grok into Telegram expands its reach beyond the X platform for the first time, offering users a seamless AI experience within their messaging app. This strategic move positions Grok as a formidable competitor in the AI landscape, further intensifying the rivalry between Musk’s xAI and other AI giants.
