Elon Musk-owned X has rolled out a new Grok button for users to enhance the accessibility of xAI's chatbot. The button will be visible on X posts, and the aim of this is to inform users more about the accounts that they might interact with. This comes on the heels of another announcement by xAI in which it said that Grok 2 has been made free for all.
When ABP Live asked Grok about what its goal is, the chatbot said, "My goal is to assist you in understanding the universe and accelerating human scientific discovery, all while keeping things light and engaging."
What Can Grok Do?
When we asked this chatbot what it could do, it responded by giving a list of features to demonstrate its capabilities. Here's a rundown of what Grok can do:

How To Access Grok On X?
You can start by opening any desired X post that you wish to know more about and then click on the Grok button that will look like a 'slash inside a box'. You need to click on that option, and a summary of the post will be in front of your eyes. If you wish to ask Grok anything else or want it to do any of the aforementioned things, then you can get it done by typing a suitable prompt. We tried clicking on the Grok button on this post of Elon Musk:
This is what Grok responded with, "Elon Musk's post references a feature enhancement for X, specifically the introduction of the 'Grok button', which is a new user interface element designed to provide instant AI-driven analysis on posts. This ties into the broader trend of integrating AI tools for deeper content interaction on social platforms. The mention of Grok in the post relates to Grok AI, an AI chatbot developed by xAI, Elon Musk's company, aimed at providing real-time, relevant insights by leveraging data from the X platform. This reflects Musk's ongoing interest in advancing AI technology for public use."
It added, "The post quotes an earlier discussion from another thread by Aaron Levie about the utility of having an AI analysis button like Grok on every post, suggesting a growing acceptance and integration of AI in everyday digital interactions."
