Sliding Into Your DMs: Elon Musk’s Grok AI Now on Telegram

Elon Musk has launched his AI chatbot, Grok, on Telegram, a significant expansion of its reach from its launch platform, X. The release coincides with Telegram reaching 1 billion monthly active users, positioning Grok to compete with other AI tools like Meta's offerings on WhatsApp. Grok is available as an official bot on Telegram and is accessible to Premium subscribers only. Users can engage with basic AI features like image generation and questions, but more advanced features like "Think" and "DeepSearch" remain exclusive to the Grok standalone application or X.

This integration highlights the growing trend of AI chatbots breaking out of their native platforms to interact with wider user bases. As AI competition intensifies, the presence of Grok on Telegram is a pointer to Musk's ambition to see his AI tool everywhere on popular messaging apps.
