Elon Musk says all Premium subscribers on X will gain access to AI chatbot Grok this week | TechCrunch

Mar 26, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Elon Musk's xAI is set to offer its Grok chatbot to more paying subscribers of the company formerly known as Twitter, now known as X. Previously available only to Premium+ subscribers, Grok will now be accessible to Premium subscribers as well. This move could be a bid to compete with other popular chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, or an attempt to increase X's subscriber figures amidst declining platform usage.

Grok's chatbot, which can respond to typically off-limit topics and access real-time X data, may appeal to Musk's followers and heavy X users. However, the value of this data may be decreasing as X is reportedly losing users. This comes after data from Sensor Tower showed a significant decrease in X usage in the U.S, and a drop in advertising spend from top U.S. advertisers on the platform.

Key takeaways:

  • Elon Musk's company, X, plans to offer its Grok chatbot to more paying subscribers, including those on the Premium tier, not just the higher-end Premium+ tier.
  • This move comes as X struggles with declining user numbers and reduced advertising revenue, with data indicating a significant drop in usage and a decrease in top advertisers.
  • The Grok chatbot, which can access real-time X data and respond to a wider range of topics than other AI chatbots, could potentially prevent X users from migrating to other platforms.
  • Despite these efforts, the value of X's data and the appeal of its chatbot may be diminishing if the platform continues to lose users.
