Grok AI of Elon Musk’s company xAI is now being integrated into Telegram as well, so that Telegram users will also get the benefit of this advanced AI chatbot. Know about it? 
Telegram With Grok AI:-Just a few days after making waves on the internet, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok AI, is now expanding to another social media platform—Telegram. Previously, Grok AI was only available on X (formerly Twitter) and the Grok app, but now, Telegram users will also be able to chat with it. This move is expected to increase Grok AI’s reach while also giving Telegram a chance to stay relevant in the AI-driven world.
Why is This a Big Deal?
For the past few months, Telegram has been facing legal troubles. Since August 2024, the platform has come under scrutiny for allegedly being a hub for illegal activities. After CEO Pavel Durov’s last arrest, concerns were raised about Telegram’s role in facilitating criminal activities.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has been actively rolling out AI-powered features under Meta AI, making it a more attractive option for users. Due to this, Telegram was gradually losing user interest as it lacked any AI features.
Now, with the integration of Grok AI, Telegram is once again in the spotlight. This partnership could bring back users who were slowly moving away from the platform.
Who Can Use Grok AI on Telegram?
Currently, Grok AI is only available for Telegram Premium and X Premium users. Unlike WhatsApp’s Meta AI, which is integrated within the app and easily accessible, Grok AI doesn’t automatically appear on Telegram.
To use it, users need to manually search for “GrokAI” on Telegram and start a chat. It is still unclear whether free-tier users will get access in the future.
What’s New in Grok AI on Telegram?
According to Telegram, the latest Grok 3 model has been integrated into the platform. Grok AI’s developers claim that the new version is 10 times more powerful than its predecessor, capable of:
✔ Better reasoning
✔ Deep research
✔ Handling creative tasks more effectively
However, its expansion hasn’t come without controversy.
Government Scrutiny on Grok AI in India
Recently, India’s IT Ministry has launched an investigation into Grok AI. The chatbot has gained attention for its unfiltered responses, especially its use of Hindi slang and uncensored language.
Due to this, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has asked for an explanation from xAI regarding Grok’s responses. It remains to be seen how this will impact Grok AI’s future in India.
Grok AI’s expansion to Telegram is a strategic move to bring AI-driven conversations to more users. However, its limited availability, government scrutiny, and competition from Meta AI could determine how successful it becomes on the platform.
