xAI’s Grok Chatbot Can Now See and Understand What’s Around You

AI

xAI’s Grok chatbot can now answer questions about objects that are in view of your smartphone’s camera, offering a similar real-time vision feature as Google’s Gemini and ChatGPT.

Introducing Grok Vision

xAI launched Grok Vision, allowing users to point their phones at objects like products, signs, or documents, and ask Grok questions about them. The feature provides real-time responses based on what it “sees.”

  • Availability: Grok Vision is currently accessible only through the Grok iOS app.
  • Android Users: Unfortunately, this feature isn’t available yet on the Android version of the Grok app.
