xAI’s Grok AI chatbot is now available on Telegram, marking its first major expansion beyond X (formerly Twitter). Telegram Premium users who also subscribe to X Premium can now interact with Grok directly within Telegram chats.
Key Details of Grok’s Expansion
✔ Exclusive to Telegram Premium & X Premium users
✔ Provides AI-powered responses within Telegram chat streams
✔ Aims to expand Grok’s reach beyond X’s platform
xAI’s Rapid Growth & Investment
xAI, backed by Elon Musk, has been scaling up aggressively. In December 2024, the company secured $6 billion in Series C funding, bringing its valuation to $18 billion. xAI is also building a massive AI data center in Memphis, housing around 200,000 Nvidia H100 units, competing with other top AI platforms.
Why Telegram?
Partnering with Telegram, originally founded in Russia but now based in Dubai, is an interesting choice. The app has gained popularity among right-wing commentators and alternative media, aligning with X’s user base. This move could help drive more engagement with Grok AI while positioning it as a monetized tool for X Corp.
What’s Next for Grok?
X has not released detailed usage data on Grok, but its integration into X post streams and now Telegram suggests rising adoption. The expansion could signal more AI-powered features across multiple platforms in the future.
