For the Telegram enthusiasts, be it for media sharing like movies, its security features, or simply as a messaging platform—well, it has got even better. Telegram has recently integrated with Grok AI, Elon Musk’s AI that has been quite the popular kid on his X platform, now, available on Telegram as well!
If you’ve been keeping an eye on AI chatbots, you might have already heard of Grok AI. Developed by xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, Grok AI was initially available exclusively on X (formerly Twitter). However, in a stunt to expand its reach, Grok AI has now made its way onto Telegram, providing users with an alternative way to engage with its witty, informative, and sometimes unfiltered responses.
When Did Grok AI Integrate with Telegram?
The integration has been spotted just recently (late March 2025) and has appeared in headlines promoting both Telegram and Grok AI. As Telegram continues to evolve beyond just a messaging platform, this addition strengthens its appeal, particularly among users who are keen on AI-driven interactions.
Who Can Access Grok AI on Telegram?
Before you rush to test it out, there’s a catch—Grok AI is currently not available to just anyone–as of now, access is restricted to Telegram Premium subscribers and X Premium users. If you’re subscribed to either service, you can interact with Grok AI directly by searching for “@GrokAI” in Telegram and starting a chat.
There’s no official word yet on whether Grok AI will be available for free-tier users in the future.
What Makes Grok AI Different?
If you have been using chatbots for your varied reasons, you have definitely noticed their trend of speech. well, unlike conventional AI chatbots that stick to a neutral and polished tone, Grok AI prides itself on being more humorous, insightful, and sometimes a little edgy. Inspired by “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” it brings an unconventional approach to AI conversations. With the latest Grok 3 model, the chatbot is reportedly ten times more capable than its predecessors, offering more advanced reasoning, research capabilities, and creative content generation.
as for how this affects the public,
Telegram users can now interact with a powerful AI assistant within their favorite messaging app, a kind of ai-enhanced conversation.
Grok AI isn’t just for answering questions—it can assist with content creation, brainstorming ideas, and even engaging in casual banter, which positions it as “more than just a chatbot”
With AI tools becoming an integral part of digital communication, this integration puts Telegram in direct competition with other platforms incorporating AI-driven features.
Not Everyone Is Happy
While the Grok AI integration is exciting, it has also stirred some controversy. The chatbot has faced scrutiny over its unfiltered responses, leading to regulatory concerns. In fact, India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has reportedly sought clarification from X regarding some of Grok’s more questionable replies. This raises questions about content moderation and how AI chatbots should be regulated on messaging platforms.
Still, many find the update a much-welcomed feature and are eagerly interacting with it. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a chatbot aficionado, or just someone who enjoys casual AI banter, this is an update worth exploring.
So, if you’re a Telegram Premium subscriber, give it a try and see what all the buzz is about. If not, keep an eye out—because AI integration in messaging apps is only getting started.
