xAI’s Grok AI chatbot now includes visual recognition capabilities, allowing it to recognize objects and respond to questions based on what’s seen through a smartphone camera. This feature, known as Grok Vision, brings Grok closer in line with the real-time visual perception already available in tools like Google Gemini and ChatGPT.
Grok Vision lets users point their phone’s camera at real-world objects—products, documents, signs, and more—and ask questions directly about what they see. For now, the feature is available only in the iOS version of the Grok app. Android users will need to wait, as the feature is not yet supported on that platform. We’ll keep you updated as more integrations become available.
New Features for Android Users and Subscription Details
While Grok Vision isn’t yet on Android, Android users can access other enhancements, such as real-time multilingual search with voice control. These features are part of the SuperGrok subscription, priced at $30 per month. This subscription unlocks advanced capabilities, allowing users to interact with Grok in various languages and through voice commands in real time, notes NIXSolutions.
Continuous Updates and the Memory Feature
xAI continues to expand Grok’s capabilities through regular updates. One recent addition, introduced in early April, is a memory feature that allows Grok to retain information from past user interactions. This enables a more personalized experience, as Grok can reference previous conversations to provide more relevant responses over time.
As Grok evolves, xAI is gradually bringing it closer to a more intelligent and responsive assistant. We’ll keep you updated on future developments and availability across platforms.
