xAI and Its Services ​

What is xAI? ​

xAI (Exploration AI) is an artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk in 2023. The company is focused on developing AI systems that can help humanity understand the universe and expand knowledge. xAI's flagship product is Grok, a conversational AI assistant designed to answer questions with wit and a touch of humor while providing informative, helpful responses.

Grok Website vs. xAI API: What's the Difference? ​

Grok Website/X (Twitter) Integration ​

Grok is primarily available through X (formerly Twitter) as part of the X Premium+ subscription. It's:

  • Integrated directly into the X platform
  • Designed with a conversational, sometimes humorous style
  • Available to premium subscribers
  • Able to access real-time information from the web

xAI API ​

The API (Application Programming Interface) allows Grok's capabilities to power other applications like Definer:

  • Enables developers to incorporate Grok's AI capabilities into their own applications
  • Brings Grok's knowledge and conversational abilities directly into tools like Definer
  • Provides more flexibility in how the AI is customized and used
  • Requires an API key to access
  • Usage is typically billed based on the amount of processing required
