According to The Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk's AI company xAI will be releasing a standalone consumer app. It will work similar to the ChatGPT app and give users access to Grok from their phones.

Who knows! But this comes at a time in which X is allegedly experimenting with making access to Grok free. As with most changes under Musk's tutelage, we'll probably just have to wait and see.
