Grok AI chatbot by xAI

Grok AI in Danish – try Grok for free

Grok is an AI assistant from xAI that can answer questions, search the web, analyze files, write code, and generate both images and videos.

Grok started as the slightly cheekier AI chatbot on the social network X, but the service has evolved significantly. Today you can use Grok directly in your browser, as a standalone app for iPhone and Android, or through X.

We tested Grok in the web version on a Windows 11 PC and compared the experience with AI tools many Americans already know. The first thing we noticed was speed. Answers arrive quickly, the interface is simple, and live access to current information from both the web and X makes Grok especially useful for news, trends, and topics that change by the hour.

The current version, Grok 4.5, was made available in July 2026 on grok.com, X, and the iOS and Android apps. The model is designed for longer conversations, coding, research, document work, and multi‑step tasks.

What is Grok AI?

During our test, we asked Grok to create an image of Elon Musk in Austin. Grok Imagine delivered the result in seconds, right in the chat.

At its core, Grok works like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude: you enter a question or task, and the AI model tries to produce a useful answer.

You can use Grok to:

  • write and rewrite text
  • explain complex topics
  • search for up‑to‑date information
  • analyze images, PDFs, and documents
  • write, explain, and debug code
  • generate images
  • create short AI videos
  • have voice conversations
  • summarize long texts and web pages

What sets Grok apart is its connection to X. The AI assistant can search both regular websites and public content on X, which helps with breaking news, politics, sports, technology, and other areas where the latest details may not yet be in traditional articles.

That’s also a feature to use with healthy skepticism. A post on X isn’t automatically a reliable source just because Grok can surface it quickly.

Grok 4.5 is the current AI model, with more on the way

Grok 4.5 is the model everyday users encounter on Grok’s website and in the mobile apps.

According to xAI, the model is better at maintaining context over longer conversations, understanding user intent, and completing end‑to‑end work. It can, for example, build a spreadsheet, turn an outline into a presentation, draw diagrams, and extract key information from a long PDF.

In practice, that makes Grok more useful than a classic chatbot that only produces text. You can start with a rough idea, have Grok research the topic, and then continue with text, a table, an illustration, or a video clip in the same workflow.

Grok 4.5 is also available through xAI’s API and has been added as a model in tools like GitHub Copilot. That’s mainly relevant for developers, while regular users can simply open Grok in the browser or app.

Grok 4.6, Grok 4.7, and Grok 5.x are already on the way

Grok’s development is unusually fast. On August 4, 2026, Elon Musk said that Grok 4.6 is expected to launch later the same week. He has also stated that the next model, Grok 4.7, is planned to arrive a few weeks later.

Musk has further signaled additional Grok models throughout the year, including a model in the Grok 5 series before the end of 2026. xAI has not yet published a final release date, full specs, or official comparative benchmarks for Grok 5.x. Treat the timeline as an ambition, not a guaranteed date.

For typical users, this means Grok may change noticeably over a short period. Grok 4.5 remains the current, officially documented main model, but its version number may soon be replaced by newer releases with improvements in reasoning, coding, and longer workflows.

Grok Imagine creates images and AI videos

Grok Imagine is the creative side of the service. You can generate images from a description, edit existing images, and turn images into short videos.

For example, you can upload a product photo and ask Grok to:

  • change the background
  • add or remove objects
  • create a new camera angle
  • change the image style
  • animate the subject
  • add camera movement and audio

The current video model supports text‑to‑video and image‑to‑video. xAI has also introduced reference images, voice references, and video up to 1080p, although exact capabilities and usage limits depend on your plan and rollout.

It’s one of Grok’s most exciting features, but it’s also where you’ll hit the free plan’s limitations quickly. Video generation requires significantly more compute than a typical chat.

Can Grok be used in Danish?

In our test, Grok couldn’t make the requested AI video. The service instead suggested a still image based on the prompt about Elon Musk on South Congress Avenue in Austin.

Yes. You can write to Grok in Danish and will usually get the answer in Danish as well.

We found that everyday Danish questions were understood with no special settings. For more complex tasks, it still pays to be precise: specify the intended audience, tone of voice, and how the result should be formatted.

An example prompt could be:

Write an easy-to-understand explanation in Danish for someone without technical experience. Use short paragraphs, concrete examples, and avoid English jargon.

Grok’s official product page lists support for more than 30 languages, and the Android app listing in Google Play also includes a Danish description and interface.

Grok Free or SuperGrok?

Grok can be used for free, but the free plan limits the number of requests and access to the most compute‑intensive features.

The official pricing page lists these main plans:

PlanPriceBest for
Grok Free$0 per monthOccasional chat, web search, and testing
SuperGrok$30 per monthFrequent use, higher limits, and advanced features

SuperGrok includes higher usage limits, access to the newest models, Expert features, and more extensive image and video generation. Prices may differ in App Store and Google Play due to local currency, sales tax, and store payment systems.

For most individuals, the free version is a sensible place to start. SuperGrok makes the most sense if you use Grok daily for work, research, programming, or producing images and video.

Grok vs ChatGPT – what’s the difference?

Grok checks the web and X to see if Elon Musk has visited Austin
We tested Grok’s research feature with a local question about Elon Musk and Austin. Grok searched both the web and X, showed its work, and compiled an answer with sources.

Grok and ChatGPT overlap in many areas. Both can write content, search the web, analyze images, work with documents, and help with programming.

The clearest difference is Grok’s direct connection to X. If you want reactions to a news story, tech launch, or an event that happened in the last few minutes, Grok can often surface relevant posts very quickly.

In our view, ChatGPT still feels like the more polished all‑in‑one assistant for broad workloads, while Grok stands out for:

  • information and discussions from X
  • a more direct and sometimes humorous tone
  • the combination of chat, research, and Grok Imagine
  • fast access to real‑time internet conversations
  • creative images and short AI videos

So it isn’t necessarily Grok or ChatGPT. Many people can use ChatGPT for daily work and open Grok when a task needs real‑time information or content from X.

Grok for research and breaking news

Live search is one of the features that gives Grok real value over a typical search engine. You can ask the service to investigate a topic, compare multiple sources, and present differences or disagreements.

We recommend actively asking Grok to show its sources. Otherwise, a well‑phrased answer can sound more certain than the documentation supports.

A good phrasing is:

Investigate the topic using recent, credible sources. Separate confirmed facts from rumors, and add a source to each important claim.

Grok can provide answers with citations from the web and X, but you should still open the key links and check the date, author, and original context.

Files, projects, and personal instructions

You can upload documents, images, and PDFs to Grok and ask questions about the material. It’s handy when you need a report summarized, a contract explained, or specific details found in a long document.

Grok has also gained Projects, Skills, and various connections to external services. Skills can save recurring rules—such as a specific writing style, document format, or workflow—that Grok should follow across conversations. In a May 2026 update, handling of projects, connections, and file uploads was improved, and the displayed file limit changed to 100 MB.

This makes Grok appealing to users who want more than ad‑hoc answers and prefer to build a more consistent AI assistant for their work.

Is Grok safe to use?

Only open Grok via grok.com, the official App Store page, or Google Play. There are many fake AI apps and websites that try to imitate well‑known services.

As with other AI assistants, avoid uploading:

  • passwords and login credentials
  • Social Security numbers (SSNs) and sensitive personal data
  • confidential client documents
  • internal company information
  • private photos others haven’t consented to share or process

xAI states directly in its privacy policy that users should not include personal information in their prompts. Depending on how you use Grok and which settings you choose, the service can collect content from messages, files, images, audio and video.

For general information gathering, brainstorming, and help with writing, Grok is easy to start using. For legal, medical, financial, or other critical decisions, always verify answers with a qualified professional or the original source.

Top 5 tips for Grok

Top 5 tips for Grok

Grok becomes far more useful when you give the AI assistant precise instructions and require documentation for key claims.

1

Ask Grok to document its answers

Grok can fetch very fresh information from both the web and X, but speed isn’t the same as accuracy. Ask the assistant to use credible sources and place a citation next to every important claim.

Try this prompt: Investigate the topic with recent, trustworthy sources. Separate confirmed facts from rumors, and add sources to the most important claims.
2

Describe the finished result precisely

Tell Grok who the content is for, how long it should be, and what tone to use. We consistently got better results when we described the desired outcome instead of just naming a topic.

Example: Write a beginner‑friendly guide in Danish of about 500 words. Use short paragraphs, concrete examples, and a closing FAQ.
3

Upload the entire document

If Grok needs to analyze a report or PDF, it’s usually better to upload the whole document than paste isolated excerpts. Also ask Grok to include page numbers so you can quickly verify the information in the original.

Try this prompt: Find the document’s five most important takeaways and include the page number after each. Also point out anything unclear or lacking documentation.
4

Create images and videos in multiple steps

Start with subject, style, and format. Then adjust lighting, camera angle, motion, and details in follow‑up messages. In our testing, several short refinements often beat one very long, complex prompt.

Helpful workflow: Generate the image first, fix the composition, then use the finished image as the basis for a short video.
5

Save reusable instructions — but never sensitive data

Use Grok’s Skills, projects, or personal instructions for recurring requirements on language, tone, and formatting. It can save surprising amounts of time. Do not store passwords, SSNs, client data, or other confidential information.

A practical example: Save an instruction to always write in Danish, use clear subheadings, and flag any information that needs fact‑checking.
