If you're one of the around 1.3 million people who are Watch The Heirs OnlineX Premium subscribers — or about 0.26% of the platform's user base — you have access to Grok, X's AI chatbot similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, that you can use through the X app. But that access might be getting a bit more broad.

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. There doesn't seem to be a huge rush, though — Tech Crunch reports that it likely won't come to fruition until xAI closes its next funding round.
