From TechCrunch, Those who have not had the opportunity to try this feature have recalled that this format is similar to how other companies such as Google and Microsoft use ‘chatbots’ within your productivity applicationssince they incorporate it into the side of the screen.

This change of location will therefore offer an integrated experience that will allow X users to chat with Grok more frequently, even when they post on the app. or move through the ‘feed’.

The analyst, for his part, has advanced other options that X will offer to use Grok, such as a function that allows searching for more information about a certain account on the platform. when you hover over the profile name.

It will also be possible to select part of the text of a post by X with the mouse so that the ‘chatbot’ offers more information about a word, as shared by Owji.
