Grok from xAI has learned to recognize objects through a smartphone camera

xAI has introduced Grok Vision, a feature that enables the Grok chatbot to answer questions about objects captured by a smartphone camera. This functionality is similar to the visual search capabilities found in Google's Gemini and ChatGPT.

Users of the iOS version of the app can use Grok Vision to point their camera at products, signs, or documents to receive descriptions or explanations. Support for Android will be added later.

Additionally, starting April 22, Grok gained several new features: multitasking in voice mode and support for multilingual text-to-speech. These features are available to Android users who have subscribed to SuperGrok for $30 per month. In April, xAI is actively expanding Grok's functionality. Previously, the bot gained "memory," allowing it to use data from previous conversations, as well as tools for creating documents and applications.
