Last night (26), Musk himself and the official Grok account also confirmed this on the X platform. Grok now on @Telegram https://t.co/a35Eal9vkj — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 26, 2025 Grok on Telegram is only available for Premium users According to tests in the community, Grok on Telegram is currently only available for free to Telegram Premium users, and regular users cannot use the AI bot on TG. Additionally, users are reminded that there are many impersonating Grok bots on Telegram. If users want to use the official Grok on TG, please follow the process: enter '@GrokAI' in the Telegram message search bar and select the bot with the TG username @GrokAI to start a conversation. What impact does the integration of Grok into Telegram have? For Grok: According to Telegram's official statement, the application currently has over 1 billion monthly active users. By integrating Grok, Telegram will undoubtedly help further popularize Grok. For Telegram: Currently, Grok is only available for Premium subscribers on Telegram, which may drive more users to upgrade to paid plans, enhancing Telegram's revenue sources. On the other hand, Grok's addition allows Telegram users to use the AI assistant directly in the chat interface without switching applications. This seamless integration may increase user stickiness, especially for individuals and businesses that need quick information or automated services. For users: The integration of Grok into Telegram can provide a more convenient channel for AI-needing users, but it is still unclear how Grok processes data on Telegram, which may raise privacy concerns. For the entire AI industry: The integration of Grok into Telegram may stimulate other AI giants (like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Google's Gemini) to accelerate cooperation with communication platforms or launch similar features, such as WhatsApp, which is under Meta. Note: Grok's two latest features, DeepSearch and Think, are still only available on the Grok app, official website, and X platform, and cannot run on TG.
