The startup of Elon Musk's artificial intelligence, xAI, will be integrated into his social media platform X. The platform will also be available as an independent app, the Tesla CEO said on Sunday 5 November at a post on platform X.

The Billionaire also said that xAI had released its first artificial intelligence model, a bot called Grok. Even this bot is available to all X Premium+ subscribers on Friday, November 3.

This startup wants to create an artificial intelligence tool that "helps humanity in its quest for understanding and knowledge". Grok has been designed to answer questions with little intelligence.

Musk, who has criticized Big Tech's artificial intelligence efforts as full of sensors, in July launched xAI. He called it Microsoft's "maximal truth-finding artificial intelligence" seeking to understand the nature of the universe to rival the Bard of Google and the Microsoft Bing AI.

"Grok has access to information in real-time through platform X, which is a huge advantage compared to other models," Musk added.

X, a social media company formerly known as Musk's Twitter, is separate from xAI, but the two companies work closely together. xAI also works with its electric car manufacturers, Tesla, and other companies.

Last week, Musk told British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that he considers artificial intelligence as "the most disruptive force in history." This technology will be able to "do everything" and make jobs as we know it today obsolete. Musk stated that in the first AI Safety Summit, at Bletchley Park, England.

In 2015, Musk became co-founder of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has created an uproar for generative AI technology around the world, but resigned from the board in 2018.
