After reaching the milestone of 1 billion monthly active users, Telegram has officially integrated Grok AI, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI under the leadership of Elon Musk. This is considered an important step towards expanding the AI ecosystem on this popular messaging platform.

Grok AI on Telegram: Only Supporting Premium Users

Unlike on the social media platform X (Twitter), where all users can experience Grok AI, Telegram currently only allows Premium users to access this chatbot. Users can find the bot @GrokAI to start chatting right on the app.

However, some advanced features like "Think" (deep thinking) and "DeepSearch" (extended search) are not yet supported on Telegram. This may be because the platform is still in the process of optimization to ensure the best performance.

Telegram Strengthens AI, Competing with WhatsApp and Messenger

The integration of Grok AI on Telegram shows that the platform is working to enhance user experience by bringing conversational AI into its ecosystem. This helps Telegram compete more strongly with other messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which are also investing in AI chatbots.

Additionally, this move can attract more users to subscribe to Telegram Premium, contributing to increased revenue and maintaining the platform's ad-free business model.

With support from Elon Musk and the development potential of AI, Grok AI could become one of the important chatbot tools on Telegram, helping users access information and conversational support more quickly and intelligently.
