Grok AI, powered by 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs and trained on 12.8 trillion tokens, is xAI's latest AI system in 2025. Known for its speed and precision, Grok 3 features a 128,000-token context window, a 67ms average response time, and specialized tools like DeepSearch for research and Think Mode for problem-solving. Here's what you need to know:
To get started, subscribe to X Premium+, access Grok AI via the X interface, and use clear, specific prompts for the best results. While Grok AI is powerful, it has limitations, such as daily usage caps and occasional inaccuracies, so always verify critical information.
Now that you know what Grok AI can do, let’s walk through how to set it up.
To use Grok AI, you’ll need an X Premium+ subscription. Here’s how to get started.
X Premium+ gives you access to Grok AI at different price points depending on how you subscribe:
| Platform | Monthly Cost | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Web (Best Option) | €16.00 | €168.00 |
| Mobile App | €21.49 | €224.99 |
Follow these steps to set up your account:
Keep in mind that subscriptions renew automatically, so if you want to cancel, do so at least 24 hours before the renewal date .
Once your subscription is active, accessing Grok AI is straightforward. Look for the Grok icon in your X interface:
Before diving in, it’s important to understand both the strengths and limitations of Grok AI.
"The world's smartest AI, Grok 3, now available for free (until our servers melt)." - Elon Musk
Benefits for Premium+ Subscribers:
Current Limitations:
To make the most of Grok AI, plan your usage carefully, especially for tasks that require extensive research or advanced features like DeepSearch or Big Brain mode.
Now that Grok AI is ready to go, let's dive into its key commands.
Grok AI operates in two distinct modes:
| Mode | Best For | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Mode | Professional tasks, factual research | Clear, precise responses |
| Fun Mode | Casual chats, creative tasks | Playful, humorous interactions |
Tips for Effective Commands:
"Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don't use it if you hate humor!" - xAI website
These modes lay the groundwork for using Grok AI's summarization and data retrieval features.
Grok AI also excels at summarizing and retrieving data, making it a powerful tool for research and analysis.
Real-Time Data Capabilities:
Some of Grok AI's standout features include:
To get the best results, be specific with your search queries. For example, instead of asking, "Tell me about AI", refine it to something like, "Summarize the latest developments in generative AI over the past month, focusing on enterprise applications."
DeepSearch changes the way you approach research by combining real-time data with advanced reasoning. Unlike regular search engines that just show links, it processes and interprets information to provide clear, actionable results.
Here’s what makes DeepSearch stand out:
| Feature | Function | What It Does for You |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time Analysis | Pulls the latest data from the web and X platform | Keeps your information current |
| Data Synthesis | Resolves conflicting data points | Delivers accurate, well-supported summaries |
| Intelligent Processing | Goes beyond basic links to interpret data | Gives you actionable insights |
| Citation Integration | Adds source references to results | Boosts credibility and trust |
Next, let’s look at how Think Mode simplifies solving complex problems.
Think Mode is Grok AI’s reasoning tool for handling tough, multi-step problems. It breaks down complicated questions into smaller parts and shows its thought process as it works.
Here’s how to use it:
"Grok 3's Think Mode is a cutting-edge reasoning feature designed to tackle intricate problems with human-like, step-by-step logic." - OLIVER BLACK WOOD 8, Author
Now, let’s see how connecting Grok AI with Latenode can take its functionality even further.
By integrating Grok AI with Latenode, you can unlock powerful workflow automation. Latenode is a low-code platform that lets you create advanced AI-driven workflows without needing extensive coding skills.
Key features include:
Start with Latenode’s free plan and scale up as your needs grow. Its time-based pricing model ensures you only pay for what you use, making it a cost-effective way to enhance Grok AI workflows.
Crafting effective prompts is crucial for getting accurate and relevant results from Grok AI. The trick? Be clear, specific, and provide enough context.
Here’s how to make your prompts more effective:
| Component | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Add detailed context to your prompt | "As a financial analyst examining Q4 2024 tech trends..." |
| Role Assignment | Define the AI's expertise | "Act as a cybersecurity expert with focus on blockchain" |
| Response Format | Specify how the output should look | "Provide a detailed analysis with 3-4 key points" |
| Context Boundaries | Clearly set the scope | "Consider only peer-reviewed studies from 2023-2025" |
"With GPT, it's to your advantage to make the prompt longer. The prompt - or what it's asking GPT - requires accuracy and contextual information. That's where we find the magic." - John Nosta, CEO of NostaLab
By framing your prompts thoughtfully, you can ensure smoother and more consistent interactions.
Keeping track of prior exchanges is essential for maintaining coherence in your discussions with Grok AI. When switching topics, make the transition clear so the AI can adjust its focus.
Here are some tips for managing context effectively:
Proactively managing context will help you avoid confusion and keep your discussions on track.
Grok AI isn’t perfect, and recognizing its limitations can help you handle common issues. For example, in August 2024, it gave incorrect information about political ballot deadlines, underscoring the need for fact-checking .
Here’s how to address frequent problems:
| Issue | Solution | Prevention Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate Info | Cross-check with reliable sources | Specify credible sources in your prompt |
| Vague Responses | Ask for examples and data | Include detailed parameters in your query |
| Context Loss | Stick to one topic at a time | Break complex queries into smaller parts |
| Training Limits | Use time-specific queries | Request real-time verification |
"Being proud of Grok because it is snarky is one thing. Not stopping it from being a liar is strikingly more damaging." - Kristian Hammond, Bill and Cathy Osborn Professor of Computer Science, Director of the Center for Advancing Safety of Machine Intelligence (CASMI), Director of the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MSAI) Program
Grok AI is shaping the future of business automation and decision-making in 2025 with its real-time processing, advanced research tools, and smooth integration with platforms like Latenode.
The platform's real-time processing allows for quicker decisions. Tools such as DeepSearch and Think Mode provide in-depth analysis to solve complex problems. When paired with automation platforms like Latenode, Grok AI enhances operations by automating repetitive tasks.
