This virtual character can interact with people, and probably go further into the conversation, sharing personal information with AI. You have seen AI companions in movies like <em>Her<\/em>, and now Musk is making them a reality with the help of the latest Grok AI version.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The AI companion is part of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/grok-4-launch-elon-musks-xai-company-brings-new-ai-chatbot-check-subscription-price-and-key-features-9432225.html\">SuperGrok premium subscription that comes for a monthly fee<\/a>. The use of AI chatbots has gone beyond asking complex questions and solving problems, people are clearly now looking to take things further with AI and Grok\u2019s Ani is here to offer that for people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Grok\u2019s Ani AI Companion: What Is It And How It Works<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The real-time virtual AI companion has been built on the Grok 4 AI model and available with the SuperGrok premium plan that costs $30 or Rs 700 per month if you are in India. SuperGrok brings increased access to Grok 4, and Grok 3 AI models, context memory of up to 128,000 tokens, voice chat with vision and everything included in the free or basic plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Talking about the Ani AI companion, it basically shows up on the screen if you take the SuperGrok plan and you can manually enable it from the settings of the Grok app. This is what the interface for AI companion Ani looks like, as shared by one of the users on X recently: .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The AI character can be seen moving in the background and you have the chatbox at the bottom of the interface. You also have the camera, mic and audio icons along with the option to stop the AI companion from chatting. It seems Grok is also giving you the option to capture a screenshot or clip of the AI companion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>How To Enable Companions On SuperGrok?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Open the Grok app<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Buy the SuperGrok subscription for your account<\/li>\n<li>Click on the two-bar on the top left<\/li>\n<li>Tap on the toggle bar for companions<\/li>\n<li>Choose one AI companion<\/li>\n<li>Start talking with the virtual AI chatbot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Some users suggest Grok is only offering this AI feature for iPhone users right now, and the Android version could roll out in the next few weeks or months. Musk says this is just a soft launch and it will be easier to turn on the AI companion in a few days. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1cb0ad73008388e4 jsx-3634168933 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
