Elon Musk’s xAI has rolled out a serious update to its Grok chatbot, introducing real-time vision and multilingual voice capabilities.
This positions Grok alongside AI giants like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT within the rapidly evolving AI assistant landscape.
The update
Grok’s latest “Vision” feature allows iPhone users to point their camera at objects and receive quick, context-aware responses. Whether it’s identifying a product or translating an indication, Grok leverages your camera feed to provide detailed answers.

Additionally, Grok now supports real-time voice interactions in over 145 languages, including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Turkish, and Hindi . This multilingual support enables users to converse naturally with the AI, breaking language barriers and enhancing accessibility.
The catch
While these features are currently exclusive to iOS users, Android users can access them by subscribing to the $30/month SuperGrok plan .
Grok’s advancements reflect a broader shift towards “agentic AI” systems able to perceiving their environment, setting goals, and making decisions with minimal human input. This evolution signifies a move from reactive assistants to proactive partners in every day tasks.
What else is latest with Grok
- Memory: Grok can now recall details from previous interactions, allowing for more personalized and coherent conversations.
- App builder: Users can generate applications or documents directly inside Grok, streamlining workflows and boosting productivity.
With these updates, Grok is rapidly catching as much as, and in some elements matching, competitors like Gemini and ChatGPT.
As AI assistants develop into more integrated into our every day lives, features like real-time vision and multilingual support are setting latest standards for user interaction and accessibility.
