The Grok AI app, which made headlines last week for its antisemitic posts, has now added AI companions that users can interact with in real time. At launch, Grok AI’s Companions will be available to SuperGrok subscribers ($30 per month). This is just a “soft launch,” and enabling the feature will get much easier in a few days, said xAI owner Elon Musk on Monday. To interact with a Grok Companion, tap the menu on the top left and choose either Ani or Rudi. Ani is an anime-inspired gothic avatar who speaks in a flirty tone, while Rudi is a cartoony teddy bear who is eager to tell stories. When I asked both Companions basic questions like who they are and what they do, the responses were surprisingly naughty. According to TestingCatalog, building a stronger bond with Ani also unlocks NSFW options for the AI avatar. Some of those NSFW conversations are already available on X. 👀 #grok #elonmusk #ai #aicompanions
