Of all the projects based on generative artificial intelligence, Grok is perhaps the most controversial; Elon Musk's AI does not care to present answers that Chatgpt and Gemini have not authorized or imagine.
But perhaps precisely for that, Grok has achieved some success, although for the moment, completely limited to the X platformThe social network formerly known as Twitter. This will now change from now.
The CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov, announced the signing of an agreement with XAI for the Grok Distribution via Telegram; An agreement that seeks to benefit both parties, although in a very different way.
On the one hand, Telegram will receive a payment from $ 300 millionaround 265.6 billion dollars, separating in cash and actions; Not only that, but Telegram will receive 50% of the income from XAI subscriptions to the application.
In return, Telegram now incorporates Grok directly into the application in different ways. In a video published in X, it is shown that one of these integrations will be found In the search barfrom where we can ask Grok.
Once a conversation with Grok is open, it will be shown as a Independent cat in Telegramwhere it will operate similar to the GROK section in the X application.
In addition, Grok can be integrated into our cats; The assistant itself You can act as a moderator of our telegram groupsExpeating users who do not respect the established rules.
🔥 This summer, telegram users will have access to the best AI technology on the market. @elon musk And I accepted a one -year partnership to bring xai @grok to our billions + users and integrate it into all telegram applications 🤝

To this, we must add a variety of generative AI functions, such as the Cat content summary; If we have not entered the group for a long time, this function will allow us to catch up.
Other functions can help us express ourselves with the rest of the Telegram users; For example, so that Grok helps us write a message With a certain style.
Content summary functions also attract attention, including Summary of links and documents shared in the cat; Instead of entering the page or downloading the file, Grok can summarize them.

For Elon Musk, this is a golden opportunity to widen the scope of its AI, which until now was limited to application X and its own website; This is an important step for Fight against his big rival, Openai.
For Telegram, this collaboration allows you the height of WhatsApp and Messenger, the two lines of finish which already have an integration with the AI objectives and are already able to do a lot of things that Grok now allows on Telegram.
Sin embargo, un detalle importante de esta colaboración es que Telegram no compartirá los datos de los usuarios con xAI; Durov ha confirmado personalmente que esa posibilidad no ha sido discutida con Elon Musk.
Los asistentes basados en IA generativa se han ganado críticas por la gran cantidad de datos personales que obtienen de los usuarios para poder funcionar correctamente; pero parece que Musk no obtendrá los datos de los usuarios de Telegram.
