Exciting news from xAI! They’ve just rolled out a new vision feature for Grok’s voice mode on iOS. This means you can now use your device’s camera to capture visual data, which Grok can then process and describe to you through voice. While they’re still working on full visual analysis capabilities, this update is a big step forward in making Grok more versatile and competitive with other AI platforms.
This new feature is part of xAI’s broader mission to enhance app functionality. It marks a significant milestone in their journey to move beyond just text-based interactions. If you’re familiar with Grok, you know it already offers a range of interaction styles—like ‘unhinged’, ‘romantic’, and ‘genius’—to make your experience more personalized. However, it’s important to note that you can’t yet customize voice mode instructions, which might limit how much you can tailor it to your needs.
As for when everyone will get this new vision feature, that’s still a bit up in the air. But the fact that it’s available on iOS suggests xAI is actively testing it out. If you’re eager to try it, just update your Grok app to the latest version on iOS.
