Elon Musk’s Grok 4 AI chatbot brings a new AI companion in anime form named Ani. 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 Her, and now Musk is making them a reality with the help of the latest Grok AI version.
The AI companion is part of the new SuperGrok premium subscription that comes for a monthly fee. 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’s Ani is here to offer that for people.
Grok’s Ani AI Companion: What Is It And How It Works
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.
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: .
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.
How To Enable Companions On SuperGrok?
- Open the Grok app
- Buy the SuperGrok subscription for your account
- Click on the two-bar on the top left
- Tap on the toggle bar for companions
- Choose one AI companion
- Start talking with the virtual AI chatbot
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.
