Elon Musk's Grok AI Now Gets ‘Vision Abilities' And Real-Time Voice Mode: What Is It And How It Works
Grok AI is gradually becoming as useful and powerful as Gemini AI and ChatGPT 4o version and most of these features are available for free.
Grok AI chatbot continues to become more effective as the days go and the latest addition to the platform is Grok Vision which basically uses your phone's camera to see and answer queries based on what it can see. xAI, the Elon Musk-owned company taking on OpenAI and Google AI, is building Grok into a resourceful AI tool which now also supports multilingual audio and real-time search in voice mode.
You might be thinking that ChatGPT 4o and Gemini AI already have these features, but their rival Grok AI clearly doesn't want to fall behind in the AI race.
Grok AI Vision: How It Works
The first thing you should know is that Grok Vision works on iOS and Android devices using the Grok app which sees itself as an AI assistant. xAI says the new Vision and real-time search is available for all users, including those on the SuperGrok plan using their Android phones.

As the name suggests, Grok AI gets a vision that can not only analyse images and video but also do it in real-time like the Gemini Live screen feature which is free for Android users. You can even upload a photo to Grok AI and seek inputs based on your needs, which could range from name of the product, to recommending similar products available on the internet. The new feature could help you solve complex problems just by sharing its photo and you can feed the prompt to get resolved.
The real-time search in voice mode also feels like a natural progression for Grok and again, nothing new in terms of how it works, as ChatGPT and Gemini already offer them. The support for multilingual audio will definitely help the AI chatbot understand people better, especially those who like talking in Hinglish, which is a mix of Hindi and English, very common with users in India.
Grok is also now capable of storing your queries like a history tab that Gemini and ChatGPT users also get. Having this support allows you to personalise the AI chatbot based on your preferences and past chats, that makes continuing the session easier at a later time.
You even get the Grok Studio that can help you collaborate on documents, write an essay or even help with coding. The platform will let you access the content in a separate window which makes it easy to collaborate with the AI chatbot.

OpenAI signs MoU with IndiaAI Mission to launch OpenAI Academy in India
New Delhi: OpenAI has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government's IndiaAI Mission to launch the OpenAI Academy in India. As part of the agreement, the partnership will deliver artificial intelligence (AI) training content through both the OpenAI Academy and the IndiaAI FutureSkills portal. It also includes public sector training programmes available in English, Hindi and four regional languages. This marks the platform's first international rollout. With the second-largest number of ChatGPT users, India ranks among the top countries actively building AI technologies, said Jason Kwon, chief strategy officer at OpenAI. You may be interested in Speaking at the event, Abhishek Singh, chief executive officer (CEO) of the IndiaAI Mission, acknowledged that one major challenge in advancing AI development in India has been access to computing power. However, he noted that this has been addressed by 'providing around 34,000 GPUs (graphics processing units) at affordable rates—less than a dollar per GPU hour—significantly lower than global prices.' Regarding datasets, Singh highlighted that the AI Kosh platform offers comprehensive datasets across various domains, along with tools, models, and 'a sandbox environment to help innovators experiment and build AI solutions.' Through a virtual note, Ashwini Vaishnaw, minister for information and broadcasting and electronics and information technology, said that this partnership 'is a significant step towards advancing our shared goal of democratizing access to knowledge and technology.' The launch follows Kwon's global tour of engaging with policymakers on AI regulation and deployment. Last month, OpenAI also introduced data residency for Indian users, ensuring that data from ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu and the OpenAI API platform is now stored locally within India. This week, Open AI also extended its global AI for Impact Accelerator Program to India, marking the next phase of its initiative under the OpenAI Academy umbrella. As part of this expansion, 11 selected nonprofit organizations in India will receive a new round of API credits, bringing the total value of the technical grants to $150,000. This effort is in collaboration with philanthropic partners such as The Agency Fund, Tech4Dev and The programme offers nonprofits hands-on technical assistance, structured cohort-based learning and early access to OpenAI tools to help them implement AI-driven solutions for social impact.
