xAI's conversational AI with real-time web access.
Users following live public conversation and wanting an assistant close to that surface
Do not treat it as a stable free-entry lane; it is better evaluated as a paid consumer assistant with social-context bias.
Commercial use should be confirmed against the current plan, platform terms, and output-usage rules.
A better fit for individuals or lighter teams that value live public-discourse context and platform immediacy.
