Telegram's own integration of xAI's Grok model: chat with Grok directly inside Telegram, free for Telegram Premium subscribers as part of the official Telegram-xAI partnership.
GrokAI is not a third-party wrapper — it is the bot through which Telegram itself delivers access to Grok, xAI's language model, as part of a publicized partnership between Telegram and xAI. The bot's own profile is explicit about the terms: Grok is available for free to all Telegram Premium subscribers. In other words, the "cost" of this bot is not a separate subscription to Grok, but simply having Telegram Premium, Telegram's own paid tier that already unlocks reactions, larger uploads and other perks. For Telegram Premium users, this makes GrokAI one of the more frictionless ways to reach a frontier AI model: no separate account, no extra payment, no leaving the app. You can ask it questions, request explanations, and use it much like any other conversational AI assistant, with Grok's characteristic more informal, current-events-aware tone compared to some competitors. The catch is squarely about access: without an active Telegram Premium subscription, the bot is effectively gated, so it is not a free-for-everyone option the way some other bots on this list are. If you already pay for Telegram Premium, it is a genuinely useful bonus feature; if you don't, this may not be your most economical route to a ChatGPT-style assistant.

No — access is bundled into Telegram Premium, so if you already have that subscription, Grok is included at no extra cost.
The bot's own description states it is available to Telegram Premium subscribers, so a non-Premium account should not expect full access.
