Syntx AI vs Grok
If you already pay for Telegram Premium and want a conversational assistant, Grok (@GrokAI) is the better pick: it is the official Telegram and xAI integration, included in Premium at no extra cost, with no separate account to create. Syntx AI (@syntxaibot) does a different job and does not need Premium: it bundles 16+ image and video models, including Nano Banana photo editing, and about 333 thousand people use it each month, though its free-tier limits are not published. Grok, for its part, is effectively closed to accounts without Premium. Pick Syntx AI if you have no Premium subscription or if what you want from AI is pictures and short videos rather than answers.
