How to get the latest news with Grok AI

In the era of information explosion, do you feel a little overwhelmed to keep up with the ever-changing global dynamics in time? There are too many news pushes and it is hard to see, and it is difficult to tell whether the news on social media is true or false. If you're looking for a smarter and more direct way to get the latest news, you've probably heard of Grok AI .

Grok is a conversational artificial intelligence developed by xAI (yes, that team from Elon Musk). One of its biggest features is that it can directly access real-time information on the X (formerly Twitter) platform.

But how does this work? For ordinary users, especially those who are new to AI, how can we effectively use Grok to get the news we want to watch? Don't worry, this guide is for you. We will take you step by step to understand how to make Grok a right-hand assistant to understand the world.

Grok's "Only Tips" for Getting News: Real-time X Platform Information Flow

Imagine that when a major event occurs, the X platform is filled with first-time reactions, eyewitness descriptions and various discussions. The advantage of Grok is that it can "splash" into this huge real-time information pool and try to summarize and extract relevant content based on your questions.

How is this different from a traditional search engine or news app?

• It could be faster : For emergencies, Grok may be able to capture information faster than formal press releases that have been edited and reviewed.

• The perspective may be more diverse : it touches the original sound from all parties (which, of course, also means that the information may be more chaotic and needs to be distinguished).

• Interactive acquisition : Instead of receiving information passively, you can interact with Grok through questioning, requesting clarification, etc. to dig deep into the points you are interested in.

Beginners on the road: Easily grasp the steps to get information with Grok

It is not complicated to make Grok serve you. Think of it as a well-informed but sometimes a little "skinned" friend, you need to tell it clearly what you want to know.

1. Visit Grok: https://www.tkj.ai/ai-tools/grok

First, you need to be able to use Grok. Usually, this requires you to be a subscription user of X Premium (or Premium+ ). You can find the entrance to Grok in the sidebar of X platform.

2. Start a conversation and clarify your needs

• Ask a direct question : The easiest way is to ask directly. For example: "What's important news in the tech world today?" or "What's the latest developments now about [a particular event]?"

• Specify the scope : You can be more specific. “Summary to me the main news about [a company] in the past 1 hour.”

• Seeking different perspectives : “What are the different opinions about [a policy]?”

3. Understand Grok's answer pattern

Grok sometimes provides answers to " Fun mode " and " Regular mode ". The former may be more colloquial, a little humorous or even ironic, while the latter is relatively serious and direct. You can choose which version of the answer to see based on your preferences or the importance of the information. It is important to verify information by noting whether it clearly indicates the source of the information or gives a reference link.

4. Ask questions and clarification

If Grok's answer is too vague, or if you want to know more details, don't hesitate and keep asking!

• "Can you elaborate on [a certain point]?"

• “Is this source reliable?”

• "Are there any other related reports?"

• “How could this matter have on [a field/group]?”

• As specific as possible: vague questions (such as "What news?") may result in unsatisfactory results. The clearer the question, the more focused the answer given by Grok is usually.

• Try different questions : If the result of the first question is not ideal, try changing the angle or keyword.

• Use Grok's summary ability : For complex events, you can ask Grok to help you sort out the timeline or summarize key points.

Keep thinking critically (extremely important!)

This is the golden rule for using any AI tool to get information. Grok’s information comes from X, which means it may be exposed to rumors, biases, or inaccurate information. Never take Grok's answer as the final fact. When you see information that surprises or doubts, be sure to verify it from multiple parties and find reliable news sources for verification.

Understand its "personality"

Grok is designed to be somewhat “rebellious” and a sense of humor. Understanding this will help you interpret its answers better and avoid being deviated by its tone.

Some things you need to know to pay attention to

Although Grok is an interesting tool, it is important to be clear about its limitations:

1. Information Accuracy Issues : As mentioned earlier, real-time information flow means mixed, and Grok may repeat errors or biased information. Verify! Verify! Verify again!

2. Relying on X platform : Grok's information breadth and depth are limited by the content ecosystem of X platform.

3. Possible bias : AI’s training data and algorithms may have potential biases that can affect how and angle it presents information.

4. Subscription Required : Currently using Grok usually requires a paid subscription to the X Premium service.

Summary: Grok is a tool, thinking depends on yourself

Grok AI provides us with a novel and quick way to understand current events, especially for those who want to get real-time information from the X platform and don’t mind its unique “personality”.
