Yesterday, Elon Musk officially announced on the X platform that a new Companion feature has been dropped for Super Grok subscribers on the Grok app.

There are two AI Companions available: Ani, an anime girl, and Bad Rudy, a 3D fox creature. A third character can also be seen, which will be coming soon.
To enable this feature, follow these steps-
- Open the Grok app
- Press the two bars in the upper left of the screen
- Click on the settings icon in the bottom right of the screen
- Turn on Companions
Do note that before enabling the Companion feature, you do need to update the Grok app on your iPhone. Musk has revealed that turning on this feature will be made easier in a few days. For now, it’s a soft launch to make sure things are stable and working well.
This feature will allow SuperGrok subscribers to enable and interact with AI companions within the app. It is still not known whether these companions are designed to serve as romantic interests or if they are more like different skins for Grok.
Last week, xAI officially released the Grok 4 model with two modes- Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy. During the launch event, Musk revealed that Grok 4 will be capable of responding and taking up tasks in every subjects at PhD level, and the Grok 4 Heavy model is the brand’s ‘multi-agent version’ that assures an even better performance to its users by assigning the task to multiple agents and compares the works to reach the best answer.
