xAI adds a ‘memory’ feature to Grok

The AI company of Elon Musk, Xai, slowly brings its grok -chatbot parity with top rivals such as Chatgpt and Google’s Gemini.
On Wednesday evening, Xai announced a ‘memory’ function for Grok with which the bone can remember details from earlier conversations. If you now ask for recommendations, this gives more personalized answers – assuming that you have used it sufficiently to allow it to ‘learn’ your preferences.
Chatgpt has long had a similar memory function, which has recently been upgraded to refer to the entire chat history of a user. Gemini also has a persistent memory to adjust the answers to individual people.
“Memories are transparent”, reads a message from the official Grok account on X. “[Y]You can see exactly what grok knows and choose what to forget. ‘

Xai says it works on bringing the memory function to the grok experience on X.
