Did you know you can use a robot named Grok to reply to comments on X (old Twitter)? People in Kenya, India, and other places are using Grok to save time. It writes friendly, funny, or professional replies for you. Let us learn how to make Grok work for your account.
Step 1 Turn On Grok AI
First, you need to switch on Grok. Some accounts have it already. If yours does not, follow these steps.
- Open the X app.
- Tap the three-line menu button (top left).
- Go to Settings, then Preferences.
- Look for AI Tools and turn on Grok.
When Grok is ready, you will see a yellow checkmark by its name.

Step 2 Tell Grok What to Say
Tag Grok in your reply and tell it what to do. For example:
- If someone says, “Great photo!” reply: “@Grok, say thank you nicely!”
- If someone asks a question, reply: “@Grok, explain this in simple words.”
Grok reads the comment and writes a reply fast. Try adding words like “funny” or “serious” to change the style.
Step 3 Pick the Right Tone
Grok can sound like a friend, a teacher, or even a comedian. Tell it how to act.
Good examples
- “@Grok, reply like you’re joking.”
- “@Grok, answer this formally.”
- “@Grok, keep it short and happy.”
A bakery in Nairobi used Grok to reply to a customer who said, “Your bread is magic!” Grok wrote, “Thanks! Our baker is a wizard 🧙♂️.” Everyone loved it!

Things Grok Cannot Do Yet
Grok is smart but not perfect.
- It might give silly answers to serious questions.
- It works best in English and Hindi.
- Do not use it for sad messages (like apologies).
X is teaching Grok new tricks every month. Soon, it might speak more languages!
