xAI adds a ‘memory’ feature to Grok
3 min read Grok Gets Smarter: xAI has added a “memory” feature to its chatbot, letting it recall past chats for more personalized replies. Unlike rivals, Grok’s memory is transparent—users can view and delete what it remembers. April 17, 2025 12:18
xAI is inching Grok closer to AI heavyweight status. On Wednesday night, Elon Musk’s AI company rolled out a new “memory” feature for its Grok chatbot, enabling it to recall details from previous conversations — a big step toward personalization and user-tailored responses.
How It Works: Now, Grok can remember your preferences, past interactions, and recurring prompts. If you’ve been chatting about travel ideas, fitness routines, or favorite books, expect more context-aware, customized replies.
The Catch-Up Game:
-
ChatGPT has had memory for a while and recently expanded it to reference your entire chat history.
-
Google’s Gemini also keeps persistent memory, helping it personalize answers over time.
But xAI is adding a unique spin. “Memories are transparent,” the official Grok account posted on X. Users can see what Grok remembers and even choose to delete specific memories, giving more control over personalization and privacy.
Why It Matters: This feature brings Grok closer to the capabilities of its top-tier rivals — and it’s doing so with user transparency at the core. For users looking for a chatbot that learns without going full black box, Grok’s latest update might be the sweet spot.
