The last two have no restrictions on words and the conversation a user can conduct with the chatbot. If you use these modes, the app will throw a message that “NSFW MODE ON, Please be respectful of those around you”.
The UI is simple, you need to select a voice, and a mode of conversation and press the start talking button. You can also share your conversation with the share button below or close the entire conversation at once.
Grok 3 is available for free for X, and a standalone Grok website. However, the voice mode is only available for premium+ and Supergrok subscribers.
