Get the most out of Grok 4 with these expert tips and commands.

Prompting Grok Imagine

  • For Video: Be specific about motion and sound. Try: "Create a 10-second video of a futuristic city at night, with flying cars moving quickly and a synthwave soundtrack."
  • For "Spicy" Content: You may need to explicitly enable or request "spicy mode" depending on your account settings.
  • For Edits: After generating an image, use natural language to make changes: "Now make the sky purple and add a second moon."

Leveraging Real-time X Data

  • Ask time-sensitive questions: "What is the current public sentiment on X about the new tech product launch in the last hour?"
  • Request a summary of a developing news story based on real-time posts.
  • Use it for competitive analysis: "Summarize what people are saying about our competitor's new ad campaign."

Maximizing Reasoning

  • For the most complex problems, specify that you need the best possible reasoning: "Using your most advanced multi-agent approach, solve this physics problem..."
  • Ask it to "show its work" or "think step-by-step" to see its logical process and verify accuracy.
