Grok Voice Mode for web spotted in early development

xAI, founded by Elon Musk, is developing Grok Voice Mode for the web, aiming to bring its voice-based AI assistant beyond mobile platforms. This feature lets users interact with Grok using speech, supporting hands-free, real-time conversations that resemble natural dialogue. Voice Mode is already available on iOS and Android, where users can choose from different personalities and benefit from real-time voice captioning. The web version is still in early development and is expected to launch without camera and screen sharing, which are present on mobile through Grok Vision.

The update will help those who prefer voice input or need hands-free access, such as professionals, students, and users with accessibility needs. Users will likely find a microphone icon or a voice mode toggle in the Grok web interface, similar to the mobile experience. Once enabled, users can speak to Grok, select personalities, and receive spoken responses.

Besides this, xAI is working on a new sidebar, Slack connector and many other smaller improvements!

xAI has been updating Grok with features like free Voice Mode for Android, memory recall, and multimodal support. The company is focused on matching competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini, emphasizing natural conversation, customizable personalities, and integration with real-time information from X. Adding Voice Mode to the web fits this strategy, aiming to make Grok available across all major platforms.
