🖼️ Grok Imagine — Free fast image & video generation

This paragraph walks through using Grok Imagine (the Grok AI assistant app from XAI) to generate images and convert them into short videos. It starts with basic setup: install the Grok app from the App Store or Play Store, create an account and sign in, then open the app and tap the top-right “Imagine” option. From there use the “Type to imagine” box to enter a prompt (example used: “Cat on a blue whale hyper realistic”) and run it — the system returns many generated images and numerous variations (different styles, angles and poses). You can tap any image to view and download it. The script then demonstrates converting an image into a video using the “Make video” action; videos are created in seconds and include audio. There are generation modes such as Custom, Spicy, Fun and Normal — Custom accepts additional prompt text but in the example it produced only subtle changes. The video gallery (left panel) stores generated videos and lets you long-press to remove (unlike) or download them. The Explore screen lets you convert other people’s images to video and also upload your own photo via the photo icon next to “Type to imagineGrok Imagine tutorial”; an uploaded image is automatically converted into a video with convincing physics and sound. The narrator notes Elon Musk tweeted Grok Imagine’s image/video generation is free worldwide for a limited time (previously a subscription feature), but the duration of the free offering is unknown — so users are encouraged to try it now and subscribe later if it becomes paid. The paragraph ends with a short channel CTA asking viewers to check the playlist, subscribe, and thanks them for watching.
