How to use these prompts

Copy a prompt, replace every [BRACKETED] part with your real details, and send it. If the answer is generic, add one more constraint (reader, length, example) in the same chat.

Everyday Grok Chat prompts

#1Straight answer, then nuance

[QUESTION]. Give me the direct answer in 2 sentences first, then the main caveats in 3 bullets, then what would change the answer.

#2Explain like a friend who is an expert

Explain [TOPIC] like a friend who is an expert in it: plain words, one real-world example, one common misconception, and a 3-question check at the end so I know I got it.

#3Decision helper

I am choosing between [OPTION A] and [OPTION B] for [PURPOSE]. My priorities in order: [1], [2], [3]. Score both 1-5 on each with one line of reasoning, recommend one, and tell me what fact would flip it. Mark any uncertain number as [CHECK].

Real-time X and News prompts

Posts on X are claims, not facts. Ask for links and open the important ones.

#16Tool comparison

Compare [TOOL A], [TOOL B] and [TOOL C] for [USE CASE] for a team of [N]. Use official pricing and docs pages plus practitioner discussion on X and forums. Table: price, key features, limits, integrations, common complaints. Recommend one and say what would change the pick.

Writing for X and Social prompts

#21X thread from an idea

Write an X thread of [N] posts about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. Post 1 is a hook that states the payoff, each post under 280 characters, one idea per post, a concrete example in at least 2 posts, last post a summary and a soft call to action. No hashtags spam, max 1 hashtag.

#2210 post angles

Give me 10 different angles for a post about [TOPIC]: contrarian, story, data, how-to, mistake, list, question, before/after, behind the scenes, prediction. One draft post under 280 characters for each.

#23Reply that adds value

Here is a post I want to reply to: [PASTE]. Write 3 replies under 200 characters that add something new (a data point, an example, a good question). Respectful, no flattery, no self-promotion.

Think Mode: Analysis, Maths and Code promptsThink

#28Step-by-step problem

Solve this step by step and check your answer at the end: [PROBLEM]. If there are several valid approaches, show the simplest one first.

Grok Imagine: Images and Short Videos promptsImagine

Rules: only upload photos of yourself or people who agreed, never create images that impersonate or sexualise real people, and no fake documents or fake news images. xAI restricts edits of real people; respect it.

#35Product scene (your own product)

Using my product photo, place the exact same [PRODUCT] in [SETTING] with soft natural light. Keep the shape, colours and label exactly as in the photo. No extra text.

Tasks and Projects prompts

#39Daily news brief (Task)

Every [WEEKDAY] at [TIME]: give me the 5 most important developments in [TOPIC] from the last 24 hours, one line each on why they matter, with links. Skip anything I would already know from yesterday's brief.

How to use Grok AI

Grok is the assistant from xAI. You can use it at grok.com, in the Grok app and inside X. Features and limits depend on your plan.

Ask about now

Grok can read recent posts on X. Ask "what are people saying about [TOPIC] in the last 24 hours" and ask it to link the posts it used.

Use DeepSearch for reports

For a longer, sourced answer switch on DeepSearch. Give it a clear question and the decision you are making.

Switch on Think for hard problems

Maths, logic, code and multi-step plans come out better with Think mode on.

Imagine for images and short video

Grok Imagine creates images and short clips from a text prompt or your own photo. Describe subject, style and motion separately.

Check the sources

Posts on X can be wrong or satirical. Ask Grok to separate confirmed facts from claims and to show where each came from.

A Grok prompt template for real-time research

Replace every [BRACKETED] part. Keep the last line: it stops the AI from guessing.

Using posts on X and news from the last [TIME RANGE], tell me what is being said about [TOPIC]. Separate confirmed facts from claims and opinions. Give me 5 bullets, the 3 most useful posts with links, and what is still unclear.
