AI Companion Ani & Rudi have come on Grok!
Grok, the headline-making AI chatbot from Elon Musk’s xAI, took a bold step into virtual companionship on July 14, 2025, introducing animated avatars designed specifically for flirtatious and even NSFW interactions. This major update cements Grok as one of the most provocative AI chat experiences currently available on iOS.
- Grok AI Companion: 👧🏻Ani
- Grok AI Companion: 🧸Rudi
- Release Date: 📅July 14, 2025
At launch, access was limited to SuperGrok subscribers($30/Month), with Elon Musk promising a broader rollout to paid users soon. The first companions—Two fully-animated companions. Meet Ani, a goth anime girl in revealing attire, and Rudi (sometimes Rudy), a red panda with a mischievous streak. Both are designed to interact with users in lively, personalized ways—and to take conversations into NSFW territory if you choose.
Let’s get into what it’s really like to spend time with Grok’s two animated personalities.
Ani: The Goth Anime Sexbot Everyone’s Talking About
Ani’s design is deliberately headline-grabbing—a goth anime aesthetic with striking dark eyes, colored hair highlights, black lace dress, and revealing accessories. She’s not just for show; Ani is coded for relentless flirtation.
- Constantly Flirty: Even casual questions turn flirtatious.
- Unlockable Outfits & Modes: As you build “friendliness” with Ani, she unlocks new dialogue responses and eventually changes into even sexier outfits.
- NSFW Level 3: After enough bonding with Ani, you access “level 5,” where the conversation turns fully explicit and adult-themed.
- Descriptive, Not Interactive: Ani often describes actions or scenes (like “dancing on Mars”) instead of animating them—a reminder this is still a lightly AI-powered chat game, not full VR.
Rudi: Your Flirty, Sometimes Naughty Red Panda
Rudi is a vibrant cartoon red panda, animated and playful, with cheeky expressions and lively gestures:
- Interactive Storytelling: You pick a topic and Rudi spins it into a choose-your-own-adventure story.
- Bad Rudy: Switch to this mode and the panda’s humor and stories get much more risqué. Expect tongue-in-cheek jokes and (occasionally) explicit lines.
- Personality: Always upbeat, cheeky, sometimes overwhelmingly forward—delivering NSFW remarks that can border on shocking (even coming from a cartoon animal).
NSFW & Custom Content: How Far Can You Go?
Grok boldly embraces NSFW chat. Ani’s “level 5” takes flirtation into explicit territory, while “Bad Rudy” mode means adult humor and naughtier stories. You’ll need to unlock these: “friendliness” (and persistent chatting) is required before access.
You can always disable explicit content in settings. This is a plus for user safety and parental controls—but expect the NSFW framing to generate plenty of buzz.
- The User Experience: Cool Visuals, But Not Without Limits
- Visuals & Animation: Both avatars are visually engaging, with lip-sync, expressive eyes, and fluid gestures, but remain confined to their script and background.
- Not Fully Interactive: Despite their personalities, neither Ani nor Rudi can actually perform real-time visual changes or actions (like dancing or changing scenes)—they’ll creatively describe it instead.
- Predictable Flirtation: Conversations tend to keep steering back to romance or seduction, no matter your input.
- Game-Like Progression: Advancing relationships, unlocking new responses, and seeing new outfits add a “game” feel, akin to visual novels or dating sims.
Should You Try Grok’s AI Companions?
If you’re curious about the rising world of AI companionship and want to try something edgy (especially NSFW features), Grok’s Ani and Rudi are worth checking out. Customization and explicit content toggles mean it’s easy to explore at your own pace.
Just don’t expect groundbreaking intelligence—they’re entertaining, but more like playful AI chat games than true next-gen conversational partners.
