Documentation for Grokipedia

Effective Date: November 02, 2025

Welcome to the Grokipedia documentation. Grokipedia is an open-source, AI-powered encyclopedia created by xAI. You can visit it at https://grokxpedia.us/. It uses Grok AI to write, check, and update information automatically. The goal is to share clear and reliable knowledge on topics like science, history, and everyday life.

This guide explains how Grokipedia works, its features, and future plans. It is useful for readers, developers, and contributors. For API information, please see xAI's official developer documentation.

1. Introduction

Grokipedia's main goal is to make knowledge available to everyone. It uses AI to create honest and accurate articles. It launched on October 27, 2025 (version 0.1) with about 885,000 articles. At first, it used data from Wikipedia, but in the future, it will rely on Grok's own information.

Main Principles

  • Truth-Seeking: Grok AI always tries to give the most truthful answer, inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
  • Transparency: All changes show time and date with "fact-checked by Grok."
  • Open Source: The Grokipedia code is available on GitHub for everyone to review or improve.

Note: Grokipedia also includes food-related content, but it is not only about food. Websites about food can use Grokipedia's AI features through xAI tools.
