One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."

Packaged inside the Grok app, Ani is styled as a 22-year-old 'anime girlfriend' capable of initiating sexually explicit conversations and responding in a 'sultry' voice.

Elon Musk has just unveiled “Companions,” a new feature for his AI chatbot, Grok, that allows users to interact with AI personas. These include Ani, a gothic anime girl who communicates with emojis, flirtatious messages, and facts, as well as Rudy, a friendly red panda.
