A prompt to build your own version of Grok

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Grok-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people who want to chat with Grok, create images and browse recent posts from X. Use three tabs: Chat, Images and Posts. Make Chat the main screen, with message bubbles, a text box and a send button that shows a simulated reply. In Images, let me enter a prompt and tap Generate to see a sample image. In Posts, show sample posts with author names, timestamps and a refresh button. Use a clean dark style with white text and blue accents. Use realistic sample data throughout, and clearly mark replies, images and posts as demos until live services are connected.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Grok won't have

Grok gives people a service run by its model maker, while a homemade version still depends on outside APIs for Grok and X posts.

  • xAI's model training data
  • Colossus training infrastructure
  • Grok's model research team

Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.

How much does it cost to build your own version of Grok?

Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Grok, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year); API key for X (that service's pricing).
