Apple CarPlay recently gained support for AI chatbots, and the third app to add support is coming soon: Grok.
Latest Update
For now, the app just launches with a message for users: “Grok Voice mode coming soon to CarPlay.” Grok is already a built-in feature on Tesla vehicles. The upcoming CarPlay support will bring the AI chatbot experience to almost every other car on the road.
Google hasn’t shown signs of supporting CarPlay with Gemini, but Google’s Gemini models will help power the new Siri in iOS 27 later this year. Apple is also expected to launch a dedicated Siri app, which will presumably work with CarPlay as well.
Hopefully the team at X is considering CarPlay support for the recently launched XChat app as well. You can see the top CarPlay apps already available here.
Grok for iOS is available on the App Store.

Details
The latest version of Grok for iPhone already includes a placeholder app for Apple CarPlay. Grok’s CarPlay app doesn’t actually work yet, but the placeholder app confirms that xAI is planning to support Apple’s in-car experience soon.
Isn’t this also the same AI that was involved in antisemitism and CSAM manipulation/generation just recently? I can’t speak for everyone but I wouldn’t want to affiliate myself with anything or anyone connected to it but you do you.
When Grok Voice mode arrives on CarPlay soon, it will join ChatGPT and Perplexity to the party.
