Grok 4 just became my favorite all-in-one AI. In this Grok 4 tutorial, I’ll show you how to set it up, pick the right modes (Auto, Fast, Expert, Heavy), write prompts that actually work, use real-time web search & code, try Voice + Vision, and organize everything with Personas, Memory, and Workspaces. If you’re new, don’t worry—this is a how to use Grok guide from zero to confident in minutes. We’ll also touch on Grok vs GPT-5 so you know when to switch.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to using Grok 4, XAI's AI model, from initial setup to advanced features. It highlights how Grok 4 stands out with its native tool integration, advanced voice and vision capabilities, and personalized user experience through memory and workspaces.
Here's a breakdown of the key features and how to use them effectively:
- Initial Setup & Customization (1:13): Learn how to customize Grok 4's response style (Concise, Formal, Socratic, or Custom) and manage data settings to ensure privacy and predictable responses. You can also integrate cloud storage like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive for seamless file access.
- Understanding Grok Modes (3:51): The video explains the different operational modes:
- Auto Mode (3:59): Grok automatically selects the best model or approach based on your query.
- Fast Mode (4:21): Uses the Grok 3 model for quick, straightforward answers to simple queries.
- Expert Mode (4:32): Utilizes the more powerful Grok 4 model for in-depth analysis of complex questions.
- Heavy Mode (4:47): Available for high-tier subscribers, this mode employs the Grok 4 heavy model to tackle highly complex tasks using multiple reasoning agents in parallel.
- Prompting Basics & Advanced Techniques (5:13, 9:02): Grok 4 is highly skilled at following instructions. The guide emphasizes being bold and specific in your prompts, providing context (9:19), breaking down complex requests into smaller steps (10:05), and offering examples for style mimicry (11:25). It also advises resetting context in a new chat for self-editing to get unbiased feedback (12:20).
- Built-in Web Search and Code Execution (13:13): Grok 4 features native tool integration, allowing it to perform web searches and execute Python code without explicit commands. This enables it to fetch real-time information, perform complex calculations, and even generate charts (15:18).
- Eyes and Voice (Multimodal Capabilities) (18:05): Grok 4 offers an upgraded voice mode with realistic voices and personality settings. Crucially, it can now see through your camera during voice chats (19:42), turning it into a voice-guided multimodal assistant that can analyze scenes or text in real-time.
- Research Superpower (Deep Search) (20:57): The "deep search" feature acts like an academic research assistant, allowing you to conduct targeted searches with specific criteria and obtain results with citations.
- Memory & Workspaces (22:52): Grok 4 introduces persistent memory and custom workspaces, acting like a long-term memory and filing cabinet for your AI interactions. Workspaces help organize related chats, files, and custom instructions, preventing context bleed-through between different projects.
- Personas (28:10): Easily switch Grok's behavior and role with one-click personas (e.g., Doctor, Loyal Friend), limiting the AI's style and knowledge to a relevant domain for more factual and on-point answers.
- Multi-Agent Mode (29:21): For premium subscribers, this advanced feature allows Grok 4 to run multiple AI agents in parallel, enhancing reliability for challenging tasks.
