The feature is available to all SuperGrok and Premium+ X subscribers on iOS and can turn text or image prompts into a 15-second video with native audio.

David Perell calls AI both a challenge and a gift for writers. In this deep, personal guide, he opens up about how AI has changed the way he writes every single day.
