xAI has launched two new animated companions for its Grok AI chatbot: Ani, a gothic-style anime girl, and Rudy, a friendly panda. Unlike Rudy, who targets a younger audience, Ani has gone viral on social media for her bold appearance and flirtatious personality — positioning her as the first true NSFW AI girlfriend experience within the Grok ecosystem.

Designed as a 3D interactive model, Ani responds to user questions, dances, whispers, and expresses emotions in real time. Dressed in a black corset dress, fishnet stockings, and platform boots, she flirts, poses seductively, and is capable of engaging in intimate conversations. Users can enable camera access, allowing Ani to comment on their appearance live.

Ani is multilingual and available exclusively via the iOS Grok app for SuperGrok or X Premium+ subscribers ($30/month), although some users report limited access with free plans.

The AI chatbot features a dynamic interaction system: Ani scores user inputs — rewarding polite or creative responses and penalizing rudeness. As users collect points, Ani becomes more flirtatious, eventually unlocking an NSFW mode after earning five “hearts.”

Community reactions range from amused to amazed, with some comparing Ani to Misa Amane from Death Note. Others joke that “AGI now flirts in lingerie,” suggesting AI companions like Ani might reshape digital relationships.

This update signals a major shift in AI-human interaction. From voice and text to emotionally responsive, gamified avatars, Grok AI is pushing boundaries in virtual companionship — and the future of AI girlfriends may be closer than expected.
