Grokipedia, a digital encyclopedia powered by artificial intelligence, experienced a temporary outage just minutes after its official launch due to heavy server traffic, before returning online, according to U.S. media reports.
The American billionaire Elon Musk announced the launch of his new project, Grokipedia, an AI-driven digital encyclopedia designed to compete directly with the free knowledge giant, Wikipedia.
About Grokipedia
Grokipedia is a new digital platform similar in concept to Wikipedia, but it relies on generative AI instead of human editing. The site allows users to search for information and articles via a simple interface with a dark-themed logo. Musk described it as an effort to “rewrite human knowledge in a more accurate and objective way.”
According to Musk, the goal of the project is to “purify knowledge from propaganda,” which he believes dominates Wikipedia and traditional media. The AI in Grokipedia is designed to correct errors and add missing information.
How Grokipedia Works
Grokipedia functions as an AI-powered encyclopedic search engine, utilizing AI technologies developed by xAI, the same company behind the intelligent assistant Grok on X (formerly Twitter).
When a user types a topic into the search bar, the system automatically generates or displays an updated article using large datasets that the AI has been trained on.
Although the platform is still in its beta phase, it attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors within hours of its launch before experiencing a temporary outage due to server overload.
How to Use Grokipedia
To use Grokipedia:
-
Visit the official website.

Enter any topic in the search bar to instantly receive an AI-generated article.
Keep in mind that the site is still in beta, so occasional errors or temporary outages may occur while browsing.
