Elon Musk recently posted about this feature on X, and the thread is buzzing with users trying it out. Here are some of the most interesting examples of Grok’s image analysis in action:
Finding Mario Hacks
One user had a hazy memory of a secret passage in Super Mario Bros but couldn’t recall how to access it. Grok solved the mystery instantly – just from a single photo of the TV screen!

Green Sea Turtle from Roatan Dive
Another user shared a photo of a green sea turtle from a dive in Roatan, Honduras. Grok identified the species and provided details about its habitat.
Got this 100% correct 👍 was a turtle from dive in Roatan Honduras.

Medical Report Analysis
A user uploaded an EEG report, and Grok recognized it as such. However, it didn’t describe the specific seizure patterns (generalized 3/sec spike wave associated with absence seizures, induced by hyperventilation). Still, it’s a step in the right direction for medical applications.

Feedback on Photography Skills
Grok even rated a user’s product photography, giving it an 8 out of 10 and offering suggestions for improvement.
Skin Problem Analysis
One user shared how Grok identified a skin condition in seconds – something that took months for a doctor to diagnose.
This is so true, I had a medical condition which took months for a doctor to see me and diagnose, guess what. Grok does it in 10 seconds. pic.twitter.com/nwpJn0AqzQ
