Grokipedia is xAI’s new AI-assisted encyclopedia, pitched as a less biased alternative to Wikipedia. The site went live on October 27 as version 0.1 with a dark interface, Grok branding, and roughly 885,000 entries — far fewer than Wikipedia’s multi-million article catalog.

Musk has framed the project as an effort to correct what he calls “bias and groupthink” in existing platforms, updating faster through xAI’s Grok model. Multiple outlets reported that Grokipedia crashed within hours of launch before returning later the same day, which xAI later acknowledged.

Early coverage and hands-on tests describe a familiar encyclopedia layout that leans on AI to draft and refresh articles from public sources and Grok’s reasoning abilities.

Reports note an entry count near 885,000 at launch, an interface resembling Wikipedia, and citation handling that differs from Wikipedia’s transparent revision system. Several write-ups observed that some pages closely mirror Wikipedia text while the platform limits general user edits in this early stage.

Supporters welcome the idea of an AI-accelerated knowledge base that can ingest real-time signals from the wider web and from X. Skeptics question reliability, governance, and sourcing. Just a few weeks ago, Elon Musk lamented Wikipedia’s “bias",” now Grokipedia will get it’s chance to do better, or worse, depending on who you ask.

Critics point to Grok’s past errors and sensational responses, the day-one outage, and the lack of Wikipedia-style talk pages or visible revision trails that show who changed what and why. Several reports also flagged ideological framing in sensitive topics and warned that if Grokipedia adapts Wikipedia text, it inherits the same editorial biases it claims to correct.

Key signals include whether xAI publishes a clear contributor policy, establishes an appeal process for contested facts, and releases versioned diffs for AI-generated changes.

Also watch how much Grok’s live web access influences updates and whether the team can scale content beyond the initial set without repeating the launch-day instability. Independent testers are likely to keep tracking accuracy, bias, and overlap with Wikipedia as the project matures.

Vibe Coding is a redesigned flow inside Google AI Studio that turns a plain-language idea (via voice or text) into a working AI app in minutes. You describe what you want; AI Studio selects the right Gemini capabilities, wires the necessary APIs, and scaffolds a runnable project.

The new App Gallery acts as a visual library of remixable starters, and an “I’m Feeling Lucky” button offers seeded ideas when you need inspiration. Google says the goal is to remove setup friction so you can move from concept to prototype without leaving the tool.

Start with one sentence — for example, “make a photo tool that converts product shots into studio packshots and shares a link.” AI Studio parses the description, chooses the relevant Gemini models, and assembles an app you can run immediately.

Then use Annotation Mode to refine it: highlight a button, card, or image and tell Gemini what to change, such as “make this button larger” or “animate these cards from the left.” If you reach the free-tier limit, add your own API key to continue; Studio automatically switches you back once the free quota renews.

The new workflow hides most of the glue code that usually slows early prototypes. There’s no need to juggle API keys, connect model calls, or bounce between documentation and SDKs just to see results.

A Brainstorming loading screen suggests context-aware ideas while your app builds, keeping you in a creative loop. For newcomers, it lowers the barrier to a first working prototype. For teams, it compresses hours of setup into minutes, letting them test more ideas quickly.

Expect deeper integration with Gemini tools, expanded third-party connectors in the App Gallery, and improved versioning so teams can compare multiple “vibes” for the same idea.

If Annotation Mode eventually supports data flows and app state — not just visual edits — AI Studio could evolve from a demo builder into a serious rapid-iteration platform for both engineers and non-technical creators.

Google also hints that developers can seamlessly swap between free and paid keys without losing progress, a key improvement for collaborative teams.

Here’s what to do:

🧠 Paste that prompt into Google AI Studio and let Vibe Coding build the first version automatically. Within seconds, Studio will generate a working prototype — buttons, input fields, charts, and all — powered by Gemini under the hood.

🎨 Open Annotation Mode to personalize it (check the video above to see what you can do with it). Highlight any element and make at least two quick tweaks, such as:

🚀 Preview and share. Once you like the vibe, hit Preview and ship it to yourself or a teammate using the share link. Try using it for a day or two to see if it feels natural.

💡 Extra step (optional): Add a short voice note input or an emoji selector for each entry and see if Gemini handles it automatically. This helps you understand how flexible Vibe Coding is with multimodal inputs.

✏️ Finish up. Write one sentence about what surprised you most — either how fast it worked or what didn’t translate quite right. Keep that note for next week’s build.

Will Grokipedia de-throne Wikipedia as the next “library” of the internet, or will it fizzle out? And, are you excited about the new vibe coding capabilities inside of Google AI Studio? See you next time! 🚀
