Sample Output from Grok
Prompt: "Build a dice roller with animation"
import { useState } from "react"
const faces = ["⚀", "⚁", "⚂", "⚃", "⚄", "⚅"]
function DiceRoller() {
const [result, setResult] = useState(0)
const [rolling, setRolling] = useState(false)
const [history, setHistory] = useState<number[]>([])
const roll = () => {
setRolling(true)
let ticks = 0
const interval = setInterval(() => {
setResult(Math.floor(Math.random() * 6))
ticks++
if (ticks > 10) {
clearInterval(interval)
const final = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6)
setResult(final)
setHistory(prev => [final + 1, ...prev].slice(0, 10))
setRolling(false)
}
}, 80)
}
return (
<div className="text-center p-8">
<div className={`text-8xl mb-6 transition-transform ${rolling ? "animate-bounce" : ""}`}>
{faces[result]}
</div>
<button onClick={roll} disabled={rolling}
className="px-8 py-3 bg-purple-600 text-white rounded-full text-lg disabled:opacity-50">
{rolling ? "Rolling..." : "Roll Dice"}
</button>
{history.length > 0 && (
<div className="mt-4 flex gap-2 justify-center">
{history.map((v, i) => (
<span key={i} className="text-2xl opacity-50">{faces[v - 1]}</span>
))}
</div>
)}
</div>
)
}Grok's creative flair shows: Unicode dice faces instead of plain numbers, an interval-based rolling animation for suspense, and a fading history trail. It makes playful, engaging UI choices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Grok good for code generation?
Yes. Grok by xAI is well-suited for code generation, with great code output quality and strengths in Strong reasoning and Good code output. It excels at Creative app ideas, Problem-solving. Many developers use Grok with LoomCode AI to build working apps from natural language descriptions across React, Next.js, Vue, Python, and other frameworks.
How fast is Grok for building apps?
Grok offers medium speed for code generation, which means response times are typically a few seconds, balancing speed with quality. With LoomCode AI, you describe your app in plain English and receive runnable code. For rapid prototyping and MVP development, its thorough approach pays off for complex projects.
What frameworks work with Grok?
Grok supports all 8 frameworks available in LoomCode AI: React, Next.js, Vue.js, Python, Streamlit, Gradio, PHP, and Laravel. Whether you need a React single-page app, a Next.js full-stack project, a Streamlit data dashboard, or a Laravel backend, Grok can generate working code. Each framework has optimized prompts and templates—simply choose your framework and describe what you want to build.
How much does Grok cost?
Pay-per-use via xAI API. LoomCode AI lets you try Grok without any upfront cost—you only pay for API usage based on your provider's pricing. For developers on a budget, some models offer free tiers or extremely low per-token rates. Check xAI's current pricing page for the latest rates.
Can Grok build complex applications?
Yes. Grok can build complex applications including multi-page dashboards, CRUD systems, data visualization tools, and full-stack apps. Its great quality output and 128K tokens context window allow it to handle sophisticated requirements. Keep in mind: smaller ecosystem and community compared to openai/anthropic less consistent on framework-specific patterns. For the most demanding projects, we recommend iterating in smaller steps or using more specific prompts.
