LIPRO
A private Grok studio: chat, Imagine, and voice. Threads stay in the browser.
Two different things
| Grok Build (grok.me) | Your own host (this repo) |
|---|
| Site stays online | While the app is published | While your Vercel (or other) project is live |
| SuperGrok weekly pool empty | Site still opens. New chat / Imagine / Listen pause | Site still opens |
| Who pays for Grok | Your Grok plan / injected key | Your xAI API key |
Self-hosting does not make Grok free. It moves the website off Grok’s servers. Chat still needs an XAI_API_KEY. That key is billed on the xAI API — it is not the same bucket as SuperGrok weekly Chat.
No key → the studio UI still works; new AI replies fail.
Put this on GitHub
- Create a new empty repository on GitHub (no README).
- Unzip this project and upload the folder, or from a terminal:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "LIPRO studio"
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USER/lipro.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
Host on Vercel
- Go to vercel.com → Add New → Project → import the GitHub repo.
- Framework: leave as Other. Build command is already
npm run build.
- Settings → Environment Variables → add
XAI_API_KEY with your key from console.x.ai.
- Deploy.
Your live URL is then yours (Vercel subdomain, or a domain you own).
Local run (optional)
cp .env.example .env
# paste XAI_API_KEY into .env
npm install
npm run dev
Needs Node 22.
