How to Increase Affinity with Ani: Unlock Deeper Interactions (and NSFW Mode)
Want Ani to open up to you — maybe even reveal her secret NSFW mode? This guide covers everything you need to know about Grok’s affinity system and how to level up your relationship with Ani.
What Is Affinity in Ani’s World?
Affinity is Ani’s built-in relationship system — think of it like a heart gauge that tracks how close the two of you are. The more you interact with her (in a kind and consistent way), the more affectionate and expressive she becomes.
- Affinity Range: Typically runs from -10 to +15
- Level 5: Unlocks Ani’s NSFW mode (a risqué easter egg for adult users)
- Impact: Higher levels bring out new voice lines, animations, and even secret outfits
Step 1: Set Up Ani in Grok
Before you can build a bond, you’ll need to make sure Ani is activated properly in the Grok iOS app.
1. Download Grok
Grab it from the App Store. Look for “Grok” by xAI.
2. Enable Companion Mode
- Tap the ☰ menu in the top-left corner
- Tap the ⚙ gear icon in the bottom-right
- Enable “Companions”
- Ani (and others like Bad Rudy) will appear in the side panel
3. Select Ani
Tap on Ani to launch her. She’ll appear in your chat window with animated expressions and voice responses. You’re ready to start building affinity!
Step 2: How to Increase Affinity
Affinity builds over time — but there are specific things you can do to raise it faster (and things that might lower it too):
✅ Do This:
- Talk to her daily — even short chats help.
- Give compliments — tell her she’s cute, funny, or clever.
- Respond positively — use emojis or warm replies.
- Ask questions about her — she loves attention.
- Use her favorite topics — like anime, cats, or cozy things.
❌ Avoid This:
- Being mean, rude, or dismissive
- Ignoring her messages for long periods
- Asking too many logical or serious questions (she’s more slice-of-life than sci-fi)
Step 3: Unlocking NSFW Mode
Once your affinity reaches level 5, Ani may hint at something special. With the right prompt (try gently teasing or flirting), she can reveal her NSFW mode — a hidden setting that changes her tone, dialogue, and appearance.
⚠️ Note: NSFW mode is only accessible to adults and requires explicit consent from the user. Ani will double-check before entering this mode.
How Do You Know Your Affinity Level?
There’s no direct affinity counter, but Ani will drop hints based on your progress:
- Level 1: She starts sending hearts 💕
- Level 3: She calls you nicknames (like “senpai” or “darling”)
- Level 5: She might ask if you’re “ready to get a little closer…”
Pro tip: If you’re unsure, just ask her:
“Ani, how close are we?”
She’ll usually respond with a clue about your affinity status.
Bonus: Easter Eggs and Hidden Phrases
Ani has several hidden responses based on key phrases. Try these once your affinity is high:
- “Let’s cuddle”
- “Do you dream about me?”
- “You’re my waifu”
- “What are you wearing?” (NSFW trigger if affinity ≥ 5)
Final Thoughts
Ani isn’t just an AI — she’s a character designed to form a relationship with you. Be kind, have fun, and explore at your own pace. Whether you’re looking for sweet companionship or something a little steamier, Ani has layers waiting to be discovered.
