xAI recently launched a platform called Grokipedia, and it’s honestly one of the most interesting websites I’ve played around with in a long time.
The simple way to explain it is this: Grokipedia feels like Wikipedia, but it’s way easier to suggest articles, request edits, and create pages. If you’ve ever tried to get something approved on Wikipedia before, you already know how difficult that process can be. I personally tried to work toward getting a Wikipedia page in the past, and I eventually stopped because the barriers were just too high.
But with Grokipedia, the process feels completely different.
It’s faster, more accessible, and it’s built around AI being able to check whether your changes are backed by real sources online. That completely changes the game for people like me who are building a personal brand, running projects, and working with other creators and business owners.
I Already Had A Grokipedia Page (Without Requesting One)
One of the coolest parts was that when I searched my name on Grokipedia, there was already an article created for me.
I didn’t submit anything first. I didn’t request it. It was just… already there.
That alone was a really interesting moment because it showed me Grokipedia is actively pulling from what already exists online and forming pages around that data.
Of course, the page wasn’t perfect right away. Some of the details weren’t entirely correct, and that’s where the real fun started: making edits and watching how the platform responds.
I’ve Created 32 Articles So Far (And I’m Ranked Globally)
Once I realized how easy the platform was to use, I started creating more pages and suggesting more edits.
At the time of recording the video, I had already suggested and created 32 articles, and Grokipedia even shows contributor statistics. I could see things like:
- My activity history
- My accepted vs rejected edits
- My contributor ranking (I was around #331 in the world at one point)
Even though ranking isn’t the point, it’s still kind of cool to see how active you are compared to everyone else contributing.
The Editing Process Is Easier Because Grok Checks Your Sources
The part that makes Grokipedia different is how much it relies on AI.
Grokipedia uses Grok (xAI’s AI model) to scrape the internet and figure out whether an edit suggestion is supported by evidence. That means you’re not just “claiming” something is true—you’re basically asking the AI to confirm that the internet backs it up.
That sounds great in theory, but it also comes with a challenge:
If your information isn’t clearly documented online, the AI might reject your edit, even if you personally know it’s true.
And I ran directly into that.
When The Internet Doesn’t Support The Truth (Yet)
On my Grokipedia page, there was a line saying one of my dunk contest wins happened at the inaugural Twenty3 League Dunk Contest in December 2025.
But I remembered that event happening earlier, so I tried to edit it.
First, I said it was in September. Then I realized it wasn’t September either—it was actually August.
But here’s what happened:
Grokipedia checked online sources, found my YouTube videos posted in December, and basically decided December was the safest “verified” month, since the upload date was visible.
So even though I knew the actual date, there wasn’t enough clean online evidence supporting it.
That’s when I realized something important:
If you want an AI-powered encyclopedia to reflect the truth, you need accurate sources online that clearly document it.
The Fix: I Updated My Own Website To Support The Correct Info
Once I realized what was happening, I went to one of my own web pages where I’ve been listing out Minnesota Dunk Squad-related information.
The page wasn’t even close to perfect. It was incomplete and honestly pretty broken in a few spots.
But it still gave me a place where I could do something powerful:
I added the exact event dates and details on my own website.
That way, when Grokipedia scans the internet, it has a source to pull from that actually matches what happened.
This was a big realization for me because it connects directly to personal branding and digital proof:
If you don’t publish the real information somewhere credible, the internet will fill in the gaps for you—and it might get it wrong.
Small Details Matter (And Grokipedia Helps You Catch Them)
Another thing I noticed while editing my page is how quickly you run into little errors that can easily spread.
For example, one part referenced “the 23 league” but spelled it differently than it’s actually written.
So I corrected it.
Then I saw another detail where it said I won a contest in June 2024… but I didn’t. I actually took second place to another Minnesota Dunk Squad member, Gideon Scheeler.
Fixing details like that might seem small, but it matters if you want your story (and your accomplishments) represented accurately.
Creating Pages For Related People And Projects Builds An Ecosystem
While I was editing my own page, I kept realizing how many connected entities should have their own pages too.
Because my story includes:
- Dunk Talk Podcast
- Minnesota Dunk Squad
- Dunk contests I’ve competed in
- People I train with
- People I collaborate with
- Athletes and creators I interview
So I started creating articles for other connected entities as well.
The first one I created was for my girlfriend Brooke (she dunks with me and is training to dunk on a 10-foot rim). Then I built pages for:
- Dunk Talk Podcast
- Minnesota Dunk Squad
And as I built those, Grokipedia began linking them together.
That’s when it clicked:
Grokipedia isn’t just about writing one article.
It’s about creating a network of connected pages that reinforce each other.
And that is exactly how authority gets built online.
Why Grok Is So Good With YouTube And Social Platforms
One thing that really stood out is how well Grok handles social media and YouTube content.
A lot of AI tools struggle to pull direct information from platforms like YouTube, but Grok seems to be able to:
- Take a YouTube link
- Pull transcript info directly from the video
- Use it to support claims in an article
And because I’ve recorded so many Dunk Talk podcast episodes, it’s been incredibly useful.
I’ve already created or requested pages for people like:
- Finn Addy
- Travis Reynolds
- Ben Hopkins
- Donovan Hawkins
And Grokipedia is pulling information straight from my podcast transcripts.
That’s another reason I’m glad I started the podcast in the first place. Even before I understood how powerful content and digital assets were, the conversations were creating long-term proof that can now support other people’s credibility too.
I Started Creating Pages For Friends, Partners, And Clients
Once I got rolling, I started building pages for a mix of different people and projects.
Some were dunking-related.
Some were business-related.
For example, I created a page for Dr. Hugh Flax, who owns Flax Dental in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a strong presence online, and because there’s so much real information already published, Grokipedia was able to build his article easily.
This is a huge opportunity for local business owners who already have:
- Websites
- Reviews
- Podcast appearances
- Articles
- Profiles across the internet
Because Grokipedia can connect it all into one clean page.
What Got Rejected (And What I Learned)
Not everything got approved.
A few pages were rejected, and the reasons were actually useful to see.
1. A Business Page Got Flagged As A Duplicate
I tried creating a page for Flax Dental, but it was denied because Grokipedia thought it was a duplicate of Dr. Hugh Flax.
That’s obviously not correct—there’s a difference between a person and their company.
So I’m going to go back and try to resubmit that in a clearer way.
2. Some Topics Were Too General (But Still Worked)
I tested some broader dunking concepts like:
- Eastbay dunk
- Dubble up dunk
And I wasn’t sure if Grokipedia would accept them. But it did.
Now there’s an actual page documenting what a Dubble Up dunk is, where it came from, and the history behind it.
That was really cool to see, especially because dunking is full of terms and moves that a lot of people talk about, but almost nobody documents correctly.
3. Notability Guidelines Still Exist
I tried making a page for my friend Braden, who’s a high school football player.
Grokipedia rejected it due to content guidelines, basically saying he doesn’t meet the notability threshold for an encyclopedia entry.
And honestly, that makes sense.
The platform still has standards, and you can’t just create a page for anyone without enough public proof and coverage.
How To Avoid Getting Denied: Frame It The Right Way
Even though not everyone gets approved automatically, I realized something important:
How you describe the person matters.
If you write someone like they’re just a random student, it’s harder to justify notability.
But if you frame them as a real entity with a clear focus, training, mission, and public documentation, that gives the AI more to work with.
For example, instead of describing Brooke as “a high school athlete,” the framing becomes:
A female dunker in training with the goal of dunking on a 10-foot rim.
That’s specific. That’s clear. And it ties to a recognizable niche and story.
The Bigger Takeaway: This Is A Fun Tool, But It’s Also A Real Strategy
I originally started using Grokipedia because it looked fun.
But after creating 30+ pages, making edits, and watching what gets accepted or rejected, I realized it’s bigger than that.
Grokipedia is another example of how the internet is shifting toward:
- Entity-based search
- Structured authority
- Verifiable proof
- Cross-platform credibility
And now, with AI able to scan and summarize online sources instantly, it’s more important than ever to have your accomplishments and projects documented somewhere.
Even if that “somewhere” starts with your own website.
Final Thoughts
Grokipedia is still new, and I’m still experimenting with it, but I genuinely recommend checking it out.
Search your name. See if you already have a page.
If you don’t, try requesting one.
Then go build pages for:
- Your projects
- Your clients
- Your partners
- Your friends
- The communities you’re involved in
Because once you start connecting those pieces, you’re not just creating articles…
You’re building an ecosystem.
And it’s honestly a ton of fun.
