Grok Bot updates from the official changelog
Updated on
This page tracks Grok Bot updates from the official x.ai changelog. It keeps a short table of notable October 2026 changes and leaves bug fixes and smaller improvements in the changelog itself.
Status: Not tested. We paraphrase official notes only and did not run a product test. Sources checked on 2026-10-30.
These rows paraphrase notable new items from the Grok Bot changelog. Dates and version numbers are the changelog's own. Bug fixes are left out. Where a sentence below says the changelog says something, that is a paraphrase of that release, not a result we produced.
| Date | Version | What the changelog says |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-27 | v0.78.1, Shopping cards and subscription templates | The changelog says shopping with a Bot shows product cards with a photo, a rating, a price and a store. It says Shop Pay connects in the Vault's Payments tab. It names three subscription templates: Try it, don't pay for it; Find unused subscriptions; and Watch subscription prices. It says Bots can cancel a subscription or look up its renewal, and they confirm with you before changing anything. |
| 2026-10-26 | v0.77.0, Permissions, Vault payments, and question cards | The changelog says 1Password connects without a shared vault: you approve each login in 1Password, and the Bot does not see it. Import Memory, in Settings, brings preferences and context from another assistant into the primary Bot. Bots can ask several questions on one card. The Vault has a Payments tab for the payment method Bots try first, and you still approve every purchase. Português (Portugal) joins the app languages. |
| 2026-10-24 | v0.75.8, Auto-review rule cards and smarter connectors | The changelog says a Bot can offer to add, change or remove one Auto-review rule on a card you confirm. It also says that when a Bot installs a plugin while working, it can use that plugin's skills right away. |
| 2026-10-23 | v0.75.5, Vault, email forwarding, and fewer approval cards | The changelog says Bots can save logins, cards and contact info to a Vault in Settings and fill them in to sign in or check out. They can forward an email from their own inbox with its original formatting, images and attachments. For Halloween, you can give a Bot a pumpkin shape when you create it or change its avatar. |
| 2026-10-22 | v0.75.2, Pages, new chat cards, and video creation | The changelog says Bots can build Pages, such as reports, memos and dashboards, and can create videos from a description or from an image you share. You can pin Library pages, files and links. Bots can pay with Shop Pay where a store accepts it. You can connect X Money from a chat, the connector page or checkout. A keyboard shortcuts sheet opens from the Command-/ shortcut, Help, the profile menu and the command palette. |
| 2026-10-14 | v0.71.2, Smarter notifications and larger file attachments | The changelog says Bots can send from a tagged form of their email address, such as name+shop@, and a routine on that tag runs only for its mail. It says you can attach files up to 250 MB and videos up to 1 GB. It says Bots can use up to 200 skills from installed plugins, up from 24. |
| 2026-10-11 | v0.70.2, Bot email addresses, X search, and in-chat apps | The changelog says Bots can claim their own email address, and mail they send waits for your approval on a draft card. They can search X and read posts and profiles without you connecting an X account. Connectors that come with an app, such as Figma, Notion and Canva, can show as an interactive card in the chat. Bots can pay with X Money or Stripe Link. |
| 2026-10-07 | Slide decks and Bot-colored chats (changelog date; no version heading on that entry) | The changelog says your messages in a 1:1 Bot chat take that Bot's color, and setting Accent to Black under Settings, General turns this off. Bots can build slide decks and deliver them as PowerPoint files or Google Slides. They can send formatted emails from a draft card, with headings, bold text and lists. Typing / in the composer no longer opens a menu of skills and actions. |
The version heading on the changelog for 27 October 2026 is v0.78.1, and that entry also includes 0.78.0. The same pattern applies to other rows: a version line can bundle more than one build. This table names the version the changelog puts on the heading.
