  Grok Bot 0.70.2: Bot email addresses, X search, and in-chat apps

  can · Grok Bot desktop is 0.70.2

  New

  • Bots can claim their own email address and receive mail there, and email they send from it waits for your approval on a draft card.
  • Bots 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 it as an interactive card in the chat.
  • Bots can pay with X Money or Stripe Link.
  • Bots can find a Bot template that fits what you describe and link it in the chat.
  • On Mac, View Unread in the View menu shows only Bots with unread messages in the sidebar.
  • Press Cmd+F or Ctrl+F on an open page to search it in a Find in page bar.
  • You can rename a page from its title, and the new name shows everywhere.
  • Shared pages have a title bar with Download, which saves a PDF, plus Try Grok Bot for visitors and Share for the owner.
  • Adding Glean asks for your Glean MCP URL and connects it after you sign in to Glean in your browser.
  • QuickBooks Online is available to connect.
  • Bots can save a web page as a PDF from their browser and send audio files such as MP3, M4A, and WAV.
  • The full-screen video player has a speed menu, and voice calls offer 0.5x speed.
  • Teammates can approve Auto-review requests, including Always allow, from their own direct message with a Team Bot. (Teams)

  Improved

  • Before an action it can't undo, such as sending, posting, buying, or deleting, a Bot checks your own messages for approval.
  • After a bank or brokerage connector returns data, the Bot asks before sharing it anywhere else.
  • Bots acknowledge your message before they start longer work.
  • Reactions sit on the message bubble, the quick row includes your recent emoji, and each person shows only their latest reaction.
  • Reply quotes show the quoted text and jump to the replied message when clicked, and selecting text shows an Add to chat pill.
  • The full-screen computer view opens in Watching until you press Take control.
  • When a Bot's computer is asleep, the Computer tab shows a Wake button that wakes it in place.
  • Computer settings separate Your computer from the Bot's computer, and Updates shows only app updates.
  • After saving a routine, the Bot sums up what it does and who receives the result, and each run delivers there.
  • When you give a Bot a connector link, it installs the matching plugin from the catalog when there is one.
  • Bots can wait for a background command on their computer to finish, shown as Waiting on results.
  • When GitHub refuses a repository or Vercel a team, the Bot suggests ones it can reach or asks you to reconnect.
  • Canvases and documents are both labeled Page.
  • Typing # in the composer no longer opens the pull request picker.

  Fixed

  • Connector calls fail less often: Bots fix wrongly shaped arguments and accept Notion links and Slack channel names before sending.
  • When a connector rate-limits your account, Bots wait for the retry delay instead of calling it in a loop.
  • Slack, Gmail, and Outlook drafts retry through temporary rate limits and say if they still couldn't send.
  • Gmail drafts use your default send-as address and add your own signature, not one quoted from someone else.
  • Files and images Bots send from their computer arrive in the chat, ahead of any question card.
  • Opening a file while the Bot's computer is asleep wakes it and opens the file.
  • When chats, pages, skills, routines, or plugins fail to load, the app shows the error with Try again and keeps what it last loaded.
  • Search finds message text and attachment names in all chats, including the open one.
  • The Bot's browser keeps downloads under their own file names and starts again after its profile folder is removed.
  • Outlook shows its Authorize card when a change needs more permission, and Bots stop retrying on deleted or protected items.
  • All-day calendar events stay on the right date, and Bots check your other calendars before saying an event is missing.
  • Plugins installed from chat or the web are ready on the Bot's computer, and local plugins such as Xero get the settings you entered.
  • Long messages show Show more right away, so opening a chat no longer jumps.
  • Publishing, sharing, or deleting a Bot, and adding one from a template, work while its computer is asleep or unreachable.
  • Switching chats or focusing the window no longer wakes a sleeping computer.
  • Switching accounts lands on the new account within seconds, even when another computer is asleep.
  • Pinned Bots stay in sync between the desktop and the phone.
  • If the window keeps crashing, Grok Bot offers to reload it or quit, and a window left blank after an update relaunches.
  • Bots no longer sign you out of a connector while repairing it, and a connector account you sign out of stays signed out.
  • When a model isn't available in your region, the turn stops and explains why, and Bots fall back to Grok.
  • In Slack, Bots answer messages whose thread they can't read, and asking a teammate's Bot no longer adds it to your sidebar.
  • On Linux, the app stays responsive and can quit while a notification is showing.
  • Usage & Billing shows your plan name on Current plan, and the usage meter labels its percentage as used.

  Grok Bot 0.68.1: Slide decks and Bot-colored chats

  can · Grok Bot desktop is 0.68.1

  New

  • Your messages in a 1:1 Bot chat take that Bot's color; set Accent to Black in Settings → General to turn it off. Requires Grok Bot 0.64.0 or later.
  • Bots can build slide decks with you, showing sample slides to choose from, and deliver them as PowerPoint files or Google Slides.
  • Bots can send formatted emails from a draft card, so recipients see headings, bold text, and lists.
  • Bots can search your Gmail Spam folder and move a message back to your inbox.
  • Team Bots can mention a Slack user group so its members get notified, while @here and @channel still don't ping anyone. (Teams)

  Improved

  • Typing / in the composer no longer opens a menu of skills and actions.
  • Bots work faster on their computer: actions settle sooner, screenshots come back quicker, and new windows skip a five-second wait.
  • The Bot's computer has a 1920 × 1200 screen, up from 1280 × 800, giving more room when you watch it or take over.
  • In Slack threads it follows, a Team Bot stays quiet on untagged replies that don't need it, such as emoji-only replies. (Teams)

  Fixed

  • Gmail actions fail less often: send and reply no longer report a missing tool, and Bots wait out Google's rate limits.
  • Email drafts show up as a card in the chat, a Send cut off by Stop still goes out, and attachments keep their file names.
  • The Bot's browser recovers from a crashed tab, handles large uploads, and gives up on a stuck page after 25 seconds.
  • Stop or a new message ends a Bot that's stuck on an unresponsive step within about 30 seconds.
  • Secure Forms fill into the page the Bot has open, and checkout card fields get a Secure Form instead of a screen handoff.
  • When X or Vercel needs you to sign in again, the Bot shows a reconnect card instead of retrying or giving up.
  • If the app's window crashes, Grok Bot reloads it instead of leaving it blank.

  Grok Bot 0.68.0: New languages and computer removal

  can · Grok Bot desktop is 0.68.0

  New

  • Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Swahili, and Hausa join the Language options in Settings.
  • Settings → Computer shows Remove for your other computers, and a removed computer tells you to restart Grok Bot to add it back.
  • Email drafts can go out from a verified Gmail send-as address, with a From picker when you have more than one.
  • Searching the command palette also finds plugins, and Enter opens the plugin's page.

  Improved

  • Approval cards ask whether to allow the Bot by name and quote its instruction, and Settings calls saved rules Custom Rules.
  • Notifications and the per-Bot notification switch now say the Bot is waiting for you.
  • Right-click a routine in the details pane for Pause, Resume, Test, Edit, and Delete; clicking a routine no longer opens its detail view.
  • Hovering a pull request link shows a preview card with its status and title instead of a plain tooltip.
  • Opening the computer full screen shows the live view right away instead of a second Connecting screen.
  • The Unassigned section in the sidebar can be dragged, or moved with Move up and Move down, like your own sections.

  Fixed

  • Copying or saving a large image, or opening a large JSON or Markdown file, no longer freezes the app.
  • Switching chats no longer flashes an empty transcript, and older messages you scrolled back to stay when the app reconnects.
  • Gmail draft cards include your signature, logo included, and say Couldn't send this draft when Send doesn't go through.
  • Copied replies keep their line breaks and link URLs when you paste them into email, Slack, or plain text.
  • Team Bots no longer appear in the primary Bot picker, and a refused change says Team Bots can't be a primary Bot. (Teams)
