Grok Bot 0.78.1 adds shopping cards, order tracking, Shop Pay in the Vault, custom cloud agent modes, Team Bot logins and better sharing.
Version: Grok Bot 0.78.1 (includes 0.78.0) · Released: October 27, 2026 · Covers: changes shipped October 27 to November 1, from the team's What's New walkthrough of November 3. Payments in the Vault arrived one day earlier, in 0.77.0. Update the desktop app to get everything below; on an Apple silicon Mac, the Intel build now offers to download the right version for you.
Nine of the ten changes are in the official release notes. The tenth, Rapid fire, appears in the video but hasn't been written up yet. New to Grok Bot? Start with what a Grok Bot is.
Shopping and payments
1. Shopping cards. Ask a Bot to find something and it now answers with product cards instead of a list of links. Each card shows a photo, rating, price and store, with up to two badges such as Top rated or Lowest price. Three or four results scroll in a carousel, and you can swipe through each product's photos.
2. Product pages. Opening a card shows a full product page with colors and sizes. In-stock options come first and options no store has are greyed out. Buy now starts an order that you approve on a summary card showing the item, shipping, total, delivery address and payment method, so nothing is bought without your OK.
3. Order tracking. After you order, the Bot keeps watching it and tells you when it ships and when it arrives. Order and shipment cards show the store, order number, carrier and a progress bar, and digital orders leave out the shipping address.
4. Payments in the Vault. The Vault's Payments tab sets the card or account Bots use first, and you can now connect Shop Pay there. You still approve every purchase, and the Vault notes that Grok Bot never sees a saved card's number or security code. The same release adds subscription templates that cancel unused plans and watch renewal prices; for the same job, see AIUsageBot, which tracks spending across paid AI subscriptions.
Coding agents
5. Custom agent modes. Bots can start cloud coding agents in a mode you name, such as review mode, and keep talking to them in that mode. The demo starts an agent to review an open pull request, with buttons to open it in Cursor or view the PR. If you'd rather start from a ready-made setup, PR Reviewer checks pull requests for risk and missing proof, and Cursor Agent coordinates coding work through Cursor. More are in coding Bots.
Team Bots
6. Team Bot logins. Managers can give a Team Bot its own Vault of logins under Configure, then Tools, so the Bot signs in to a service for everyone on the team. Only managers can see or change those logins. On the team dashboard, Bot computers now groups team setup scripts, setup files and team secrets in one place.
7. Share and find Team Bots. The Share dialog lists who has access, including your team and organization, and a Team Bot can be limited to only you. In a Team Bot's Library, Pages it published appear under that Bot, and you can pin the ones you use most. This builds on Team Bots and the Shared Bots admin page.
8. Routine connector asks. When a Team Bot routine needs one of your connected accounts, it asks in the routine's Slack thread and tags you. You can allow once, always allow, allow it for that channel, or skip, and because others can see the channel, the Bot checks before using your account there. The demo shows this during a stuck deploy, the kind of moment Incident Update Writer is built for.
Vault and new Bots
9. Vault contacts. Saved contact details now hold several phone numbers and email addresses, with Add phone, Add email and Make primary, so a Bot fills forms with the right details. Assistant Bots such as Jess and Inbot benefit most.
10. Rapid fire. The walkthrough ends with a Rapid fire mode switch on a newly created Bot. It isn't in the written release notes yet, so we'll add details here once xAI documents it.
What to do now
Update Grok Bot, then set the payment method you want Bots to use first in the Vault. If you run Team Bots, move shared logins into the Team Bot's own Vault instead of a personal account. Before letting any Bot buy things or use your accounts, read Using a Grok Bot safely, and browse verified shared Bots for setups that already use these features.
