New

  • Bots can build Pages, such as reports, memos, and dashboards, that you edit together or have the Bot keep up to date.
  • Bots can create videos from a description or from an image you share.
  • You can pin Library pages, files, and links to a Pinned section that stays at the top and syncs across your devices.
  • The dashboard's Pages section lists the Pages you've shared, where you can unshare or delete them.
  • Hovering over or focusing a Library row shows a preview with who sent the item, when, and who can see a Page.
  • Bots can pay with Shop Pay, through Shop checkout where a store accepts it and with a one-time Shop card elsewhere.
  • You can connect X Money in one tap from a chat, the connector page, or checkout, after signing in to X if no X account is linked.
  • Page owners can share a Page with their whole organization or with another team in it. (Teams)
  • Team admins can limit who can share Pages with everyone on the team. (Teams)
  • Team admins can turn on link previews that show a Team Bot's name, description, color, and shape wherever its link is posted. (Teams)
  • A keyboard shortcuts sheet opens with ⌘/ and from Help, the profile menu, and the command palette.
  • Typing > at the start of a composer line starts a block quote, and Backspace at the start of a quoted line lifts it back out.
  • You can reorder attachments in the composer by dragging them or by pressing Alt with the arrow keys.
  • You can connect Zoho CRM and choose your account's regional data center before you sign in.
  • Team admins can upload a team icon, shown in workspace selectors and on Team Bots. (Teams)
  • Team Bot owners and managers can let collaborators create routines from Configure. (Teams)
  • Pages can capture the pointer and fill the screen.
  • The GitHub connector can list your repositories, compare commits, list a pull request's commits, and read branch and issue comments.
  • The built-in Gmail connection can attach files to drafts and sends, reply all, add a note when forwarding, and set label colors.
  • Bots can create, update, or delete several Google Calendar events in one step, and edited events no longer shift to a different time.
  • Routines can read the Bot's inboxes.
  • A task the Bot hands off can create images and videos for the chat.
  • A shared Team Bot's welcome in a team or group chat includes a Chat with me link, and an owner-only Bot greets only its owner. (Teams)
  • Enterprise team admins can permanently delete a member's Grok Bot data from Manage Member Computers and Data in Security & Compliance, or through the Admin API. (Enterprise)

Improved

  • Cards in chat have a new design, from approvals and questions to files, links, and tables.
  • The Bot details pane is one column, with a profile you click to edit above Media, Computer, and Routines tabs.
  • Voice calls can draw on your earlier calls and recent chat with the Bot.
  • The Bot opens links before sending them and leaves out broken ones.
  • Auto-review approval cards describe the action in one sentence, name the app with its logo, and flag irreversible or sensitive changes.
  • When you name a service, the Bot shows that connector's connect card in its first reply.
  • When a connector signs you out or rejects a sign-in, the Bot says why, such as a restricted Google account, and how to fix it.
  • When a routine hits a signed-out connector, the chat shows that connector's Reconnect card, at most once a day.
  • Before a browser or desktop task that takes a few minutes, the Bot tells you it will take a while.
  • If you already shared a password or code in the chat, the Bot uses it instead of refusing to continue.
  • Pull requests, issues, and repositories mentioned in replies are links.
  • When the Bot asks how to pay, you choose on a card.
  • What a personal Bot saves to memory in one chat is remembered in all your chats with it, and only you can change it.
  • Deleting a Bot permanently erases its conversations, memory, routines, and attachments, and removes its Slack app.
  • The first email a Bot sends to someone new includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
  • In Slack, asking the Bot to investigate, research, or check something gets a researched answer instead of a quick reply.
  • Deleting your account first lists what you'd lose, and linking an already unified Grok account offers to merge into it instead of failing.
  • Source links in replies show as compact citation chips, and company names as ticker pills.
  • Number columns in chat tables line up on the decimal point, with header sublines, summary rows, and footnotes.
  • Files you send show as cards with their type, name, and size, and captioned images offer Copy and Download on hover.
  • Your reactions show the moment you tap them, and the message no longer shifts under your pointer.
  • The Library opens faster for people with many Team Bots.
  • Team Bots shared with you open straight to their saved conversation. (Teams)
  • Browser sign-in waits up to 20 minutes and offers Copy link, and Reopen link resumes the same sign-in instead of starting over.
  • Connect Apps shows each plugin's own logo, and setting up a plugin with your own OAuth client lists the callback URLs to register.
  • A webhook routine's menu shows its URL and key, and the key stays hidden until you reveal it.

Fixed

  • Scrolling back quickly through a long chat no longer stalls before older messages load.
  • Search results from further back in a chat open on the right message, even right after launch.
  • Desktop notifications show Bot replies as plain text with full links, and skip replies you already read on another device.
  • Voice calls survive network drops and crashes, pick your microphone back up when it reconnects, and the Bot can answer while you're muted.
  • Pressing Enter once while recording a voice note sends it.
  • Keyboard shortcuts, including ⌘F and the command palette, work while a Page is open, and the palette no longer closes the Page.
  • Pressing Back while a Page is open closes the Page and stays on its Bot, instead of jumping to the Bot you viewed before.
  • A Page's Share menu shows its current visibility, even after it changed on another device or the dashboard.
  • When a message can't be saved, the app says whether your computer is out of disk space.
  • The desktop app connects directly unless you've turned on a system proxy, which fixes loading behind some corporate proxies.
  • When sign-in can't connect, the app asks you to check your connection instead of saying it stopped waiting for your browser.
  • A new or reinstalled desktop app skips onboarding for an account that already finished it.
  • Typing a follow-up leaves an open question card unanswered instead of answering it.
  • Bot names mentioned with @ in a reply open that Bot's chat.
  • Turning a Bot's tool on or off applies the state you saw, so an outdated list can't turn a blocked tool back on.
  • When creating a Bot or publishing a Bot template is refused, the app shows the reason.
  • Page cards and titles update as soon as the Bot renames a Page, and older Page cards open its latest version.
  • Connect Apps waits longer for your plugins instead of showing Couldn't refresh, and built-in plugins no longer offer an Uninstall that failed.
  • Buying credits, turning on auto top-up, and saving a spend limit show a confirmation or an error in the desktop app.
  • Reactions and card answers you add while a Bot is working stay after its turn ends.
  • An approval you don't answer in time leaves a chat line that names what expired.
  • Large Google Slides edits update the live deck.
  • Emails a Bot sends through Gmail show your name and the signature saved for that address, and reply drafts stay in their thread.
  • Bot pictures larger than about 3 MB now save.
  • A routine's result still reaches you if you send a message before the Bot finishes handing it off.
  • Pausing and resuming a routine keeps your last choice, even when you tap from two devices.
  • After an account merge, the remaining account keeps its Grok Bot email inbox and connector settings.
