The v0.79.2 changelog says a gift request asks for the recipient, budget, occasion, and deliver-by date, and never orders one that arrives late.

The Grok Bot changelog has one line about gift requests. It's in v0.79.2, dated November 5, 2026: "Asked to find a gift, the Bot asks for the recipient, budget, occasion, and deliver-by date, and never orders one that arrives late." That entry says it also includes 0.79.0 and 0.79.1, so I can't say which of those versions the line first shipped in.
I haven't tried a gift request with my own Bot. Grok Releases (@grokreleases) posted about this on November 9, 2026. X labels that account as automated, and I'm not treating it as an official SpaceXSI account. I quote the post below, but its wording isn't the changelog's.
Source: Grok Bot changelog, v0.79.2 (November 5, 2026). The line is under New, and it is word for word: "Asked to find a gift, the Bot asks for the recipient, budget, occasion, and deliver-by date, and never orders one that arrives late."
The same entry says "Also includes 0.79.0 and 0.79.1." There is no separate 0.79.0 or 0.79.1 entry. Our page Grok Bot v0.79.2: New app icon and gift requests quotes the rest of that entry.
The line doesn't say whether the Bot places the order on its own or waits for your approval. It also doesn't name a store, say what happens when nothing can arrive in time, or say what the deliver-by date is measured against. I've left that out rather than guess.
Grok Releases (@grokreleases, post), November 9, 2026, 4:55 PM ET. X labels this an automated account. The post text is: "Grok Bot 0.79.2: New app icon and gift requests" and then "What changed:" and "Gift requests: Bot collects recipient, budget, occasion, and deadline, and excludes options that arrive late" and "Details in thread ↓". The post includes a photo. I don't describe the photo, and I didn't use the rest of the thread.
The post says 0.79.2, which is the version the changelog uses for this line. The words are not the same. The post says "deadline" and "excludes options that arrive late". The changelog says "deliver-by date" and "never orders one that arrives late." I quote both, and I don't merge them into one claim. The post also says "New app icon." The changelog's own icon line, in the same entry, is "The desktop app has a new flat Grok Bot icon." This page doesn't cover the icon.
