Short answer

Grok Bot v0.78.1 is dated October 27, 2026, and it also includes 0.78.0. The changelog calls it "Shopping cards and subscription templates." I cover four things from that entry here: shopping product cards and order tracking, Shop Pay in the Vault, the subscription templates, and a prompt on Apple silicon Macs. The changelog says Buy now "starts an order you approve" and that Bots "confirm with you before changing anything" when they cancel a subscription.

The changelog has no separate 0.78.0 entry. It lists 0.78.0 as included in v0.78.1, so I can't say which changes came in which version. I only repeat what the changelog says. Where a line leaves something out, I've said so below instead of guessing.

What changed

Source: Grok Bot changelog, v0.78.1 (October 27, 2026). Every line below is word for word from the v0.78.1 entry, and I added nothing of my own. I listed only the lines about shopping product cards and order tracking, Shop Pay in the Vault, the subscription templates, and the Apple silicon prompt, so this isn't the whole entry; the changelog link has all of it. New

• "Shopping with a Bot shows products as cards with photos, rating, price, and store, plus up to two badges such as Top rated."
• "Three or four product results scroll in a carousel, and you can swipe through each product's photos."
• "On a product page, in-stock options come first, options no store has are disabled, and Buy now starts an order you approve."
• "After you place an order, the Bot tracks it and tells you when it ships or arrives, and shipment cards show the carrier and stage."
• "Connect Shop Pay in the Vault's Payments tab, then pick it in Pay with or make it the payment method Bots use first."
• "The Try it, don't pay for it template starts a free trial for you and cancels it, or reminds you, before it bills."
• "The Find unused subscriptions template cancels plans you pick from the ones you still pay for, and Watch subscription prices checks renewal prices."
• "Bots can cancel a subscription or look up its price and renewal date, and confirm with you before changing anything."
• "On an Apple silicon Mac, the Intel version of Grok Bot offers to download the Apple silicon version."

These lines don't say where the templates are listed, how to start one, which stores or products the cards cover, or which Grok Bot version each change needs. I've left those out rather than guess.
