Short answer
Grok Bot v0.79.2 is dated November 5, 2026. The changelog calls it "New app icon and gift requests." The same entry says "Also includes 0.79.0 and 0.79.1." The changelog has no separate 0.79.0 or 0.79.1 entry, so I can't say which line first shipped in which of those versions.
I quote the whole entry below, in the changelog's own groups: New, Improved, and Fixed. I haven't tried these changes myself. Where a line leaves something out, I've said so instead of guessing.
What changed
Source: Grok Bot changelog, v0.79.2 (November 5, 2026). Every line below is word for word from the v0.79.2 entry, and I added nothing of my own. The entry says "Also includes 0.79.0 and 0.79.1." A line marked Teams is tagged that way on the changelog. Button and status names stay unquoted, as they are on the changelog. On the changelog page, ssh, psql, and #!/usr/bin/node are shown as code.
New
"Asked to find a gift, the Bot asks for the recipient, budget, occasion, and deliver-by date, and never orders one that arrives late."
"On several major US airline sites, booking a flight follows the site's steps, and a booking that stops ends with a link to finish."
"Gmail and Outlook draft cards list attached files, and Send includes them."
"When a web page hides instructions for AI agents, the Bot tells you it found them and didn't follow them."
"A message you send in New chat while Create New Bot is still running goes to the new Bot and stays on screen."
"Settings offers Slovenščina, and the app opens in Slovenian when your system language is Slovenian."
"The Bot's computer can run ssh and psql."
"The Library has filters for Pinned, All, Pages, Media, Links, Files, and Apps."
"With one Bot, the sidebar hides behind a toggle. With two to four it shows as a narrow rail, and with five or more in full."
"Setting up an AWS plugin asks for an AWS access key ID, secret access key, optional session token, and region."
"The Bot can create and edit images of real people, using reference photos for well-known ones."
"Admins can set a Bot Computer Retention Period, after which inactive members' Bot computers are terminated." (Teams.)
Improved
"The desktop app has a new flat Grok Bot icon."
"After you tap Pay, a blocked checkout continues in the same run, and the reply can include the order number and total."
"While shopping, the Bot enters only discount codes you or a tool gave it, and tells you when a site rejects one."
"The Bot searches your connected Gopuff store, or searches products, without asking you to connect Gopuff first."
"Signing in at gopuff.com offers a Let Grok Bot use Gopuff card with Add."
"Commands that open or unlock your Tesla, or let someone drive it, always ask for your approval."
"Auto-review cards say what paused an action: your Ask first rule, your team's Ask first rule, or your Needs approval setting."
"Chat search shows Searched recent messages, with Search older to look further back."
"Connector search lists name matches first, so typing salesf shows Salesforce at the top."
"Connector icons share one size and a contrasting background, so they stay visible in both themes."
"To share text with a live phone call, a card asks Send this to your call?, and you can edit the text first."
"Asking a Bot to save a file to its Library puts it in Bot's files for everyone who can use the Bot."
"Apps that a connector returns inside its answer show as interactive cards in the chat."
"Microsoft connector sign-ins open with your account already filled in."
"A connector sign-in your organization's admin blocked says it is blocked by your organization, with details to send your admin."
"On a Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides page, the Bot offers that app's connector, adding it if needed, before handing you the browser."
"Asked about a Google app you haven't added, the Bot can offer to add its connector."
"When a connector on the Bot's computer fails to start, the Bot names the likely fix, such as a missing command, permission, or credential."
"In a meeting, the Bot answers a request from you or a manager without first holding its reply for review."
"Email the Bot reads or writes joins hard-wrapped lines back into paragraphs and lists."
"After you approve a Link payment, a Done in Link page sends you back to Grok Bot."
Fixed
"Before placing an order, the Bot rechecks the shipping and total you approved, and tells you if the charged total differs."
"With no saved card, the Bot opens a secure Card number form before the order card, and Pay uses that card."
"Card fields inside payment frames and on other checkout sites fill in, instead of the Bot handing you the screen."
"Shopping cards show the product's photos and the chosen color's photo, and later colors and sizes show their price."
"A View at store page for a store the Bot manages opens in the app instead of This page could not be opened."
"After you approve a Link payment, the Bot keeps checking for about ten minutes before saying the request is still pending."
"Files you upload from your phone are copied onto the Bot's computer, so it can open them."
"A one-off routine turns off after it runs instead of firing again next year."
"You're offline shows only when your computer is offline, and an unreachable Bot computer gets its own message."
"Long Library histories no longer hang the app, and Load older history loads the next batch."
"An open Page reloads to its latest version after a reconnect, and a Page that fails to load retries once."
"A finished coding run shows Merged when its pull request merges, instead of staying on Ready for review."
"On Windows, Grok Bot no longer freezes for seconds the first time it loads a JPEG."

"When 1Password doesn't finish connecting, the message asks you to try connecting again."

"The Bot's computer runs Node.js scripts, including ones that start with #!/usr/bin/node."
"When routine history cannot load, the Bot says it cannot check recent runs instead of saying the routine never ran."
"If a connector sign-in times out, coming back to the app picks it up again, and finishes it if you already signed in."
"When one of your Gmail accounts signs out, the Bot names that account, and its reconnect card signs that account back in."
"Gmail drafts end with your account signature once, and drafts the Bot saves to Gmail keep it."
"In Slack, the Bot can open more file types, including files shared earlier in the thread."
"A routine run that needs a connector sign-in fails with Connector needs a sign-in, and says to connect it from the card in your Bot's chat."
"When a provider rejects a connector's Client Secret, the message says to update the Client Secret in its settings, then reconnect."
"A connector on the Bot's computer that stops running starts again, so the Bot can keep using it."
"A custom connector your team policy blocks shows the admin's reason instead of Something went wrong." (Teams.)
The changelog doesn't say which of 0.79.0, 0.79.1, or 0.79.2 each line first shipped in. The gift line doesn't name a store. The flight line says "several major US airline sites" and doesn't name them, and it doesn't say what "the site's steps" are. I've left that out rather than guess.
