Grok Bot just got an update with v0.75.5! 🚀
Vault, email forwarding, and fewer approval cards
Also includes v0.75.3 and v0.75.4
Changelog v0.75.5
New:
• Bots can save your logins, cards, and contact info to a Vault in Settings and fill them in to sign in or check out. Requires Grok Bot 0.75.2 or later.
• Bots can forward an email from their own inbox with its original formatting, images, and attachments. Requires Grok Bot 0.75.2 or later.
• Bots record who asked for each message they post in Slack, so anyone in the thread can ask who requested it.
• For Halloween, you can give a Bot a pumpkin shape when you create it or change its avatar. Requires Grok Bot 0.75.2 or later.
Improved:
• Auto-review asks less often for an action you asked for in your own words.
• After you deny an approval card, the Bot stops and doesn't try that action again until you send another message.
• Emails and Slack messages you ask a Bot to send go out once Auto-review allows them, while sends on routine and other turns still wait as drafts.
• When the Bot hands you its computer to sign in to a site that has a connector, it also offers that connector's connect card.
• Asking a Bot about your X account connects X through your linked X account, even if you removed the X plugin.
• Connecting X also connects X Money through the same account, and asking about your X Money balance, activity, or card installs X Money.
• Your routines can run up to 300 times an hour in total instead of 100, and each routine up to 200 times.
• With Route traffic through this computer on, Settings shows how many sites were blocked because they resolve to a private or VPN address.
• Teammates in their own DM with a Team Bot can react to messages, quote with Add to chat, and answer cards. (Teams)
• Team Bots name connectors as your plugin list does, such as Google Slides, when they ask to use one or say whose they used. (Teams)
• If your Grok Business seat doesn't cover Grok Bot yet, the usage limit message says to ask your Grok Business admin to connect your team.
Fixed:
• Auto-review falls back to an approval card less often, retrying a check that fails and reviewing long chats instead of stopping.
• Auto-review no longer waves through an action your request said to stop before, such as sending a message you asked only to draft.
• Asking a Bot about your X followers gets a plain answer that X doesn't offer it, instead of a browser sign-in to X.
• After an account merge, you keep managing the Bots you created and can share them with your team.
• Plugins with several servers, such as Salesforce, show each server as its own row, so you can see and sign in to every one.
• In Slack, Bots answer thread replies that were also sent to the channel, as they do other thread replies.
• On a Team Bot's Share this Bot card, someone who manages the Bot through a group sees their role as Manager. (Teams)
• Work a Team Bot hands off in a shared chat can use the connectors you allowed, and its reply says whose connector it used. (Teams)
• When a Team Bot's routine replies in a Slack thread, the Bot follows the thread and answers later replies without an @mention. (Teams)
• After you reset a chat whose first message was blocked, new messages get replies instead of an error.

• 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)

• You can reorder attachments in the composer by dragging them or by pressing Alt with the arrow keys.

• Team admins can upload a team icon, shown in workspace selectors and on Team Bots. (Teams)

• 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.

• 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.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.70! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.70
Features:
• Answered questions now have a blank line between them, except in compact mode (`/compact-mode`).
• `GROK_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTS` turns off every `[[experiments]]` entry in your configuration; `[experiments] enabled = false` in any configuration file does the same.
Bug Fixes:
• `/plugins` now counts only the plugin skills that load, and says how many were skipped because they link outside the plugin folder.

Changelog v1.0.69
Features:

Features:

Smarter notifications and larger file attachments
Also includes v0.71.0 and v0.71.1

• While a paid account merge is still moving this account's data, Settings shows Your accounts are being merged, with Contact Support if it runs long.

• Enterprise team admins can recreate, terminate, or delete members' Grok Bot computers from Manage Bot Computers on the dashboard or through the Admin API. (Enterprise)
• When a Bot's computer runs low on disk, the Bot tells you once, names the biggest files, and deletes them only if you agree.
Improved:
• While you use Grok Bot on a Mac or Windows PC, Bot replies and questions notify you there instead of your phone. Requires Grok Bot 0.70.2 or later.

• Email drafts from a Bot's own address show attachments as file cards, marked when they can't be sent, changed since attached, are too large, or weren't scanned.
• Merging accounts finishes when both accounts have files on the Bot's computer, keeping both sets and adding (from transferred account) to clashing file names.
• In Team Bot Slack setup, Connect goes straight to Slack, Awaiting admin approval offers Resubmit, and a denied request shows when it was denied. (Teams)

• When GitHub isn't connected, the Bot offers a single Connect GitHub action instead of listing every GitHub tool.
• A voice call from your phone wakes the Bot's sleeping computer, so the Bot can work with what you said after the call.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.68! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.68
Features:
• Worktree create and fork now list files that could not be copied and any mode changes that were lost.
• Vim navigation is now one setting, `[keys] vim` (`off` or `nav`), also set with `/vim-mode`; the older `[ui] vim_mode` still works.
• Terminal theme now draws a subtle band behind your prompts using the colors your terminal reports.
• Mode-switch toast now shows the mode name (Agent, Plan, Ask) in the mode's own color.
• Change-directory picker (`Ctrl+L` on the dashboard) opens with the path field unfocused, like the `/resume` search.
• Image placeholders in the transcript now show whether the actual image was sent or only the text was typed.
Bug Fixes:
• Worktree create now fails cleanly instead of falling back when it cannot copy tracked files or runs out of disk space.
• Running Grok sessions are no longer broken when an update deletes their binary.
• Dashboard model picks now keep their selected context window when spawning the next session.
• Send Now prompts and rewound turns now correctly restore and mark any images that were originally sent.
• Resumed sessions now show the correct sent or struck-through state for image placeholders.
Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.67! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.67
Features:
• Worktrees also use their main checkout's saved "always allow" answers, so you are not asked again for a tool you already allowed there. Set `[features] worktree_inherits_main_approvals = false` to turn this off; the main checkout's "never allow" answers apply either way.
• Prompt suggestions follow vim mode: with `[ui].vim_mode` on, `Tab` moves focus to the scrollback instead of accepting the suggestion. `→` or `Ctrl+→` accepts a suggestion, and `Esc` dismisses it.
Bug Fixes:
• Headless `grok -p` runs exit when their work is done instead of hanging when a background task or subagent finishes and its output is read in the same turn.
• The theme picker in Settings restores your previous theme when you leave it any way other than `Enter`, as `/theme` already does.
• Quitting a session with hooks configured is faster: the session-end `Stop` hook runs at the same time as the `SessionEnd` hooks and gets at most 1.5 seconds.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.66! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.66
Performance:
• `@` file completion shows results about 5 ms after you type instead of about 40 ms.
Bug Fixes:
• `/theme` restores your previous theme when you leave the picker any way other than `Enter`, such as `Esc`, `Ctrl+U`, `Tab` then `Esc`, or opening Settings or the dashboard.
• Selected and highlighted rows stay readable on every theme because reverse-video text is never dimmed. This fixes faint descriptions in selected menu rows on the `terminal` theme in terminals such as Kitty.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.65! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.65
Features:
• `/resume` search finds sessions from other folders, tolerates typos, and also matches the commands, file paths, and replies in a session.
• `--permission-mode plan` starts the session in plan mode, as documented, instead of the default mode.
• The dashboard's `Ctrl+L` folder picker lists up to 50 recent folders instead of 10.
• `grok --help` gives each command and option a one-line summary, and `grok help -h` and `grok help --help` print the help command's own help instead of an error.
Bug Fixes:
• `/resume` search keeps a single typed character literal and matches each typed word at the start of a word, so `log fix` no longer matches "Blog prefix cleanup".
• `DISABLE_TELEMETRY` and `DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING` turn telemetry and crash reports off for any non-empty value, including `0` and `false`. A `GROK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED` or `GROK_ERROR_REPORTING` value Grok can't read also counts as off.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.64! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.64
Breaking Changes:
• Untrusted folders run only your organization's managed hooks. User, project, plugin, and agent hooks wait until you trust the folder. Headless sessions treat user hooks as trusted.
Features:
• Worktree names typed with `Ctrl+W` keep Unicode letters such as `café`, and a name or ref that starts with `-` is refused.
• Auto mode runs a shell command without review only when every command in it matches an allowlist entry; anything else asks first. Permission rules read each word the way bash passes it to the program.
• `/resume` loads older sessions when you reach the last row, and shows how many sessions are loaded.
• Auto mode runs `make --version`, `cmake --version`, and `just --version` without asking.
• HTTP connections, including remote MCP servers, accept gzip, brotli, zstd, and deflate compressed responses.
• Plugin install suggestions above the prompt are off when `disable_plugins = true` is set.
Bug Fixes:
• New worktrees keep tracked files that match `.gitignore`, and leave out files excluded only by `.git/info/exclude` or `core.excludesFile`.
• A new session that fails to start puts what you typed back in the prompt you return to, instead of losing it.
• Web search works from a session's first turn, and in subagents, when the search model signs in through an external auth provider.
• `grok -w`, `grok worktree create`, worktree forks, and subagent worktrees refuse up front with the sandbox's message when the sandbox profile does not allow creating worktrees.
• Worktree options are hidden in `/fork`, `/new`, and the Welcome screen when the sandbox profile does not allow creating worktrees.
• A worktree name you type that is already taken is refused instead of getting a numbered suffix, and a name whose folder you deleted by hand can be used again.
• External OpenTelemetry export keeps sending logs and metrics when `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_COMPRESSION` is set to `gzip` or `zstd`.
• `[model.*]` tables without a context window take the window and API of another table that sends the same model, instead of the 200,000-token fallback.
• Grok on macOS without a GUI session, such as over SSH, no longer hangs on its first modifier-key check.
• Custom models on the Responses API keep the turn going when a web search call starts without an action.
• Shell commands run correctly on zsh when your startup files alias `grep` or replace `run-help`.
• Voice dictation preview grows the prompt as you speak and keeps the newest words in view.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.63! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.63
Breaking Changes:
• Memory always uses the concise `MEMORY.md` index of topic titles and paths, and `/memory` lists topics by how often Grok reads them. The `[memory_v2] compact_index_enabled` setting no longer has an effect.
Features:
• Rex terminal support reports each open session and each running subagent as its own record, so Rex shows what each one is doing. Set `children = false` under `[ui.notifications.program_status]` to report only the main status.
• `grok worktree list` and `grok worktree show` mark a worktree whose folder is missing or whose source repository moved, with a hint on how to repair it.
• Command hooks accept an `args` list: Grok runs `command` as one program with those arguments and no shell, and fills hook variables such as `$GROK_SESSION_ID` in each argument.
Bug Fixes:
• Plan reviews that open while you are typing keep your text in the review's notes, so a typed letter no longer triggers a plan shortcut such as approve.
• Plan reviews at the end of a turn wait until you close an open `/feedback` dialog, question, tool prompt, or queued prompt edit.
• `grok -w` and `Ctrl+W` explain that no worktree was made when you run them outside a git repository.
• `/fork` keeps the parent session's model and effort when Grok was started with `-m` or `--effort`.
• Custom models on Chat Completions endpoints outside xAI no longer fail turns with a tool schema error when MCP servers are connected.
• Workflow run views hide each agent's live status text on narrower terminals, so agent names are no longer cut off.
Grok Bot just got an update with v0.71.2! 🚀
Smarter notifications and larger file attachments
Also includes v0.71.0 and v0.71.1
Changelog v0.71.2
New:
• Bots can send from a tagged form of their email address, like name+shop@, and a routine on that tag runs only for its mail.
• Forms a Bot asks you to fill in can arrive with known fields filled in, and you can edit them before you submit.
• While a paid account merge is still moving this account's data, Settings shows Your accounts are being merged, with Contact Support if it runs long.
• Team admins can turn off Messaging between Bots under Bot capabilities on the dashboard, so members' Bots can't message or hand work to other Bots. (Teams)
• Enterprise team admins can recreate, terminate, or delete members' Grok Bot computers from Manage Bot Computers on the dashboard or through the Admin API. (Enterprise)
• When a Bot's computer runs low on disk, the Bot tells you once, names the biggest files, and deletes them only if you agree.
Improved:
• While you use Grok Bot on a Mac or Windows PC, Bot replies and questions notify you there instead of your phone. Requires Grok Bot 0.70.2 or later.
• You can attach files up to 250 MB and videos up to 1 GB, and the Bot says when a video is too large to watch. Requires Grok Bot 0.70.2 or later.
• One message can carry up to 20 attachments instead of 6, and a notice says how many weren't added past the 200 MB total.

• Email drafts from a Bot's own address show attachments as file cards, marked when they can't be sent, changed since attached, are too large, or weren't scanned.
• Merging accounts finishes when both accounts have files on the Bot's computer, keeping both sets and adding (from transferred account) to clashing file names.
• In Team Bot Slack setup, Connect goes straight to Slack, Awaiting admin approval offers Resubmit, and a denied request shows when it was denied. (Teams)
• When a Team Bot asks to use your connected account, the card explains the access covers only your own messages and others can't use it. (Teams)
• Captions in the full-screen image viewer show formatting and clickable links, and images keep their size as you page between them.

• When GitHub isn't connected, the Bot offers a single Connect GitHub action instead of listing every GitHub tool.
• A voice call from your phone wakes the Bot's sleeping computer, so the Bot can work with what you said after the call.

• When GitHub refuses a repository or Vercel a team, the Bot suggests ones it can reach or asks you to reconnect.
• Canvases and documents are both labeled Page.
• Typing # in the composer no longer opens the pull request picker.
Fixed:
• Connector calls fail less often: Bots fix wrongly shaped arguments and accept Notion links and Slack channel names before sending.
• When a connector rate-limits your account, Bots wait for the retry delay instead of calling it in a loop.
• Slack, Gmail, and Outlook drafts retry through temporary rate limits and say if they still couldn't send.
• Gmail drafts use your default send-as address and add your own signature, not one quoted from someone else.
• Files and images Bots send from their computer arrive in the chat, ahead of any question card.
• Opening a file while the Bot's computer is asleep wakes it and opens the file.
• When chats, pages, skills, routines, or plugins fail to load, the app shows the error with Try again and keeps what it last loaded.
• Search finds message text and attachment names in all chats, including the open one.
• The Bot's browser keeps downloads under their own file names and starts again after its profile folder is removed.
• Outlook shows its Authorize card when a change needs more permission, and Bots stop retrying on deleted or protected items.
• All-day calendar events stay on the right date, and Bots check your other calendars before saying an event is missing.
• Plugins installed from chat or the web are ready on the Bot's computer, and local plugins such as Xero get the settings you entered.
• Long messages show Show more right away, so opening a chat no longer jumps.
• Publishing, sharing, or deleting a Bot, and adding one from a template, work while its computer is asleep or unreachable.
• Switching chats or focusing the window no longer wakes a sleeping computer.
• Switching accounts lands on the new account within seconds, even when another computer is asleep.
• Pinned Bots stay in sync between the desktop and the phone.
• If the window keeps crashing, Grok Bot offers to reload it or quit, and a window left blank after an update relaunches.
• Bots no longer sign you out of a connector while repairing it, and a connector account you sign out of stays signed out.
• When a model isn't available in your region, the turn stops and explains why, and Bots fall back to Grok.
• In Slack, Bots answer messages whose thread they can't read, and asking a teammate's Bot no longer adds it to your sidebar.
• On Linux, the app stays responsive and can quit while a notification is showing.
• Usage & Billing shows your plan name on Current plan, and the usage meter labels its percentage as used.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.63! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.63
Breaking Changes:
• Memory always uses the concise `MEMORY.md` index of topic titles and paths, and `/memory` lists topics by how often Grok reads them. The `[memory_v2] compact_index_enabled` setting no longer has an effect.
Features:
• Rex terminal support reports each open session and each running subagent as its own record, so Rex shows what each one is doing. Set `children = false` under `[ui.notifications.program_status]` to report only the main status.
• `grok worktree list` and `grok worktree show` mark a worktree whose folder is missing or whose source repository moved, with a hint on how to repair it.
• Command hooks accept an `args` list: Grok runs `command` as one program with those arguments and no shell, and fills hook variables such as `$GROK_SESSION_ID` in each argument.
Bug Fixes:
• Plan reviews that open while you are typing keep your text in the review's notes, so a typed letter no longer triggers a plan shortcut such as approve.
• Plan reviews at the end of a turn wait until you close an open `/feedback` dialog, question, tool prompt, or queued prompt edit.
• `grok -w` and `Ctrl+W` explain that no worktree was made when you run them outside a git repository.
• `/fork` keeps the parent session's model and effort when Grok was started with `-m` or `--effort`.
• Custom models on Chat Completions endpoints outside xAI no longer fail turns with a tool schema error when MCP servers are connected.
• Workflow run views hide each agent's live status text on narrower terminals, so agent names are no longer cut off.
Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.62! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.62
Bug Fixes:
• Headless mode (`grok -p`) waits for the follow-up turn that a finished background task starts before exiting, and a `--background-wait-timeout` that stops pending work exits with an error instead of success.
• Cold `/resume` from the dashboard overlay keeps the overlay attached, so you can still back out with Left or `Ctrl+\`.
• Enter on a highlighted slash command with optional arguments runs the command instead of leaving a trailing space in the composer.
• CLI commands such as `grok models`, `grok sessions` and `grok export` no longer crash when their output pipe closes early, such as when piped to `head`, or when the output device is full.
• `grok update` and `grok login` no longer crash when stdout or stderr is closed or unwritable.

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v1.0.61! 🚀
Changelog v1.0.61
Features:
• Resume picker finds sessions whose titles contain every word you type, in any order.
• `/resume ` opens the session directly when the ID or title matches exactly one session, instead of always opening the picker.
Bug Fixes:
• Dashboard peek text can be selected by dragging over it with the mouse, and the selection is copied to the clipboard when you release.
• Workflow run views scroll toward newer agents when you wheel down the agent roster, instead of snapping back.
• Hook spawn failures on Windows name the program that failed to start, such as PowerShell or Git Bash, instead of blaming the hook's script.
