New
Your messages in a 1:1 Bot chat take that Bot's color; set Accent to Black in Settings → General to turn it off. Requires Grok Bot 0.64.0 or later.
Bots can build slide decks with you, showing sample slides to choose from, and deliver them as PowerPoint files or Google Slides.
Bots can send formatted emails from a draft card, so recipients see headings, bold text, and lists.
Bots can search your Gmail Spam folder and move a message back to your inbox.
Team Bots can mention a Slack user group so its members get notified, while @here and @channel still don't ping anyone. (Teams)
Improved
Typing / in the composer no longer opens a menu of skills and actions.
Bots work faster on their computer: actions settle sooner, screenshots come back quicker, and new windows skip a five-second wait.
The Bot's computer has a 1920 × 1200 screen, up from 1280 × 800, giving more room when you watch it or take over.
In Slack threads it follows, a Team Bot stays quiet on untagged replies that don't need it, such as emoji-only replies. (Teams)
Fixed
Gmail actions fail less often: send and reply no longer report a missing tool, and Bots wait out Google's rate limits.
Email drafts show up as a card in the chat, a Send cut off by Stop still goes out, and attachments keep their file names.
The Bot's browser recovers from a crashed tab, handles large uploads, and gives up on a stuck page after 25 seconds.
Stop or a new message ends a Bot that's stuck on an unresponsive step within about 30 seconds.
Secure Forms fill into the page the Bot has open, and checkout card fields get a Secure Form instead of a screen handoff.
When X or Vercel needs you to sign in again, the Bot shows a reconnect card instead of retrying or giving up.
If the app's window crashes, Grok Bot reloads it instead of leaving it blank.
