mark_k · x · 2026-10-29
markk details Grok Bot v0.78.1, calling it a major step toward genuinely autonomous agents:
- AI shopping: products shown as rich cards with photos, ratings, prices and store comparisons; bots can initiate purchases with user approval
- Order tracking: bots monitor shipments and deliveries with notifications
- Subscription management: bots find unused subscriptions, cancel selected ones and watch renewal prices
- Free trial automation: a template starts trials and cancels or reminds before you're charged
- Shop Pay integration for streamlined AI-assisted checkout
- Custom cloud agents: bots can launch cloud agents in named custom modes and keep interacting
The author argues agents are moving beyond Q&A to actually managing everyday tasks.
