mark_k · x · 2026-11-11
Grok Bot released v0.79.3 with a batch of meaningful upgrades to its autonomous agent capabilities:
- Flight booking: can book flights following the actual websites of Delta, American, Alaska, JetBlue, and Frontier
- Security: detects hidden instructions targeting AI agents on web pages (prompt injection) and refuses to follow them
- Computer use: supports SSH and PostgreSQL commands
- Email: Gmail and Outlook drafts now support attachments
- Tesla integration: sensitive vehicle commands always require explicit approval
- Reliability: improved web fetching, phone calls, 1Password integration, and many bug fixes
The author argues Grok Bot is evolving into a genuinely useful autonomous agent that handles real-world tasks, not just answers questions.
