Grok Bot 0.78.1 adds agentic shopping

Grok Bot v0.78.1 adds rich shopping cards, approval-based checkout, order tracking, Shop Pay support, and subscription-management templates. The update pushes its browser-using agents closer to completing real-world tasks end to end.

// ANALYSIS

Grok Bot is moving beyond answering questions into supervised execution, though human approval remains essential for financial actions.

–Product cards combine photos, ratings, prices, stores, and carousels for faster comparison
–Buy-now flows let agents prepare orders while keeping final authorization with the user
–Shipment tracking and subscription cancellation extend the agent’s usefulness after checkout
–Vault-based payments reduce credential exposure, but browser automation still depends on retailer compatibility
–This positions Grok Bot against emerging shopping agents from ChatGPT, Amazon, and Shopify
