grok @bot 0.70.2 is rolling out! - each bot can claim its own email address at @mail.grokbot.com and draft emails for you to send - apps like Figma, Notion and Canva show up as live cards right in the chat - bots can search X and read public posts and profiles without connecting an X account - describe what you want and your bot suggests a matching template - shared pages can be downloaded as a pdf - an approval check before anything irreversible and much more!
Context
These features push personal AI agents toward acting more independently on users' behalf, with approval checks meant to keep risky actions under user control.
Eric Zakariasson works on the product, so this is a first hand announcement. The official changelog dates version 0.70.2 to October 11, so the rollout post came two days after the release notes. The changelog says the version also includes 0.69.0 through 0.70.1.
Deep dive
On October 13, Eric Zakariasson posted that Grok Bot 0.70.2 is rolling out.
He listed that each bot can claim its own email address at mail.grokbot.com and draft emails for the user to send; that apps like Figma, Notion and Canva show up as live cards in the chat; and that bots can search X and read public posts and profiles without connecting an X account. He added that users can describe what they want and get a matching template suggestion, that shared pages can be downloaded as a PDF, and that there is an approval check before anything irreversible.
The official changelog, dated October 11, says bots can claim an email address and receive mail there, and that email they send from it waits for the user's approval on a draft card. It also lists paying with X Money or Stripe Link, a QuickBooks Online connector, saving web pages as PDFs and sending audio files.
Under improvements, the changelog says that before an action it cannot undo, such as sending, posting, buying or deleting, a bot checks the user's own messages for approval. It also says that after a bank or brokerage connector returns data, the bot asks before sharing it anywhere else.
What to expect next
Watch how users adopt bot email addresses and whether the approval checks prevent mistakes as bots take on more tasks like sending mail and making payments.
Also watch how other personal agent products respond, since giving each agent its own inbox and identity is becoming a common design choice. Feedback on the approval checks will matter, since they are the main safeguard as bots gain email, payments and other abilities that act in the real world.
