Ben Lang lists what the Grok Bot team shipped recently; most items match first party sources, but the iPhone action button, Robinhood and Coinbase could not be confirmed

Context
It is a quick summary of recent Grok Bot changes, but it comes from a person whose profile says he is building SpaceXAI via the Cursor team, so it is an insider summary and not independent reporting.
Ben Lang's profile says he is building SpaceXAI via the Cursor team, so the post is an insider summary of company product updates, not independent reporting. The post lists six items without links. The x.ai Grok Bot changelog, a Grok Bot post on X and a Runway page confirm several of them. Other items had no first party source in the pages reviewed.
Deep dive
Ben Lang posted at 9:16 AM Eastern on October 22 a six item list of what the Grok Bot team shipped in recent days. Each item was checked against first party pages where one exists.
Reports, memos and dashboards in the chat: the x.ai Grok Bot changelog, version 0.75.2 dated October 22, says Bots can build Pages, such as reports, memos and dashboards, that you edit together or have the Bot keep up to date. Confirmed by the changelog.
3x faster computer tasks: a post from the Grok Bot account at 3:55 PM Eastern on October 16 says computer tasks finish 3x sooner on average and replies to everything else arrive in less than half the time. That is a company figure with no method given.
Aliases for the Bot email: the changelog entry for October 14 says Bots can send from a tagged form of their address, like name+shop@, and that a routine on that tag runs only for its mail.
Runway: Runway's own page describes a Runway plugin for Grok Bot that uses Runway credits. Robinhood and Coinbase are not in the changelog or any first party page read; iPhone in Canada lists them among new connectors in an October 17 article, and a HuggingNews article is headlined about them, both secondhand.
Notifications on the device in use: the October 14 changelog says that while you use Grok Bot on a Mac or Windows PC, replies notify you there instead of your phone. iPhone in Canada describes alerts going only to the device in use, so the post's wording is broader than the changelog text.
The iPhone action button is not in the changelog, and no first party source was found.
What to expect next
The changelog's latest entry is version 0.75.2 from October 22, which also lists video creation, pinned Library items and Shop Pay that the post does not mention. The action button, Robinhood and Coinbase items would need a Grok Bot announcement or help page to be confirmed first hand. The speed post gives an average, so individual tasks may differ. The speed claim is the company's own.
