# Changelog Scout sends you a weekly Grok Bot roundup Source: https://aaronmakelky.com/grok-bot/changelog-scout Last updated: 2026-10-10 A free bot template I made. Once a week, at a day and time you pick, it sends a plain-language roundup of every Grok Bot release since the last one, plus two or three recommendations tied to specific changes. Grok Bot template Grok Bot ships changes fast. Changelog Scout reads the official changelog for you and sends one plain-language roundup a week, with recommendations based on how you use your bots. [Add Changelog Scout to Grok Bot](https://x.ai/bot/_VfbyLY4aGU8KJD46l5Mk) [All my Grok Bot notes](/grok-bot) Free. It's a bot I made and shared, not an xAI product. Like any bot template, it can act on your behalf once you add it. ## What lands in your chat One message a week. Here's what last week's would have looked like. Changelog Scout Monday, 8:00 AM Your Grok Bot roundup: 1 release since last Monday. v0.68.1 · Oct 7, 2026 Slide decks and Bot-colored chats - Bots can send formatted emails from a draft card, with headings, bold text, and lists. - Gmail send and reply fail less often, and Bots wait out Google's rate limits. - Bots can build slide decks with you and deliver them as PowerPoint or Google Slides. - The Bot's computer screen is now 1920 × 1200, up from 1280 × 800. Recommended for you 1. You draft a lot of email with your bots. Have one send your next weekly recap from a draft card so the formatting survives. (Formatted emails, v0.68.1) 2. You take over the bot's browser when it gets stuck. The bigger screen means less scrolling when you step in. (1920 × 1200 screen, v0.68.1) Example roundup built from the real v0.68.1 release notes. Your recommendations depend on what you tell it you use your bots for. What it does ### Watches one source Only the official Grok Bot changelog. It doesn't track Grok Build or third-party changelog sites. ### One roundup a week, on your schedule Every release since the last roundup, each with its version, date, and a few plain-language bullets. Changes that affect your daily bot use come first. ### Ends with "Recommended for you" Two or three suggestions based on what's new and how you use your bots. Each one is tied to a specific change. ### Doesn't guess If nothing shipped, you get one short line saying so. If the changelog page can't be loaded, it tells you instead of guessing. ### Checks on demand It doesn't ping you when a release ships, but you can ask it for a check in chat any time between roundups. ![Grok Bot launch artwork: the round Grok Bot icon and wordmark on a soft blue background](/images/grok-bot/grok-bot-launch-art.jpg) Image: [xAI](https://x.ai/news/introducing-grok-bot) ## It reads the official changelog, nothing else xAI posts every Grok Bot release with its version number and New, Improved, and Fixed notes. Changelog Scout reads that page, so the roundup is only as fast and as accurate as xAI's own notes.
