xAI's Grok Bot 0.68.1 lets bots build slide decks with users and deliver them as PowerPoint or Google Slides, and send formatted emails from a draft card, according to Eric Zakariasson, who announced the release on X. The update also speeds up computer use on a 1920x1200 screen and gives 1:1 chat messages the color of the Bot.

A later post from the Grok Bot account on October 16 says computer tasks now finish three times sooner on average, and replies to other requests arrive in less than half the previous time. The post gives no measurement method or sample size.
