Grok Bot Desktop Extra

September 10, 2026 at 8:18 AM UTC

Dogfood pre-release 0.49.0-pre.7.patch.0 for Grok Bot desktop (sand-dogfood).

Changelog

  • [new] Asynchronous voice update path (sand_voice_async_update), available as a feature flag (off by default).
  • [new] Organization and team group MCP settings (get/update), plus organization remote control settings.
  • [new] Grok Bot agent plugin variable configuration (SetGrokBotAgentPluginVariables).
  • [changed] Agent prompt framing: assistants are instructed not to introduce themselves, replacing the prior “speak those names exactly as written” guidance.

0.49.0-pre.7.patch.0 is on the sand-dogfood track for:

  • macOS (darwin-arm64, darwin-x64)
  • Windows (win32-x64-user, win32-arm64-user)
