1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,180
Four official releases landed between
November third and November sixth,

2
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:18,560
and the one that matters most is 0.79.2,
because your Bot now tells you when a web

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,180
page hides instructions aimed at AI
agents.

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,140
It says it found them, and it says it
didn't follow them.

5
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:27,440
Quick note first, this is brought to you
by Jellypod AI.

6
00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:33,520
Last episode we looked at early field
reports and the 0.78.1 baseline.

7
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:39,180
This time it's the official published
changelogs from xAI, for 0.78.4,

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,780
0.78.5, 0.79.2 and 0.79.3.

9
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:47,945
Start with 0.78.4, November third.

10
00:00:48,645 --> 00:00:52,365
It also rolls in 0.78.2 and 0.78.3.

11
00:00:53,145 --> 00:00:58,265
The Bot can now ask for a refund on a
subscription charge, and it lists each way to

12
00:00:58,405 --> 00:01:00,425
ask before it sends or submits anything.

13
00:01:01,285 --> 00:01:04,285
That ordering is the point, you see the
options first.

14
00:01:04,985 --> 00:01:08,865
When a Bot starts a cloud agent, the chat
shows their exchange as a conversation,

15
00:01:09,205 --> 00:01:11,025
with the agent's icon and name.

16
00:01:11,665 --> 00:01:16,825
The Tasks pane lists those agents as
Working, Run failed, or Status unavailable.

17
00:01:17,604 --> 00:01:21,565
And dictation can go out as a voice memo,
which plays in the chat and has Show

18
00:01:21,645 --> 00:01:22,325
transcript.

19
00:01:23,225 --> 00:01:26,165
Team Bots can also suggest other team Bots
that fit a request.

20
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:28,300
Checkout got smoother too.

21
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,100
After you approve a flight, stay, or
grocery cart and its total,

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,020
the Bot pays on its own, and asks again
only if something material changes.

23
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,480
But checkout with a saved card still waits
for you to tap Pay on the order card

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,640
before it fills in the card.

25
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,220
So autonomy, with a hand on the brake.

26
00:01:45,903 --> 00:01:52,483
Version 0.78.5, November fourth, is a
smaller release with one big idea.

27
00:01:53,183 --> 00:01:56,403
You can connect your personal tailnet from
the Tailscale plugin,

28
00:01:56,723 --> 00:01:58,943
so Bots can reach MCP servers on it.

29
00:01:59,643 --> 00:02:02,843
Routines you schedule can run on your Bot
computer while it's connected to your

30
00:02:02,903 --> 00:02:05,863
tailnet, and it runs only what you send it
yourself.

31
00:02:07,223 --> 00:02:11,663
Also, a scheduled reorder of your usual
list asks for one approval per order,

32
00:02:12,203 --> 00:02:13,983
and that approval shows the checkout
total.

33
00:02:15,063 --> 00:02:17,603
That's the right design for anything that
spends money on a timer.

34
00:02:18,318 --> 00:02:24,458
Now 0.79.2, November fifth, which also
includes 0.79.0 and

35
00:02:24,558 --> 00:02:25,958
0.79.1.

36
00:02:26,398 --> 00:02:29,978
Ask the Bot to find a gift and it asks for
the recipient, budget,

37
00:02:30,238 --> 00:02:34,278
occasion, and deliver by date, and it
never orders one that arrives late.

38
00:02:34,898 --> 00:02:39,018
On several major US airline sites, booking
a flight follows the site's steps,

39
00:02:39,478 --> 00:02:42,178
and if a booking stops, it ends with a
link to finish.

40
00:02:42,878 --> 00:02:46,138
Commands that open or unlock your Tesla,
or let someone drive it,

41
00:02:46,498 --> 00:02:47,818
always ask for your approval.

42
00:02:48,958 --> 00:02:51,298
That last one is exactly where you want a
hard rule.

43
00:02:51,927 --> 00:02:57,967
For builders, the Bot's computer can now
run ssh and psql, and it runs Node.js

44
00:02:58,047 --> 00:03:01,307
scripts, including ones that start with
the usual node shebang line.

45
00:03:02,127 --> 00:03:07,227
Put that next to the Tailscale connection
from 0.78.5 and you get a practical

46
00:03:07,267 --> 00:03:07,906
combination.

47
00:03:08,547 --> 00:03:11,847
The changelog doesn't spell out that
workflow, so that's my read,

48
00:03:11,947 --> 00:03:15,627
but it's a natural fit for reaching a
database or internal service over your

49
00:03:15,687 --> 00:03:16,167
tailnet.

50
00:03:17,027 --> 00:03:20,727
Also in this release, the Library has
filters for Pinned, All,

51
00:03:21,187 --> 00:03:24,927
Pages, Media, Links, Files, and Apps.

52
00:03:25,667 --> 00:03:30,307
The sidebar hides behind a toggle with one
Bot, shows as a narrow rail with two to

53
00:03:30,387 --> 00:03:32,587
four, and in full with five or more.

54
00:03:33,127 --> 00:03:36,847
The desktop app has a new flat icon, and
Settings offers Slovenian.

55
00:03:37,425 --> 00:03:38,465
Fixes worth knowing.

56
00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:43,445
Before placing an order, the Bot rechecks
the shipping and total you approved,

57
00:03:43,725 --> 00:03:45,965
and tells you if the charged total
differs.

58
00:03:46,485 --> 00:03:50,805
A one off routine turns off after it runs
instead of firing again next year.

59
00:03:51,425 --> 00:03:52,185
That one's a relief.

60
00:03:52,985 --> 00:03:57,565
On Windows, the app no longer freezes for
seconds the first time it loads a JPEG.

61
00:03:58,245 --> 00:04:02,085
And for Teams, admins can set a Bot
Computer Retention Period,

62
00:04:02,485 --> 00:04:05,325
after which inactive members' Bot
computers are terminated.

63
00:04:05,965 --> 00:04:09,165
Then 0.79.3, November sixth.

64
00:04:09,925 --> 00:04:14,965
Shared Pages get a title bar button,
Switch to dark theme or Switch to light theme,

65
00:04:15,145 --> 00:04:16,285
that remembers your choice.

66
00:04:16,985 --> 00:04:20,965
People from a shared Slack workspace can
message a Team Bot directly,

67
00:04:21,285 --> 00:04:23,605
and a different person starts a new
conversation.

68
00:04:24,545 --> 00:04:29,425
When the usual page fetch fails, the Bot
reads the page directly instead of opening

69
00:04:29,485 --> 00:04:30,265
it in a browser.

70
00:04:32,005 --> 00:04:36,745
Phone calls got cleaner: a busy or
unreachable call now shows No answer,

71
00:04:37,325 --> 00:04:41,165
and when someone interrupts, the live
transcript shows only the part of the Bot's

72
00:04:41,225 --> 00:04:42,105
line they heard.

73
00:04:42,825 --> 00:04:46,425
Unanswered and failed call cards offer
Copy conversation ID.

74
00:04:47,215 --> 00:04:48,655
Two smaller safety notes.

75
00:04:49,255 --> 00:04:53,575
A revoked X Money connection stays signed
out until you tap Connect in the app,

76
00:04:54,055 --> 00:04:56,575
and saying yes in chat doesn't reconnect
it.

77
00:04:57,115 --> 00:05:01,135
And email the spam filter holds is kept so
the Bot can read it when you ask,

78
00:05:01,515 --> 00:05:02,735
and it still doesn't wake you.

79
00:05:03,445 --> 00:05:07,365
Now the client side, and this comes from
community and forum reports,

80
00:05:07,545 --> 00:05:08,925
not the official changelog.

81
00:05:09,885 --> 00:05:15,285
A support reply attributed to Mohit Jain
says the Automatic Updates toggle only

82
00:05:15,325 --> 00:05:17,265
controls background auto restart.

83
00:05:17,685 --> 00:05:22,245
It does not stop the client from
downloading and staging a mandatory version like

84
00:05:22,565 --> 00:05:24,005
0.79.3.

85
00:05:24,805 --> 00:05:28,645
Once older builds age out, the app shows
an Update required screen,

86
00:05:29,065 --> 00:05:32,445
and there's currently no supported
rollback or version pinning path.

87
00:05:33,725 --> 00:05:34,725
So plan for it.

88
00:05:35,563 --> 00:05:40,263
Users on Windows and macOS also reported
transient Bot failed to respond and Bot

89
00:05:40,363 --> 00:05:43,063
stopped without replying errors, even on
simple greetings.

90
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:46,843
Support said some behavior shifts and
routing happen on the backend,

91
00:05:46,943 --> 00:05:48,463
not only from desktop regressions.

92
00:05:49,523 --> 00:05:53,423
On macOS, some failed updates, with the
message that the downloaded update couldn't

93
00:05:53,463 --> 00:05:57,283
be prepared, traced to a disabled ShipIt
helper in launchctl.

94
00:05:58,063 --> 00:06:02,583
The reported fix is to run launchctl
enable on gui, your user ID,

95
00:06:02,723 --> 00:06:05,423
slash com dot anysphere dot sand dot
ShipIt.

96
00:06:06,010 --> 00:06:06,870
How to use all this.

97
00:06:07,370 --> 00:06:09,590
Try the gift flow with a real deadline.

98
00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:13,390
Set up a scheduled reorder and check that
the approval shows the total.

99
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:18,830
If you run infrastructure, connect your
tailnet and test ssh and psql from the Bot's

100
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:19,290
computer.

101
00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:23,290
And let the hidden instruction notice make
you more comfortable letting the Bot

102
00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:23,770
browse.

103
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:26,870
That's the week, brought to you by
Jellypod AI.
