Why:
This feature was added to leverage the wealth of internal knowledge and insights stored in Guru. By doing so, it enhances decision-making processes and streamlines access to valuable information for team members.
Try this:
Connect Microsoft 365 Copilot with Guru to start accessing your organization's internal knowledge base.

Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: Expand Copilot Agents with Mail, People, and Meeting Insights

Expand Copilot Agents with Mail, People, and Meeting Insights
[Windows, Web]
Copilot declarative agents can now integrate with richer M365 data: mail, people's data, Teams chats, and meeting transcripts.
What Changed:
Agents can now tap into richer Microsoft 365 data sources - email, Teams chats, meeting transcripts, and people data - to deliver more context-aware answers and automate tasks seamlessly.
Why:
Modern work spans inboxes, chats, calendars, and documents. Constant switching slows teams down. By grounding declarative agents in organizational data, Copilot reduces context-switching, improves accuracy, and accelerates decision-making.
Try This:
Create a declarative agent that uses Meetings data to generate a project summary.
Sample query:
“Summarize decisions and blockers from this week’s meetings relating to Project X.”
Create a declarative agent that uses Email data to draft emails.
Sample query:
"Draft follow up emails for unresolved items from yesterday."
Why This Matters:
Business Impact:
Teams works faster when Copilot agents bring context from across Microsoft 365 into one place. By reducing time spent searching through emails, chats and transcripts, organizations improve decision accuracy, accelerate workflows, and keep projects moving without delays.
Personal Impact:
Users no longer need to juggle multiple tools to gather context. Copilot agents can consolidate multiple knowledge capabilities in one place, saving time and reducing cognitive load throughout the workday.

Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: Generate Office documents from agents in Copilot Studio lite

Generate Office documents from agents in Copilot Studio lite
[Windows, Web]
Agents built with Copilot Studio lite can generate PowerPoint decks, Excel spreadsheets, and Word documents via chat, with files saved to OneDrive.
Roadmap ID:
506753
Details:
What changed:
Office skills are available in Copilot Studio lite. Users can chat with an agent to generate PowerPoint, Excel, and Word files. Files are saved to OneDrive to streamline organization and support retention policies. These skills are part of the “Generate code, graphs, and documents” capability (formerly known as Code Interpreter).
Why:
Automating common document tasks helps teams move faster and maintain consistency, while OneDrive storage supports governance needs.
Try this:
Ask your agent to create a Word document with a project outline.
Request an Excel spreadsheet with labeled columns for status tracking.
Generate a PowerPoint deck with section titles for an upcoming review.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Reduces manual document creation time and supports compliant storage.

Admins can now define ACL permission rules per table for ServiceNow ticket ingestion, reducing setup complexity.
Details:
What changed:
Previously, permissions were selected for all tables combined. Now, admins define permission rules for each selected table, improving control and clarity.
Why:
Per-table ACL rules simplify configuration and provide finer-grained access control aligned with data security practices.
Try this:
Set ACL permissions for a single table that requires restricted access.
Review and adjust table-level rules to match ingestion needs.
Validate table permissions to ensure correct access during ingestion.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Reduces configuration complexity and improves security alignment for ticket data.

January 7, 2026 — Health in ChatGPT

We’re starting to roll outHealth, a dedicated space in ChatGPT for health and wellness conversations. You can securely connect medical records, Apple Health and supported wellness apps so answers can be grounded in your own data. Health is designed to help you navigate medical care, not replace it. Health conversations, memory, and files are kept separate from the rest of ChatGPT and are not used to train our foundation models.
Health appears as a new space in the ChatGPT sidebar. If you ask a health-related question in a regular chat, ChatGPT may also suggest continuing in Health. If you’re interested in getting access as it becomes available, you can sign up for thewaitlist. We’re starting by providing access to a small group of early users to learn and continue refining the experience. At launch, Health is available onweb and iOS, with Android coming soon toChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro usersin supported countries (excluding the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK).

Tracking what they’re building

Observed site activity — new pages appearing on each platform’s website, updated daily.

What is the LLM Changelog?

The LLM Changelog is a live, automated tracker that monitors release notes and documentation updates across the largest AI platforms — including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Perplexity AI, Microsoft Copilot and Google Search. Changes are crawled daily and presented in a single, searchable feed.

Why AI Platform Changes Matter for Brands

When AI models update their training data, adjust ranking signals or change how they cite sources, the brands and products they recommend can shift overnight. An API change to Gemini or a new feature in ChatGPT can alter which businesses get mentioned in millions of AI-generated responses.

Platforms We Track

We currently monitor ChatGPT release notes, OpenAI developer and model changelogs, Gemini API and app updates, Perplexity product and API changes, Microsoft 365 Copilot release notes, and Google Search Central documentation updates. New sources are added as the AI landscape evolves.
