We're rolling out an age prediction model on ChatGPT consumer plans to help determine whether an account likely belongs to someone under 18, so we can apply the right experience and safeguards for teens.The model looks at a combination of behavioral and account-level signals, including how long an account has existed, typical times of day when someone is active, usage patterns over time, and a user’s stated age.If an adult is placed in the under-18 experience by mistake, they can quickly verify their age with a selfie through Persona, a verification service available in Settings > Account. Users can check whether safeguards have been added and verify at any time.

Organizations need AI-powered solutions that not only respond accurately but anticipate user needs. GPT-5 delivers higher precision and better handling of complex queries, resulting in agents that feel more responsive and intelligent, reducing repetitive follow-ups.
Try This:
Open Agent Builder in Microsoft 365 Copilot to create a new declarative agent that runs on GPT‑5 as the foundation.
Configure your agent with domain-specific knowledge and test its ability to handle scenario-based queries.
Ask your new agent:
“Help me draft a Q4 performance summary with recommendations based on last quarter’s sales trends.”
Why this matters:
Business Impact:
Smarter agents mean streamlined workflows and faster completion of complex business processes, reducing time-to-value and improving ROI on AI initiatives.
Personal Impact:
Users experience fewer frustrations when interacting with Copilot, getting precise answers and recommendations that fit their context—saving time and effort.

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.

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).

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.
