September 14, 2026 — Updated permissions for new Health connections

For new Health plugin connections, ChatGPT will now default to each user’s global plugins permissions setting.
If you make no changes to your Plugins settings, the default permission setting is “Allow low-risk actions.” This means that once you’ve connected your information in Health, ChatGPT can use it when relevant without asking for permission each time, unless you are attempting a sensitive action, such as asking ChatGPT to email a training plan based on your data to a running partner. This change reflects what we’ve seen from users: more than 70% of Health users already choose to allow ChatGPT to use data connected in Health without asking for permission each time.
You can change your Health permissions anytime inSettings → Plugins → Health.Learn moreabout how we keep Health data private and secure.

ChatGPT 27 Aug 2026 chatgpt

August 27, 2026 — More controls in temporary chat

We’re rolling out new controls in temporary chat. You can now choose to personalize responses in a temporary chat with memory, plugins, and custom instructions from your regular chat settings. You can also choose to save a temporary chat.
How it works
Personalized: When you create a temporary chat, you can choose to have personalized responses.  Personalized temporary chats can use your memories, custom instructions, and plugins to tailor responses. They do not create new memories and remain out of your chat history unless you save them. Personalization can be set only when you start a temporary chat and cannot be changed after the conversation begins.Non-personalized:By default, temporary chats are not personalized. Non-personalized temporary chats do not use memory, custom instructions, or plugins, and they do not create new memories.Saving a temporary chat:When a conversation becomes useful for the future, you can add it to your chat history. Saving converts it into a regular chat, so it then follows your account-level personalization settings and model-improvement preferences. For example, if you have memory enabled and save a temporary chat, this will become part of your chat history and can be referenced to personalized future responses.

ChatGPT 25 Aug 2026 chatgpt

August 25, 2026 — Scheduled tasks can respond to app updates and be shared

Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT Work can use webhooks to respond when something changes in a supported app, helping you keep work moving without repeatedly checking for updates. You can also share a task so someone else can review and customize it, connect their own apps, and schedule an independent copy.Supported webhooks include new Gmail messages, Slack channel messages, and GitHub pull request activity.
Create webhook-triggered tasks
Plus and Pro users can ask Work on web, iOS, and Android to respond when a new Gmail message arrives, a Slack channel receives a message, or a GitHub pull request changes. For example, ask ChatGPT to summarize an email announcing that registration has opened, or draft next steps after a client shares feedback in Slack. Add @ChatGPT to each monitored Slack channel. Actions that require approval pause until you review them.
Share scheduled tasks
Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users can share scheduled tasks. Recipients can review and customize the instructions and, when applicable, the schedule, connect their own apps, and create an independent copy. Running a shared webhook-triggered task requires access to Work and the recipient’s own connected app.
Scheduled tasks for Free users
Free users can create up to three active scheduled tasks. Tasks can run once or recur no more than once per day using flexible scheduling windows. Free and Go users cannot create webhook-triggered tasks.For more information, see:Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT.

August 25, 2026 — ChatGPT Work can now complete tasks on signed-in websites

ChatGPT Work’s browser on web and mobile can also help you get tasks done on some websites that require you to sign in—so you can hand off a task and step away while it keeps working.
To get started, just ask ChatGPT Work to complete your task. If a website allows authentication, ChatGPT will surface the login screen so you can securely enter your credentials. You may also need to enter a security code. Once you’re signed in, ChatGPT can continue working. Your session may remain signed in for future tasks, so you don’t have to log in again every time. ChatGPT Work’s browser supports the use of password managers for simple, safe login. ChatGPT cannot see your username or password, and they are never seen by the model or used in model training. ChatGPT does not store your username or passwords. You can delete your browsing history from all sites or one site individually at any time from Settings > Cloud browser > Browser data.
You can now ask ChatGPT Work to do things like:
Figure out utilities for a new apartment and sign up for the right planBook a DMV appointment or fill out your passport renewal formsCheck X-ray and bloodwork costs through your insurance portalFind profiles of people that fit your job description and are open to work
You stay in control of which websites ChatGPT Work can access, and it will always ask for confirmation before consequential actions, such as completing a reservation or payment.
Authentication in ChatGPT Work’s browser is available for Plus and Pro plans.

August 13, 2026 — Google Drive is now in Library

If you have the Google Drive plugin connected, you can now see and browse your Google Drive files and folders directly from Library, including items shared directly with you. You can also quickly pull up a Drive file from the composer or with @mentions and add it to any chat—without uploading it again.
When you’re working with a file, you can now keep Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides open beside the conversation while asking ChatGPT to summarize, analyze, compare, or create something new from them. You can also select a folder and ask ChatGPT to work across the files it contains. Your content stays connected to Drive, so it’s easy to return to the original. Where supported and authorized, ChatGPT can update the source file directly.
Availability
The initial experience includes My Drive and files and folders shared directly with you; Shared Drives aren’t included yet. Some Google Drive editing and collaboration features aren’t yet available in ChatGPT.
Rolling out to Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Edu, Healthcare and Business users on the web in both the Chat and Work toggles. Mobile support will follow.

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.
