Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: Declarative agents upgraded to GPT-5.1
Declarative agents upgraded to GPT-5.1
Microsoft 365 Copilot declarative agents now use the GPT-5.1 model with automatic model selection for performance and reasoning.
Detailes:
What changed:
Declarative agents now run on GPT-5.1 using "auto" architecture, which selects the best model (fast or reasoning-optimized) based on the user's prompt. This improves speed and quality. Note that as the agent uses the "Think deeper" mode to generate higher quality responses, users will experience a slightly higher latency.
Why:
The upgrade ensures declarative agents provide more accurate and detailed responses.
Try this:
Use a declarative agent to process complex queries.
Test scenarios that require fast responses versus deeper reasoning.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Supports higher-quality automation and decision-making.
Personal impact:
Provides users with faster and more accurate responses.

Gemini 3.1 Pro: A smarter model for your most complex tasksWhat:Building on the Gemini 3 series, we’re releasing 3.1 Pro, a smarter and more capable model for complex problem-solving. 3.1 Pro is designed for tasks where a simple answer isn’t enough, taking advanced reasoning and making it useful for your hardest challenges. This improved intelligence can help in practical applications — whether you’re looking for a clear, visual explanation of a complex topic, a way to synthesize data into a single view, or a step-by-step plan bringing an ambitious creative project to life.3.1 Pro is rolling out globally to the Gemini app, with higher limits for users with Google AI Pro and Ultra plans. To access, select “Pro” in the model drop down.Why:We want to make Gemini the most helpful AI assistant for everyone. With the advanced reasoning of Gemini 3.1 Pro, you can now tackle your most complex projects with greater confidence.
Brand Impact
Google has upgraded its Gemini AI to a smarter version (3.1 Pro) that's better at handling complicated tasks like detailed analysis, data synthesis, and creative planning. This more powerful AI could favor brands and products that benefit from complex recommendations—such as enterprise software, premium creative tools, and data analytics platforms—since the AI now excels at multi-step reasoning. Conversely, brands relying on simple, quick answers may see less visibility, as the upgraded model prioritizes depth and nuance over brevity.

Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: More frequent ticket status updates for the ServiceNow Tickets Copilot connector
More frequent ticket status updates for the ServiceNow Tickets Copilot connector
[Web]
The ServiceNow Tickets Copilot connector updates ticket status more frequently by ingesting both active and inactive tickets.
Roadmap ID:
505437
Details:
What changed:
The ServiceNow Tickets Copilot connector now ingests both active and inactive tickets by default, improving how often ticket status changes appear in Copilot responses. Admins can also edit the data query filter to include inactive tickets for existing connections.

Inactive tickets were not previously ingested, which could lead to outdated ticket status information in Copilot responses.
Try this:
Review the query filter for existing ServiceNow Tickets connections.
Update the filter to include both active and inactive tickets if needed.
Communicate the change to your ServiceNow stakeholders and Copilot users.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Improves the quality of Copilot responses that reference ServiceNow tickets by keeping ticket status information current.
Personal impact:
Reduces confusion by showing more up-to-date ticket statuses in Copilot answers.

February 4, 2026 — Update on thinking time settings for GPT-5.2 Thinking in ChatGPT
Jan 10, 2026:We lowered the Standard and Light thinking time as we observed users prefer faster responses. As part of this update, theExtendedthinking setting for GPT-5.2 was unintentionally changed to be lower which we have now fixed.
February 3, 2026:We made another small reduction to Standard thinking time based on testing.
February 4, 2026:We’re restoring theExtendedthinking level for GPT-5.2 Thinking to its prior setting, correcting the inadvertent reduction from January. Extended is now back to its prior level.We periodically adjust the default thinking time for our reasoning models. These changes are based on ongoing experiments to find the best balance between answer quality and response speed for users.Thethinking level toggleintroduced in September 2025 gives users more choice beyond Standard, allowing them to select the right thinking level for their question—whether they want lighter, faster responses or more extended reasoning when depth and accuracy matter more.Thinking time is not directly comparable across different models. Each model is tuned independently to what works best for users. We’ll continue to adjust these settings as models evolve, and will keep giving users clear controls when there are meaningful tradeoffs to choose from.

Why
: The original location of the default file size limits was not the most logical
place as it applies to all of Google's crawlers and fetchers, and the move enabled us to
be more precise about Googlebot's limits.

Users can leverage multi-agent workflows
[Windows, Web]
Agents in Copilot can now use other agents to accomplish work if configured. Users can see the interaction between agents.
Details:
What changed:
Researcher and other agents could call simple APIs but not other AI agents. Now multiple agents will coordinate to respond to the user's task.
Why:
Multi-agent systems support more difficult work that requires multiple special AI systems.
Try this:
Administrators: Add some of your most-used agents to Researcher.
Users: Use Researcher on topics that require expertise from the agents available in Researcher's Sources menu.
Developers: Connect other Declarative Agents to your agent.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Streamlines complex, multi system workflows.
Personal impact:
Makes interactions with multiple agents feel smoother.

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.
Built by reconnAI
reconnAI tracks how AI systems represent brands in their responses. We monitor mentions, sentiment and citations across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and more — helping businesses understand and improve their visibility in the age of AI search. Learn more →
