Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: Out-of-box filter support for data sources in Copilot Search

Out-of-box filter support for data sources in Copilot Search
[Web]
IT admins can customize filters for data sources in Copilot Search without additional development work.
Roadmap ID:
502534
Detailes:
What changed:
Microsoft 365 Copilot search now includes a dynamic filtering experience that surfaces data source-specific filters. When users select a source (such as Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Azure DevOps, Google Drive, Jira, or Confluence), relevant filters automatically appear in the right rail.
Why:
This gives users more precise control over search results by tailoring filters to the selected data source-without requiring any admin setup or changes to existing policies.
Try this:
Select a specific data source in Copilot search (e.g., Outlook or SharePoint).
Use the dynamically populated filters in the right rail to refine results.
Switch data sources to see filters update automatically based on context.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Improves search accuracy while reducing administrative overhead-no configuration or policy updates required.
Personal impact:
Helps users find relevant information faster with less manual refinement.

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.

We improved Code Blocks in ChatGPT to make them more interactive.You can write, edit, and preview your code in ChatGPT, all in oneplace:
Write and edit text in-linePreview diagrams and mini apps directly in chatReview code in split-screen views
Brand Impact
ChatGPT now lets users write, edit, and test code directly within the chat window instead of copying it elsewhere, making coding tasks faster and more visual. This change could increase visibility for brands in developer tools, cloud platforms, and software services, since developers will spend more time in ChatGPT testing and building—creating more opportunities for relevant product recommendations within their workflow.

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.

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.

Built by reconnAI
