Agent Identity Blueprint
We’ve updated Claude for Excel so it uses Opus 4.6 and supports native Excel operations such as pivot table editing and conditional formatting. See our updated article for more information:Using Claude for Excel.
What
: Added more information on how sites can increase the likelihood of their
content
appearing in Discover
.
Why
: We're rolling out the
February 2026 Discover Core Update
.
Brand Impact
Google has expanded guidance for website owners on how to improve their chances of being featured in Google Discover, its personalized content recommendation feed. This update provides clearer insights into the specific content attributes and quality signals that can help brands and publishers increase their visibility, potentially boosting organic reach and user engagement for sites that align with Google's recommended best practices.
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.
What
: While moving over the information about the default file size limits of
Google's crawlers and fetchers to the
crawler documentation
,
we also updated the
Googlebot documentation
about its own file size limits.
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.
Brand Impact
Google has updated its documentation about web crawling file size limits, consolidating information to provide clearer guidance about how its search crawler processes different types of web content. This documentation change could subtly influence how websites structure their content to ensure optimal visibility and indexing by Google's search systems, potentially affecting which web pages and brands appear more prominently in search results.
Today we’re releasing the Codex app for MacOS, a command center for managing multiple coding agents in parallel. The app lets you run long‑horizon and background tasks, review clean diffs from isolated worktrees, see agent progress and decisions, and execute reusable skills and automations.
Available with ChatGPT plans that include Codex, with a limited‑time promo: Free and Go can try Codex with included limits, while Plus, and Pro users get 2x Codex rate limits.
Get started by downloading the macOS app, andlearn moreabout Codex.
What
: Added
preferred sources documentation
for website owners.
Why
: To help publishers understand how to help their audience find their site as a preferred source.
Brand Impact
Google AI has introduced new guidelines for website owners to help their content become more prominently recommended in AI search and recommendation systems. These guidelines will likely advantage publishers who clearly demonstrate expertise, provide comprehensive and authoritative content, and use clear, structured metadata that helps AI platforms understand their content's relevance and quality.
- Launched support for the Computer Use tool in `gemini-3-pro-preview` and `gemini-3-flash-preview`.
Brand Impact
Google's Gemini AI can now directly interact with computer software and applications across different platforms. This update means the AI could potentially recommend or suggest specific productivity tools, software solutions, or digital workflows more accurately based on a user's context and needs, giving brands in the tech and software space a new opportunity to be surfaced as relevant suggestions.
On February 13, 2026, alongside thepreviously announced retirement of GPT‑5 (Instant and Thinking), we will retire GPT‑4o, GPT‑4.1, GPT‑4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini from ChatGPT. In the API, there are no changes at this time. For more, see ourblog postorhelp center.

Simplified ServiceNow tickets setup with per-table ACL rules
[Web]
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.
Personal impact:
Helps individuals manage permissions more clearly and confidently.
