LLM/AI Changelog

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.

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.

Starting today forChatGPT Enterprise and Educationusers, long pastes are handled differently in ChatGPT.
If you pastemore than 10k charactersinto the composer, ChatGPT will automatically convert the content into anattachmentinstead of inserting it directly into the text field. This keeps the composer cleaner and helps prevent large pastes from consuming your entire context window.
You can still move the content back into the message at any time by clicking onShow in text fieldto convert the attachment back to a direct paste.
This is already available to users on all other plans.

Three new plugins for ChatGPT Work and Codex help students and educators work with their own course materials, connected tools, and institution-approved apps.
College Student:Create study guides, practice quizzes, flashcards, and interactive explanations using the materials you’re already studying.College Educator:Develop syllabi, course materials, assessments, and interactive learning resources, including content for a learning management system.K–12 Educator:Plan lessons, create classroom resources, adapt materials for different learners, and develop interactive visuals.
The plugins are available through ChatGPT Edu and ChatGPT for Teachers district deployments. Schools and institutions control which tools and permissions are available.

* **Gemini Robotics ER 2 in public preview**: Released two new embodied
reasoning model endpoints for robotics:

* `gemini-robotics-er-2-preview`: Advanced spatial reasoning, agentic code
execution, multi-step tool orchestration, video moment finding, progress
classification, and multi-robot coordination.
* `gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview`: Optimized for real-time text
streaming using the Live API, enabling low-latency robot agents with
bidirectional audio and video input.

Both model endpoints accept text, image, video, and audio inputs and support
function calling with blocking behavior for physical robot actions. To get
started, see the [Gemini Robotics ER overview](/docs/robotics-overview).
For real-time streaming use cases, see [Robotics with
streaming](/docs/robotics-streaming).

* **Deprecation announcement**: The `gemini-robotics-er-1.6-preview` model
will be [shut down](/docs/deprecations) on August 31, 2026.

Surface rich images inline within responses
[Windows, Web]
Copilot now displays rich images from files and meetings directly within responses to improve comprehension.
Details:
What changed:
Previously, Copilot responses included text only. Now, it surfaces relevant images inline from files and meetings to provide visual context. This enhancement supports richer content formats while maintaining data security and compliance with Microsoft 365 policies.
Why:
Visual information helps users understand complex content faster and reduces the need to switch between apps or documents.
Try this:
Ask Copilot a question related to your meeting notes or documents.
Review the inline images that appear alongside the text response.
Click images to open the source file or meeting contenvt for more details.
Why this matters:
Including images directly in responses helps users grasp information quickly and reduces context switching.
Business impact:
Teams can collaborate more effectively by accessing visual content without leaving the Copilot interface.
Personal impact:
You save time by seeing relevant images immediately, improving comprehension and decision-making.
