The summary

Generated every Sunday evening from the week's new entries.

Highlights of the week

The configuration data indicates a strong push toward enterprise and team monetization, with the introduction of a "ChatGPT Business" offering that includes ad credits for eligible workspaces. This aligns with the public announcement regarding the default activation of workspace agents ("dots") for Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare users later this month. Additionally, the automation features observed in previous weeks are gaining a dedicated tracking interface powered by the GPT-5.6 Luna model, and the "Pages" feature is receiving a direct-save capability that bypasses text regeneration.

Focus by theme

Search

URL routing configurations have been significantly expanded to reflect recent public announcements and upcoming features. New endpoints have been added for workspace agents (/features/agent, /agents/**), aligning with the deployment of "dots". The routing also includes new paths for Codex (/features/codex, /codex/for-developers, /codex/switch-to-codex), which coincides with the announced adjustments to Pro quotas in preparation for the ChatGPT and Codex limit pooling. Furthermore, new marketing or feature pages for PDF chatting, desktop applications, and shopping research have been added to the routing table.

Web run

The role-based automation tools observed last week continue to be adjusted. The "finance" category appears to have been replaced by a "general" category, while the other professional roles (engineering, human resources, legal) remain active. A new Model Context Protocol server identified as squatch has been added to the configuration, suggesting ongoing expansion of internal or third-party tool integrations.

Retrieval and grounding

The "Pages" (Canvas) feature is receiving a notable update to its tool prompt. The system is now explicitly instructed to allow users to save a selected chat response directly as a Page without regenerating its content, preserving the exact existing layout and only requiring a concise title.

For the ongoing goal and automation features, a new goal_summary_generation system has been deployed. Powered by the gpt-5.6-luna model, this system generates short progress summaries (under 300 characters) displayed in the sidebar. The system prompt strictly enforces grounding: the model must use the saved Markdown plan as the absolute source of truth, distinguish completed work from planned work, and is explicitly forbidden from inventing progress, dates, or outcomes.

In the context of image generation, the heuristics pattern used to detect when a user wants to generate an image has been updated to explicitly include the word "gif". This change directly supports the public launch of ChatGPT Images 2.6 this week, which introduced animated GIF generation.

Ads and commerce

A major new initiative called "ChatGPT Business" is visible in the localization files. The copy encourages users to bring their teams to Business and introduces an ad credit offer for eligible workspaces. Workspace owners will be able to claim these ad credits through a dedicated "Benefits" section.

Alongside this, new usage rails and alerts are being implemented for workspaces. This includes a specific work_luna_reserve_banner and a model picker, indicating that workspaces may have dedicated capacity reservations for the Luna model. The advertising interface is also testing a new multi-ad navigation feature.

The rollout of the new subscription tiers observed last week continues. The iOS application configuration now explicitly defines the plan comparison order as plus, pro, and go, confirming the integration of these new tiers into the mobile upgrade flow.

To monitor

The "Pages" feature (internally referred to as "granola") is preparing to support a new dashboard document type. Concurrently, the maximum document node limits for workbooks, presentations, and whiteboards have been tripled from 250,000 to 750,000, indicating preparation for much larger and more complex user documents.

A new "learning home" interface is present in the configuration, initially set to support six display languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese). This suggests an upcoming localized educational or onboarding hub.

The native presentation and slide creation feature continues to advance. New quick-start modals and introductory screens have been enabled, and a new text_page_document_schema has been added alongside the existing presentation and spreadsheet schemas.

Finally, the homework helper widget continues to be tuned. While the classifier continues to use the chat-luna-ev3-gpt6-v1 model, the prompt key has been renamed to remove the explicit "gpt6" reference, and its cooldown behavior has been modified from an explicit trigger to a missing interaction mode.
