Developers get the same capability through the API, with a separate price list. Several startups said they will update their products within days, which is usually how new features reach most people.

Privacy groups asked how the new data will be stored and for how long. The company says customer data is not used for training by default on business plans. Consumer plans have a setting that you should check.

What happened

Not everyone is convinced. Some analysts say the update is mostly about catching up with rivals rather than moving the field forward. Others point to small but useful changes that the headlines missed.

  • API access at a separate price
  • Available first to paid plans
  • Older versions stay available for now
  • No change to default privacy settings

Why it matters
