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.
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.

What critics say
The announcement came with a short blog post, a technical document and a handful of demos. As usual, the demos show the best case. We read the documentation to see what the product does on an ordinary day.
The question is not whether it works in a demo. It is whether it works on Tuesday afternoon with real data.
A technology analyst
The timing is not an accident. Competitors have shipped similar updates in recent months, and every lab wants to be the default choice when a company signs a yearly contract.
The details
For most readers, the change will be gradual. Paid users get access first, then the feature moves to free plans over the following weeks. Businesses usually wait for admin controls before they switch anything on.
If you use these tools at work, ask your administrator whether the new feature is turned on, and what the company policy says about using it with customer data.
