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.
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.
The bigger picture
The practical advice is the same as always: try it on a low-stakes task first, check the output against a source you trust, and keep a human in charge of anything that matters.
- Older versions stay available for now
- Usage limits apply to long tasks
- Available first to paid plans
- Rolling out region by region
Why it matters
We will update this story as more independent testing is published. If you have used the feature and want to share what you found, write to the editorial team.
The question is not whether it works in a demo. It is whether it works on Tuesday afternoon with real data.
A technology analyst
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.
What critics say
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.
Prices did not change, but limits did. Heavy users may hit the new caps sooner, especially when they upload large files or run long tasks in the background.
