ChatGPT Slides Launches With Space Collaboration and PowerPoint Export

OpenAI added ChatGPT Slides on October 16, 2026, giving eligible Pro, Business, and Enterprise users with Space access a shared place to create and refine presentations. A deck can start from a conversation, uploaded files, an outline, or an example presentation that guides the visual direction. Users can edit text, images, shapes, and charts, invite teammates to work in real time, and leave shared comments. Finished work can be presented inside ChatGPT or exported on the web to PowerPoint, PDF, or Google Slides. This guide explains availability, a practical first-deck workflow, and the checks people should complete before sharing AI-assisted slides.

OpenAI Updates Content Provenance: Extending the Work to EU Text

OpenAI's October 5 announcement sets out a phased approach to text watermarking, including API opt-in and a regional product rollout. The details are public and should be read alongside its broader media-provenance guidance. For publishers, the practical task is to distinguish which checks apply to text, images, and audio, and to keep evidence of how content was created and reviewed. A useful editorial record separates product coverage, source checks, permission to use materials, and AI disclosure. This article explains those distinctions and proposes a review workflow. A provenance signal is supporting evidence, not a substitute for factual verification or a conclusion about an author's identity or ownership.

GPT-6.1 Sol brings near-Astra capability to a lower-cost production tier

OpenAI made GPT-6.1 Sol available on September 29 as a lower-cost model for complex coding, computer use, and professional work with performance positioned near GPT-6 Astra. The official model page lists a 1.05-million-token context window, a 128,000-token output limit, five supported reasoning-effort levels, and Responses API tool calling. Standard API pricing is listed at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. A same-day safety addendum classifies cybersecurity capability as Critical and biological and chemical capability as High, with the Astra safeguard stack applied. Teams should route real tasks through a controlled comparison of quality, latency, total token use, tool success, refusals, and data-residency requirements before changing a production default.

Codex Cloud adds reusable team environments and cross-device task continuity

OpenAI's September 29 Business, Enterprise, and Edu release notes describe Codex Cloud environments that package a project's repositories, tools, and dependencies for reuse. Members can start or continue coding tasks from desktop, web, or mobile, each task receives an isolated workspace, and work can continue while the local computer sleeps. Enterprise administrators can authorize environment sharing and configure approved tool connections and recurring-task connections for teams. The convenience changes the operating boundary: organizations should define which repositories, branches, secrets, network destinations, and publishing actions are allowed in cloud environments, then retain audit evidence for each task, environment version, permission grant, and external write before broad rollout.

OpenAI research finds some cross-occupation AI tasks becoming recurring workflows

OpenAI published new Work at the Frontier research on September 16 using aggregated analysis of more than 1.5 million work-related ChatGPT messages from April through July 2026. Among roughly 6,200 consistently observed workers, previously used cross-occupation tasks rose from 13.1% to 25.9% of occupation-specific AI activity. In a matched one-month follow-up, 23.6% returned to a cross-occupation task used in the prior month versus 8.4% among comparable workers without observed prior use. The pattern suggests some experiments become routine, but it does not by itself prove causality or predict job replacement. Organizations still need workflow-level quality, rework, risk, and ownership evidence.

OpenAI combines legal search, specialized instructions, and governance controls in Astra for Law

OpenAI introduced Astra for Law on September 17, combining GPT-6 Astra with a legal search index, instructions for legal analysis and writing, and an ecosystem of professional plugins. OpenAI says the index searches United States case law, statutes, regulations, court rules, and administrative decisions across more than 230 million URLs. On 200 questions from a private Vals AI Legal Research Bench validation set, the complete setup passed an overall correctness check on 54.0% of questions, versus 38.7% for GPT-6 Astra with web search alone at the highest reasoning effort. Initial access is limited to selected firms, with API availability planned later, and lawyers must still verify authority and jurisdiction.
