Bites, a 10-person Bay Area startup, lets diners order from restaurants inside ChatGPT at in-store prices plus a flat $1 fee, sending orders straight to the restaurant’s POS. DoorDash has emailed restaurants about it. We explain the model, the price gap in a real order, the court ruling on customer data, DoorDash’s own AI tools and what it means for restaurants.
OpenAI has made Auto-review, the Codex setting where a second AI agent approves or blocks a coding agent’s risky actions, free for everyone signed in with a ChatGPT account. We explain how it works, what OpenAI’s own evaluation numbers show, what it will not protect against, how businesses can configure it and why free matters.
OpenAI announced ChatGPT visual ads on 5 October 2026: an image-led ad unit that will appear beneath images users are generating, tested in the US later this month. We explain how the format looks, why image generation is the first placement, the new measurement partners and partner-reported results, the brand-safety pilots, and what UK marketers and businesses should prepare.
OpenAI’s Python SDK 3.24.0 adds a Voices API method that clones a voice from a consented audio sample or designs one from a text prompt, while ChatGPT’s virtual Try On and Favorites launch globally. We explain how both work, the limits, the privacy trade-offs and what to do next.
A Wallet entry marked Coming soon has appeared in the ChatGPT app, beside Passwords and Finances, on the same day World App was renamed World Money. We set out what was spotted, what August code showed about card enrolment for agent tasks, why a ChatGPT Wallet fits Dots, what World Money is, and whether the two are linked.
OpenAI’s shareable ChatGPT profiles are rolling out to every plan. They show message counts, Work and Codex token usage, streaks, your top plugins and up to 12 Sites. Personal profiles start private, but Business profiles are shared with coworkers by default. We set out what a profile reveals, the Enterprise contradiction, and what to check before sharing.
OpenAI’s DevDay features copy five of the six jobs an app store does inside ChatGPT: discovery, distribution, interface, identity and review. The sixth, payment and commission, is missing. We map each layer, show what a developer keeps from a sale and explain how plan sharing turns the usual economics upside down.
OpenAI’s new $500 plan is the only personal ChatGPT tier with Astra Ultrafast, and it arrived as the $200 plan lost half its allowance. We check 18 claims against OpenAI’s own documents, show that every rung from Plus upward now costs $20 per unit of usage, and work out what Ultrafast does to a 25x allowance.
OpenAI used DevDay to turn ChatGPT into an app store for AI, with plugin extensions, a rebuilt directory, Sign in with ChatGPT and an enterprise Marketplace. We explain why it wants a store now, how money moves, how this differs from the GPT Store, and the safety concerns, from agent incidents to plugin updates that skip human review.
Dots by OpenAI reached AIxploria less than 15 hours after DevDay. We checked the card against OpenAI’s launch post, help centre and safety post: most claims hold, but it tags a paid-only agent as Freemium, mixes personal and specialist dots, shares its rank badge with Meta’s Muse and misses the UK route through Business Premium.
