ChatGPT gets 3 big updates: Gmail/Slack/GitHub-triggered tasks, passwordless login, GPT-5.6 Sol 20% cheaper
Matt Wolfe · youtube · 2026-09-08
Matt Wolfe rounds up three useful ChatGPT updates:
- Event-triggered automation: ChatGPT can now run tasks triggered from Gmail, Slack, and GitHub, wiring agent capabilities into everyday workflows.
- Secure sign-in: a new mechanism to securely log into websites without exposing your password.
- GPT-5.6 Sol price cut: the model now costs 20% less to use.
All three are end-user-facing updates, with event-triggered automation edging closest to a real personal-assistant agent.
