ChatGPT Voice gets an upgrade for paid users with better instruction following and fewer repeats of custom prompts. A new age prediction feature rolls out on consumer plans to tailor teen safety experiences, using signals and an in‑app selfie verification if needed. You can check safeguards and verify age anytime.
Voice Updates
We’re making an update to ChatGPT Voice for paid users that improves its ability to follow user instructions, as well as fixes a bug where Voice can sometimes repeat back custom instructions.
Rolling out age prediction
We're rolling out an age prediction model on ChatGPT consumer plans to help determine whether an account likely belongs to someone under 18, so we can apply the right experience and safeguards for teens.
The model looks at a combination of behavioral and account-level signals, including how long an account has existed, typical times of day when someone is active, usage patterns over time, and a user’s stated age.
If an adult is placed in the under-18 experience by mistake, they can quickly verify their age with a selfie through Persona, a verification service available in Settings > Account. Users can check whether safeguards have been added and verify at any time.

ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business reinvention, today announced OpenAI will be a preferred intelligence capability for enterprises that run more than 80 billion workflows each year on its platform.
Enterprises around the world use ServiceNow to orchestrate workflows that keep their systems and operations running smoothly. In complex environments where technology is spread across many systems, teams, and vendors, ServiceNow ties everything together—helping organizations spot issues early, route work to the right people, manage approvals, and resolve challenges quickly so the business keeps moving.
ServiceNow’s AI Platform brings OpenAI models like GPT‑5.2 directly into these enterprise workflows, so AI can understand what’s happening, help decide what to do next, and take action within a customer’s secure infrastructure. With OpenAI, ServiceNow will unlock a new level of automation for the world’s largest companies enabling enterprise intelligence at scale for any function or department including IT, finance, sales, human resources, and more.
“ServiceNow leads the market in AI-powered workflows, setting the enterprise standard for real-world AI outcomes,” said Amit Zavery, president, chief operating officer, and chief product officer at ServiceNow. “Together, Service and OpenAI are building the future of AI experiences: deploying AI that takes end-to-end action in complex enterprise environments—not sandboxes. As companies shift experimenting with AI to deploying it at scale, they need the power of multiple AI leaders working together, to deliver faster, better outcomes.

With OpenAI, the ServiceNow AI Platform will leverage frontier intelligence like GPT‑5.2 so customers can understand more about what’s happening and take action inside enterprise workflows.Powering actionable AI workflows for enterprise customers
ServiceNow and OpenAI will support enterprises in adopting AI systems that can reason across tasks and carry out work with little human intervention. Customers can leverage OpenAI models alongside with ServiceNow workflows:
- AI assistance
that lets employees ask questions in natural language and get clear, actionable answers based on real enterprise data. - AI-powered summarization and content generation
for incidents, cases, knowledge articles, and service interactions, helping teams resolve issues faster with less manual effort. - Developer and admin tools
that turn intent into workflows, logic, and automation, dramatically speeding how business processes are built and updated. - Intelligent search and discovery
that pulls the right information from across enterprise systems exactly when it’s needed.
For example, employees use ServiceNow in an intuitive experience where data, models, AI modalities, and workflows converge to ask for what they need in plain language, like “I need to view my benefits” or “this customer issue needs to be escalated.”
Original source Report a problem
With GPT‑5.2 built directly into the ServiceNow AI Platform, those requests aren’t just answered—they’re acted on. The model pairs with the ServiceNow workflow engine, where it can access enterprise data, respect governance and permissions, and provide insights to trigger real actions. GPT‑5.2 helps add more context, decide what should happen next, and, via the ServiceNow platform, move work through approvals, and updates until it’s done. To employees it feels like chatting with a smart coworker; behind the scenes, it’s AI running real enterprise workflows end to end.
Looking ahead, ServiceNow and OpenAI will build toward more natural, multimodal experiences, where users can talk, type, or use visuals to interact with AI agents seamlessly.
ServiceNow extends OpenAI’s work with the world’s largest and most established enterprises, including Accenture, Walmart (opens in a new window), PayPal (opens in a new window), Intuit, Target, Thermo Fisher (opens in a new window), BNY, Morgan Stanley, BBVA, and many more.
More than 1 million business customers around the world are directly using OpenAI—the fastest-growing business platform in history. - Jan 16, 2026

Our approach to advertising and expanding access to ChatGPT
ChatGPT expands access with Go, bringing free tier and Go subscription to the U.S. offering messaging, image creation, file uploads and memory for $8/month. Ads testing is planned with strong privacy controls and ad-free options, signaling broader monetization while preserving trust.
AI ads and Go launch
AI is reaching a point where everyone can have a personal super-assistant that helps them learn and do almost anything. Who gets access to that level of intelligence will shape whether AI expands opportunity or reinforces the same divides.
We’ve been working to make powerful AI accessible to everyone through our free product and low-cost subscription tier, ChatGPT Go, which has launched in 171 countries since August. Today we’re bringing Go to the U.S. and everywhere ChatGPT is available, giving people expanded access to messaging, image creation, file uploads and memory for $8 USD/month. In the coming weeks, we’re also planning to start testing ads in the U.S. for the free and Go tiers, so more people can benefit from our tools with fewer usage limits or without having to pay. Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscriptions will not include ads.
People trust ChatGPT for many important and personal tasks, so as we introduce ads, it’s crucial we preserve what makes ChatGPT valuable in the first place. That means you need to trust that ChatGPT’s responses are driven by what’s objectively useful, never by advertising. You need to know that your data and conversations are protected and never sold to advertisers. And we need to keep a high bar and give you control over your experience so you see truly relevant, high-quality ads—and can turn off personalization if you want.
Given that, we want to be clear about the principles that guide our approach to advertising:
Our ads principles
- Mission alignment: Our mission is to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity; our pursuit of advertising is always in support of that mission and making AI more accessible.
- Answer independence: Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you. Answers are optimized based on what's most helpful to you. Ads are always separate and clearly labeled.
- Conversation privacy: We keep your conversations with ChatGPT private from advertisers, and we never sell your data to advertisers.
- Choice and control: You control how your data is used. You can turn off personalization, and you can clear the data used for ads at any time. We’ll always offer a way to not see ads in ChatGPT, including a paid tier that’s ad-free.
- Long-term value: We do not optimize for time spent in ChatGPT. We prioritize user trust and user experience over revenue.
We’re not launching ads yet, but we do plan to start testing in the coming weeks for logged in adults in the U.S. on the free and Go tiers. To start, we plan to test ads at the bottom of answers in ChatGPT when there’s a relevant sponsored product or service based on your current conversation. Ads will be clearly labeled and separated from the organic answer. You’ll be able to learn more about why you’re seeing that ad, or dismiss any ad and tell us why. During our test, we will not show ads in accounts where the user tells us or we predict that they are under 18, and ads are not eligible to appear near sensitive or regulated topics like health, mental health or politics.
Here’s an example of what the first ad formats we plan to test could look like:
The best ads are useful, entertaining, and help people discover new products and services. Given what AI can do, we're excited to develop new experiences over time that people find more helpful and relevant than any other ads. Conversational interfaces create possibilities for people to go beyond static messages and links. For example, soon you might see an ad and be able to directly ask the questions you need to make a purchase decision.
Ads also can be transformative for small businesses and emerging brands trying to compete. AI tools level the playing field even further, allowing anyone to create high-quality experiences that help people discover options they might never have found otherwise.
We’ll learn from feedback and refine how ads show up over time, but our commitment to putting users first and maintaining trust won’t change. By starting our ad platform from the ground up with these principles in place, we can align our incentives with what people want from ChatGPT. Our long-term focus remains on building products that millions of people and businesses find valuable enough to pay for. Our enterprise and subscription businesses are already strong, and we believe in having a diverse revenue model where ads can play a part in making intelligence more accessible to everyone.
Once we begin testing our first ad formats in the coming weeks and months, we look forward to getting people's feedback and ensuring that ads can support broad access to AI and keep the trust that makes ChatGPT valuable.

Introducing ChatGPT Go, now available worldwide
ChatGPT Go goes global with an $8/month US price, delivering 10x more messages, uploads and image creation plus longer memory on GPT‑5.2 Instant. The plan sits alongside Plus and Pro as a worldwide rollout, expanding access and capabilities for everyday users.
In August 2025, we introduced ChatGPT Go in India as a low-cost subscription designed to expand access to ChatGPT’s most popular features and help more people use advanced AI in their daily life. Since then, ChatGPT Go has rolled out to 170 additional countries, making it our fastest growing plan and among the most affordable AI subscription globally.
In markets where Go has been available, we’ve seen strong adoption and regular everyday use for tasks like writing, learning, image creation, and problem-solving. This early momentum helped inform our decision to make ChatGPT Go available globally.
Starting today, ChatGPT Go is rolling out everywhere ChatGPT is available. In the US, Go is available for $8 per month.
With this launch, ChatGPT now offers three subscription tiers globally:
- ChatGPT Go at $8 USD/month*
- ChatGPT Plus at $20 USD/month
- ChatGPT Pro at $200 USD/month
*US price displayed. Go pricing is localized in some markets.
What you get with ChatGPT Go
ChatGPT Go is designed for people who want expanded access to our latest model, GPT‑5.2 Instant, at a lower price point—more messages, more uploads, and more image creation. With ChatGPT Go, you get:
- 10x more messages, file uploads and image creation than the free tier, so you can keep chatting with no limits on GPT‑5.2 Instant.
- Longer memory and context window, so ChatGPT can remember more helpful details about you over time.
This now sits alongside our two existing consumer subscription plans: ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro.
ChatGPT Plus is designed for work that requires deeper reasoning—like writing and editing documents, learning and research, or data analysis. It offers expanded access to our most advanced models, including GPT‑5.2 Thinking, along with the flexibility to choose legacy models and use our coding agent, Codex. Compared to Go, Plus includes higher limits for messages, file uploads, memory, and context, so ChatGPT can remember more detail from past conversations and support longer, more continuous workflows.
ChatGPT Pro is built for AI power users pushing the limits of advanced intelligence. It offers full access to our most powerful model, GPT‑5.2 Pro, along with maximum memory and context, and early previews of our newest features.
Supporting accessibility with ads
We plan to begin testing ads in the free tier and ChatGPT Go in the US soon. Ads support our commitment to making AI accessible to everyone by helping us keep ChatGPT available at free and affordable price points.
ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise will remain ad-free.
