Here's what shipped in July.
AI Presentations (Beta): your brand template, filled in for you
Beta feature. AI Presentations is in beta. Access is available on request and requires an extra usage plan. Reach out to us to enable it for your account or team.
Most AI deck tools hand you generic slides you then have to rebuild to match your brand. This one starts from your own company templates and fills them, so the output looks like your team made it.
It uses your real templates, and uses the same layout the templates have.
Point it at your existing branded slides and it reuses the same layouts, formatting, fonts, spacing, and structure, then populates them with new content for a new context. Because it edits the native PowerPoint underneath, the deck stays fully editable, not a flattened set of images.
It also checks its own work before delivery. Every deck goes through an automated visual pass that flags blank image spots, broken layouts, leftover placeholder text, and defects that survive across render attempts.
It holds the exact slide count you asked for and requires a verified export before calling the deck done.
Because it's compute-heavy, it runs under an extra usage plan during beta. Contact your account manager if you're interested in early access.
New AI models: GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 Thinking
July added the full GPT-5.6 family (Sol, Terra, and Luna) plus Grok 4.5 Thinking, a dedicated reasoning model. GPT-5.6 Luna is now the default for new tenants and agents, so most people start on a stronger baseline without touching a setting, with more options to match a model to the task.
Easier navigation in long chats
A handful of smaller changes make long sessions easier to follow: a prompt-jump rail to move between earlier questions, a response elapsed timer, and live token counts and activity signals on agent task cards so you can see work actually progressing.
Outlook actions inside chat
You can now move Outlook emails between folders and mark them read or unread straight from a conversation. It moves email work from just reading and drafting toward actual inbox triage through the assistant.
Knowledge bases now read code and notebooks
Knowledge bases now take Python files and Jupyter notebooks, with notebooks previewed as clean Markdown. If you work in data, engineering, or research, you can point the assistant at real analysis files, not just documents and PDFs.
