OpenAI has rolled out Lockdown Mode to eligible personal accounts and self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Lockdown Mode limits outbound network requests to prevent data exfiltration from prompt injection attacks. It does not prevent prompt injections from appearing in processed content. Lockdown Mode targets the exfiltration vectors to steal data, a key leg of the Lethal Trifecta. This mode uses deterministic mechanisms not evaluated by AI systems.

OpenAI has added email sending directly from ChatGPT on the web. Users can draft, tweak, and send emails within writing blocks without leaving the chat interface. Writing blocks were introduced late last year and now support inline edits and suggestions. ChatGPT for Excel and Google Sheets is no longer in beta and is available globally.
