OpenAI AI Updates: July 24, 2026

1. OpenAI Launches Health in ChatGPT

OpenAI. OpenAI introduced Health in ChatGPT, letting U.S. users securely connect their medical records and Apple Health data to receive personalized insights inside ChatGPT. The feature ties consumer health data into the assistant so responses can reference an individual’s own records rather than general information. It extends ChatGPT into a regulated, privacy-sensitive domain and signals OpenAI’s push toward personalized, data-connected use cases. Source

2. Codex Adds ChatGPT Voice and Multi-Folder Projects

OpenAI. OpenAI shipped a Codex update that adds ChatGPT Voice, powered by GPT-Live, so users can talk through work and coordinate tasks across Chat, Work, and Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app, with screen context sharing on macOS and availability on Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans. Local projects can now span multiple related folders, with a designated primary folder for new chats and Git operations. The changes give developers a hands-free way to drive Codex and better support multi-repository workflows. Source
