Web search is now enabled by default

Codex now enables web search for local tasks in the Codex CLI and IDE Extension. By default, Codex uses a web search cache, which is an OpenAI-maintained index of web results. Cached mode returns pre-indexed results instead of fetching live pages, while live mode fetches the most recent data from the web. If you are using --yolo or another full access sandbox setting, web search defaults to live results. To disable this behavior or switch modes, use the web_search configuration option: web_search = "cached" (default; serves results from the web search cache). web_search = "live" (fetches the most recent data from the web; same as --search). web_search = "disabled" to remove the tool. To learn more, check out the configuration documentation.

Meet your new AI browsing assistant: Gemini in Chrome

What: We’re introducing major updates to Gemini in Chrome to help you get the most out of the web. Built on Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, this update brings a new side panel experience that lets you multitask, access deeper Google apps integration, and quickly edit images with Nano Banana—all without leaving your tab. We're also introducing a preview of auto browse to help you automate tasks while keeping you in control. This experience is available on Windows, MacOS, and Chromebook Plus in the U.S. Auto browse is currently rolling out in preview in the U.S. to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. These updates are not yet available to Google Workspace business and education plans. Why: Think of the new Gemini in Chrome as an assistant that helps you find information and get things done on the web easier than ever before. It cuts down on context switching, actively helping you do more right on your page.

Team Config for shared configuration

Team Config groups the files teams use to standardize Codex across repositories and machines. Use it to share: config.toml defaults. rules/ for command controls outside the sandbox. skills/ for reusable workflows. Codex loads these layers from.codex/ folders in the current working directory, parent folders, and the repo root, plus user (~/.codex/) and system (/etc/codex/) locations. Higher-precedence locations override lower-precedence ones. Admins can still enforce constraints with requirements.toml, which overrides defaults regardless of location. Learn more in Team Config.

Google · Gemini app·Jan 20, 2026Announcement

Gemini introduces Personal Intelligence

What: Starting today, you can now connect Gemini to your Google apps —including Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and Search—to unlock a more proactive and personalized experience. We built Personal Intelligence with privacy at the center. Connecting your apps is off by default: you choose to turn it on, decide exactly which apps to connect, and can turn it off anytime. This beta version of Personal Intelligence is rolling out to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. It works across Web, Android, and iOS. The experience is not yet available to Google Workspace business and education plans. Why: The best assistants don’t just know the world; they know you. By securely connecting to the apps you use every day, Gemini understands your personal context to provide uniquely tailored answers. You won’t have to start from scratch every time you ask for help; instead, it feels like you’re collaborating with a partner who is already up to speed.
