  • Added support for MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect AI models to data.
  • Introduced "Omni," a feature that automatically selects the best model for a user's prompt.
  • Removed links to developer documentation, enterprise security features, and API pricing from the main view.
  • Added quick-start prompts for news, travel planning, and gift ideas.
