AI and Your Website: 6 News Items to Remember This Week
Animated images, video 30% cheaper, fake AI authors and your Google profile: the week's essentials for your business.
The DEVJPT newsletter is sent in French. Here is the English version of the November 10, 2026 issue.
Hello,
Every week, I sort through the news and keep what really changes something for you. Artificial intelligence first, then SEO and web visibility for small businesses, and of course what’s new in ChatJPT. Here’s what matters this week.
AI this week
OpenAI’s images start to move
OpenAI launched Images 2.6 in ChatGPT and in its API. You can now create looping animated GIFs, and generation is up to 50% faster. Two variants: Flare focuses on speed, Sunburst on detail and consistency from one edit to the next.
For you: a small animation for a social post or a newsletter, without editing software. It’s already in ChatJPT: in the Image panel, choose “Animated GIF” or “SVG”.

Google’s video costs 30% less
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is now available to everyone. It creates and edits videos of up to 15 seconds through conversation, with synchronized sound. You can make a low-resolution draft, then upscale it to 1080p or 4K.
For you: testing a video idea costs less. Make the draft first, and pay for high resolution only for the version you keep.

Gemini 4 Carbon: announced, but not for us yet
Google unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, its most powerful new model. Access is first reserved for cybersecurity specialists, with no date for the general public. Until then, Gemini 4 Argon remains the version open to everyone.
For you: nothing to change for now. I’ll let you know as soon as it opens up.

SEO and visibility for small businesses
Google cracks down on fake authors
Google updated its guide on helpful content. It now calls fabricated author profiles deceptive, for example an AI-generated photo, an invented name or fake credentials.
For you: if you publish texts written with AI, sign them with a real person on your team who reviewed them.

Your Google posts move up in your Business Profile
In the business profile Google displays, posts (updates, offers, events) now appear higher up. Google is also adding messaging buttons, such as WhatsApp.
For you: one post a week on your Google profile is now more visible. Also check that your contact options are up to date.

Your website will be able to opt out of AI training
Google, Microsoft and OpenAI announced they will respect a single line in the robots.txt file that refuses the use of your website to train their AI. It’s still a proposal: Microsoft is aiming for February 1, 2027, Google for early 2027.
For you: watch out for the downside. At Google, opting out of training also removes your website from Gemini’s answers. Before blocking, ask yourself whether you want to be cited by AI assistants.

AI content where every claim has a source
The real risk of AI content is invented claims about your business. Here’s how an evidence file keeps every sentence verifiable.
Have a great week,
