OpenAI held DevDay this week and changed the rules for its most expensive subscriptions. At the same time, a Belgian AI law firm announced it is starting in the Netherlands. What does that mean for you?
Pro 500 added, Pro 200 halved
OpenAI has a subscription at $500 per month: Pro 500. According to The Next Web, it gives you the most generous usage limit OpenAI offers to consumers, 25 times the Plus limit. It is also the only subscription with Ultrafast, a mode that generates up to 300 tokens per second in Codex, roughly eight times as fast as normal.
The existing Pro 200 subscription ($200 per month) is at the same time becoming less generous. In ChatGPT and Codex you will get 10 times the Plus limit instead of 20 times. The number of GPT-6 Pro messages falls from 200 to 100 per week. New subscribers get that lower limit straight away. If you already have Pro 200, you keep the old limit until and including 29 October 2026. You also receive a one-off $2,500 usage credit, which expires at the end of this year. WinBuzzer confirms these figures.
What you can do now: check your usage overview to see how much you actually needed last month. If you manage with half the limit, little changes. If you are well above it, first compare the alternatives and their prices at /modellen/ before moving to $500 per month.
ChatGPT in Slack and Teams, including for colleagues without a licence
A second DevDay announcement mainly affects teams. With @ChatGPT you can call ChatGPT in channels, threads and direct messages in Slack and Microsoft Teams. According to the Learnetto overview, this is available for Business, Enterprise and Edu, and colleagues without their own ChatGPT licence can also add context. There is also a Meetings plugin (beta, macOS) that takes meeting notes; the audio is deleted as soon as the notes are ready.
Handy, but mind the GDPR. What is posted in a channel can end up with ChatGPT, including from people who never chose the tool themselves. Agree which channels you use @ChatGPT in. And let participants know that a meeting is being noted by AI. You can read how OpenAI handles business data at /chatgpt/ and in our comparison at /veiligheid/.
Falcon: AI law firm with a fixed monthly price
Belgian firm Falcon, based in Ghent and Brussels, is entering the Dutch market. The firm focuses on commercial contracts: non-disclosure agreements, customer and supplier contracts, and data processing agreements. You submit a contract via Slack or Teams. AI reviews it, then a lawyer checks the result and approves it. According to Falcon, you get it back the same day. You pay a fixed monthly price instead of an hourly rate. Falcon raised €1.5 million in pre-seed funding to expand into the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom.
For businesses with many standard contracts, that is an interesting alternative. For lawyers and notaries it means competition on routine work, precisely the work AI tools already partly take over. A data processing agreement is still a GDPR document: for every provider, check where your contracts are processed and which model sits behind it.
In brief
- Do you use ChatGPT Pro 200 intensively? Before 29 October, check whether half the limit is enough.
- Turn on your @ChatGPT in Slack or Teams: make agreements about which channels and which data.
- Looking for help with standard contracts? Fixed prices with AI plus a lawyer are now coming to the Netherlands too. Compare legal tools at /voor/advocaten/.
