AI agent products launch, change pricing, rename and retire faster than most governance and procurement records are updated, so teams approve tools that have already changed shape. This tracker lists dated launch, availability, pricing and retirement events for AI agent products and agent platforms that we could confirm on the provider's own announcement, release notes, help or documentation page. It covers consumer agents, browser agents, agent-building platforms and developer agent tooling; AI coding tools are tracked in AI Coding Agents Compared. It is written for platform owners, AI governance teams and security reviewers who need a sourced record rather than a news summary. Providers are listed alphabetically within each date; order is never a ranking. Last checked: 2026-11-15.
This is an independent reference page from NHI Mgmt Group based on public provider documentation; it is not sponsored or endorsed by any provider.
Key takeaways
- Agent products retire as well as launch. OpenAI's help centre states ChatGPT Atlas is scheduled to stop working on 9 August 2026, and AWS states Amazon Q Developer IDE plugins and paid subscriptions reach end of support on 30 April 2027.
- Rollouts are staged by plan and region. ChatGPT agent reached Pro users first, then Plus and Team, then Enterprise and Education; Gemini Spark was announced for Google AI Pro subscribers in Australia over several weeks.
- Agent platforms ship identity and connectivity features as GA releases. Google's Gemini Enterprise release notes list A2A agent registration (17 August 2026), VPC connectivity for custom MCP data stores (27 October 2026) and 3-legged OAuth with the Agent Identity auth manager (13 November 2026).
- Billing units change. Microsoft Copilot Studio moved from messages to Copilot Credits on 1 September 2025; Gemini Enterprise added a Pay-as-you-go edition on 1 August 2026.
- Coverage spans six providers in 2026. The 2026 table holds 25 dated events: Google 8, OpenAI 7, Anthropic 5, Amazon (AWS) 2, xAI 2 and Microsoft 1, each linked to the provider's own page.
- Tool versions matter as much as product names. Anthropic's API documentation lists computer_toolset_20260801 as the current computer use tool, with earlier versions still in beta behind headers.

2026 agent product events by date
As of 2026-11-15, newest first. Coverage reflects what each provider publishes as dated release notes for agent products: rows come from dated release notes, changelogs and announcements published by each provider. Row counts reflect how each provider dates its agent product changes and which of those changes we selected, and are not a measure of product activity or quality.

What to watch next
- Amazon Q Developer end of support: 30 April 2027 for IDE plugins and paid subscriptions; plan migration of identities, tokens and IDE configurations before then.
- Atlas replacement surfaces: the ChatGPT desktop app and Chrome extension or sidebar now carry browser agent work; confirm which surface staff use and which admin controls apply.
- Agent identity features on platforms: delegated OAuth for agents, agent registration and MCP connectivity are shipping as GA features; check each against your own agent authorisation model before enabling.
- Computer use tool migrations: Anthropic's docs list changes needed to move from computer_20251124 to computer_toolset_20260801 and note models that no longer accept the older version.
- Open-source agent release channels: OpenClaw publishes stable, beta and extended-stable releases; pin the channel you approve. See the Self-Hosted Personal AI Agent Security Guide.
How to use this tracker
- Match rows to your inventory. For each agent product in use, find its latest row and confirm the plan and region you use are covered by the stated rollout.
- Treat retirements as identity work. A retiring agent product leaves OAuth grants, API keys, browser sessions and connector tokens behind. Revoke them on the stop date, not after. See the AI Model Retirement Guide.
- Re-review on GA of identity or connectivity features. New OAuth, MCP or agent registration features change what an agent can reach; route them through change approval.
- Record the source and date. Each row links the provider page used; keep the date you relied on in your own records, because provider pages change.
- Use the companion pages for depth. Model releases are in the LLM Release Tracker; browser agent risks are in Computer-Use and Browser Agents; consumer agents are in Personal AI Agents; provider data terms are in LLM Data Retention and Training-Use Policies by Provider.
Practitioner checklist
- Keep an inventory of agent products by provider, plan, region and version or release channel.
- Subscribe to each provider's release notes or changelog for the agent products you approve.
- Diary every announced stop or end-of-support date and assign an owner for migration.
- On retirement, revoke the product's OAuth grants, API keys and connector tokens and remove its browser extensions.
- Route GA releases of agent identity, OAuth and MCP features through change approval before enabling.
- Check billing unit changes (credits, pay-as-you-go editions) against budget alerts.
- Pin approved versions of open-source agents and tool versions in API integrations.
