ChatGPT is now a partner for your most ambitious work

ChatGPT is now a partner for your most ambitious work ChatGPT Work is an agent that can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours if needed, and turn a goal into finished work. Introducing ChatGPT Work, an agent in ChatGPT that helps you take on more ambitious tasks. It can gather information across your apps and workflows to create finished materials like sheets, slides, docs, and web apps, and stay with complex projects for hours by breaking them into smaller steps and completing them independently. With Codex technology built-in, ChatGPT can now move beyond answering questions to getting real work done across web, mobile, and desktop. More than 5 million people use Codex every week. Although it began as a coding agent for developers, more than 1 million people now use it for work outside software development, showing how its capabilities can support a wider range of tasks. To better manage these tasks, ChatGPT Work is powered by our latest frontier model, GPT‑5.6, which is also rolling out today. GPT‑5.6 makes ChatGPT state of the art at reasoning through multi-step tasks and creating materials that follow your templates and reference files. The best way to learn how to use ChatGPT Work is to give it a task you already know well: analyze a month-end budget variance, turn source materials into a marketing campaign brief, or prepare for a sales meeting. You can follow its progress, answer questions, change direction, and approve important actions. You can even ask ChatGPT Work to take on entire workflows with a single request. For example, it can turn customer research into a campaign brief, use that brief to create marketing assets, and adapt those assets for different markets while carrying context through every step. Even when you’re away from your computer or phone, ChatGPT Work can keep projects moving forward with Scheduled Tasks. For example, it can independently turn new messages from Microsoft Teams and Slack into updated docs or slides, then share important changes with your team. In early testing, we’ve seen how ChatGPT Work expands what users can do: Nearly 100% of teams inside OpenAI, including finance and sales, now use ChatGPT Work and Codex to move faster, take on harder tasks, and spend more time with customers. - In sales, ChatGPT Work turned a discovery conversation into a tailored proof of concept for a mission-critical problem within 24 hours—a process that normally takes weeks. ChatGPT structured the notes, routed the request to a solutions architect, and collaborated with the technical team, freeing the lead to focus on the customer and serve as a high-value consultative partner. - In finance, ChatGPT Work reduced month-end close and forecasting from days to hours by helping teams find source data, move it into Excel or Sheets, reconcile it, create slides, and verify the results. This lets the finance team spend more time understanding what changed in the forecast, explaining why it changed, and advising leaders on what the company should do next. On web and mobile, ChatGPT Work is rolling out today now for Pro, Enterprise, and Edu plans. It will roll out to Plus and Business plans over the next few days. In the ChatGPT desktop app, Chat, Work, and Codex are available on every plan, including Free, and is available globally to download on Windows and Mac.(opens in a new window) ChatGPT Work is designed to keep tasks moving forward wherever you are. You can ask it to start a task from your phone, review a draft on the go, or check the status of a longer-running workflow between meetings. When you return to your desk, you can pick up the same work on the web. For an even more powerful experience, the ChatGPT desktop app now goes further. On desktop, ChatGPT can use your local files and apps to get work done. For web-based work, ChatGPT’s new built-in browser lets it bring in websites, tools, and online files, giving you one place to move work forward. Starting today, the Codex app is merging with the new ChatGPT desktop app. Codex remains the same powerful coding agent for developers and technical professionals, now with new capabilities(opens in a new window) across core workflows, including inline editing within diffs, pull request review in the side panel, faster computer use (powered by GPT‑5.6), and support for multiple repositories in a single project. To get started with ChatGPT Work, connect the tools and context where your work already happens, using plugins. Plugins connect ChatGPT to apps and systems like Slack and Microsoft Teams, Google Drive and SharePoint, email, calendars, CRMs, project trackers, and other internal tools. ChatGPT will automatically know when to reference a plugin based on your prompt, but you can also direct ChatGPT to pull context from a specific app by typing “@” followed by the app name in your prompt. The new unified plugins directory brings plugins into one place, and ChatGPT can suggest relevant ones during your conversations. Once your apps and tools are connected, ChatGPT can understand what you’re trying to do, pull in information from relevant sources, create documents, decks, and analyses, and keep refining drafts in the background while you stay in control. We’re also introducing Sites in ChatGPT in public beta. With Sites, you can turn your work or ideas into an interactive site or web app and share it with your team or publicly through a URL. Sites are useful when you want to create things like live dashboards, project trackers, launch calendars, prototypes, internal portals, and interactive reports. You can test the Sites you build right inside ChatGPT and bring fresh web context into your project, too. ChatGPT can also update them as the underlying information changes. ChatGPT Work can help take repetitive tasks off your plate, freeing you up for more impactful work. Scheduled Tasks let you ask ChatGPT to perform an action once, repeat it on a schedule or when an event occurs, or monitor for changes over time. Scheduled Tasks can use your connected apps and browser to: - Review new Slack updates each week and refresh a recurring meeting agenda. - Check websites and dashboards each morning, summarize what changed, and send a report. - Monitor new customer feedback and turn recurring themes into prioritized product ideas. - Update a presentation when new feedback arrives by email. You remain in control of how ChatGPT works with you. You decide what it can access, when it should check in, and when it needs your approval before taking action. You can review progress and steer the work as priorities change. On desktop, ChatGPT now includes a built-in browser to help you gather information online, use web-based tools, and refine web-based work in one place. You can ask ChatGPT to research a market, compare sources, pull information from websites, or open and refine files from Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 inside the app. It can use the browser to bring in fresh context, take steps across web pages, and keep the work moving while you review and guide the result. On desktop, Computer Use lets ChatGPT use your computer on your behalf to execute tasks in the background across your apps, tools, and browser—clicking, typing, and moving files where they need to go. You can use it for a one-time task or as part of a Scheduled Task when recurring work includes steps on your computer. We are also updating our Chrome extension to make it possible to use ChatGPT directly in Chrome’s sidebar. These capabilities build on what we learned from Atlas and from the users who helped us understand how agentic tools can make browser-based work more useful. We’ll begin sunsetting the standalone Atlas browser, and will share information with users about how to transition to ChatGPT. ChatGPT Work is powerful out of the box for all kinds of work: it can support complex workflows using the apps, files, and tools each team chooses to connect. Below are real use cases we’ve seen across teams: Your organization remains in control even as ChatGPT takes on more substantive work for your teams. ChatGPT is built on the security, privacy, compliance, and workspace management foundation of ChatGPT Enterprise. Enterprise and Edu admins can centrally manage who has access, what company context ChatGPT can use, which tools it can connect to, and what actions it can take. The Compliance API(opens in a new window) provides visibility into ChatGPT Work conversations and actions at scale to support enterprise oversight. Controls are tailored to each environment. On web, admins can manage access to plugins and connected tools, configure browser use and network access for cloud environments, and restrict sensitive actions in connected systems. On desktop, ChatGPT Work builds on Codex’s enterprise governance model(opens in a new window) and admin controls(opens in a new window), bringing enterprise safeguards to work involving local files, apps, browsers, and tools—including policies for managing agent network access. Auto-review adds another layer of protection by using our most advanced models to review important actions involving connected tools and APIs before they happen, helping prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information. During adversarial red teaming, auto-review blocked 100% of attempts to extract protected data, including attacks the reviewing model had not seen during training. ChatGPT Work starts rolling out today on web and mobile, beginning with Pro, Enterprise, and Edu users and expanding to Plus and Business users over the next few days. The updated ChatGPT desktop app(opens in a new window) is available globally today for Mac and Windows, with Chat, Work, and Codex available to users on every plan, including Free. If you already use the Codex app, you can update it as usual and it will become the new ChatGPT desktop app. Developers can make Codex the default view when they open the desktop app and choose the Codex logo as the app icon. Desktop Codex projects remain accessible on the go through the ChatGPT mobile app. The existing version of the ChatGPT desktop app will be renamed ChatGPT Classic. ChatGPT Work is designed for longer, more involved work than a typical chat request, so usage works differently. Usage varies with the amount of work required, and more complex tasks may use more of your plan’s included usage. ChatGPT Work follows the same usage structure as Codex(opens in a new window). ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu admins can also set spend controls(opens in a new window) in the Admin Console(opens in a new window) to manage ChatGPT Work usage as adoption grows. Admins can support high-impact work across teams without raising limits broadly by setting workspace-level defaults, configuring group limits, creating individual overrides for people who need more capacity, and reviewing requests for additional credits with user-submitted project details and rationale. This is the first step towards a broader vision for ChatGPT—where intelligence goes beyond answering questions to helping everyone turn their biggest ideas into reality.
