OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Work, an agentic feature within ChatGPT designed to execute complex, multi-step tasks across various applications and files. Powered by the newly released GPT-5.6 model, the agent can independently gather information, create materials like sheets and slides, and manage workflows over extended periods.
- ChatGPT Work utilizes GPT-5.6 to handle reasoning through multi-step tasks and generate content following user templates.
- The feature supports Scheduled Tasks that run in the background, such as monitoring Slack or Teams for updates and refreshing documents automatically.
- OpenAI reports that nearly 100% of internal teams use ChatGPT Work and Codex to accelerate processes like sales proof-of-concepts and finance month-end closes.
- The desktop app now merges with the Codex app, offering a built-in browser and computer use capabilities for executing tasks across local apps.
- Sites are introduced in public beta, allowing users to create interactive web apps or dashboards directly within ChatGPT.
This update aims to shift ChatGPT from a conversational tool to an active partner that completes ambitious work, freeing users to focus on high-value decision-making and customer interaction.
