ChatGPT Work: OpenAI's AI Agent for Ambitious Tasks

ChatGPT Work is now available, designed to act as an agent across your apps and files. It can stay on a project for hours, transforming goals into finished work. This new tool helps you tackle more ambitious tasks. It gathers information from your apps and workflows to create materials like sheets, slides, docs, and web apps. It can also manage complex projects by breaking them into smaller steps and completing them autonomously. Here's the thing: ChatGPT now goes beyond answering questions, performing actual work on web, mobile, and desktop. This is thanks to built-in Codex technology, which is used by over 5 million people weekly. While it started as a coding agent, over 1 million people now use it for non-software development work. What's interesting is that ChatGPT Work is powered by the new GPT-5.6 model, also generally available today. This makes ChatGPT state-of-the-art in multi-step reasoning and creating materials that follow your templates and reference files. You can give ChatGPT Work familiar tasks like reviewing budget variances or preparing for sales meetings. You can track its progress, answer questions, and approve key actions. It can even handle entire workflows from a single request, like turning customer research into a campaign brief and then creating marketing assets. The bottom line: ChatGPT Work can keep projects moving with Scheduled Tasks, even when you're away from your devices. This could significantly change how many people approach their daily work.
