ChatGPT Work: OpenAI's new AI agent for professionals

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, a new agent for its popular chatbot. This tool is designed to handle tasks across different applications and files, marking a significant move into workplace automation. Powered by GPT-5.6, ChatGPT Work can gather information from various sources to create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, reports, and even websites. This launch highlights the growing competition among technology companies to develop and sell AI tools for professional use. These tools aim to meet the increasing demand for autonomous agents that can perform complex tasks with minimal human involvement. This new offering follows months after OpenAI's competitor, Anthropic, introduced Claude Cowork, which can plan and execute multi-step tasks independently. OpenAI also announced a new ChatGPT desktop application and a feature for hosted websites, allowing users to build and share sites directly through Work. ChatGPT Work is rolling out on web and mobile and will expand over the coming days. This means businesses now have another powerful AI option to automate and streamline their operations.
