ChatGPT is reportedly moving away from chatbots to agents that perform tasks.
OpenAI is overhauling ChatGPT into a ‘superapp’, as it looks to win business customers and better compete with Anthropic ahead of its plans to go public later this year.
News of a ‘superapp’ – a desktop app that combines the AI chatbot alongside the company’s coding tool Codex, and Atlas, an AI-powered web browser launched last October – first surfaced in April this year.
Reports, at the time, suggested that the new app, reportedly representing the biggest ChatGPT overhaul since launch, will be led by head of applications Fidji Simo and company president Greg Brockman.
The Financial Times reported that the new app will strongly feature Codex, a move that reflects shifting interests from AI chatbots to agents that perform tasks for users. As one senior OpenAI employee told the publication: “Chat is dead”.
