OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Work, a new agent inside ChatGPT designed to handle longer and more complex workplace tasks across apps, files, and workflows.

The company said ChatGPT Work can gather information from connected tools and turn it into finished materials such as spreadsheets, slide decks, documents, web apps, dashboards, campaign briefs, and project trackers.

Unlike a normal chat request, the agent is built to stay with complex projects for hours by breaking them into smaller steps and completing parts of the work independently.

The launch pushes ChatGPT further beyond question answering and into execution. OpenAI said ChatGPT Work uses Codex technology, the same agentic system that began as a coding tool for developers.

More than 5 million people use Codex every week, and more than 1 million now use it for non software work, according to the company.
