ChatGPT Work: OpenAI's AI Turns Employees Into Coders

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, a new feature designed to turn white-collar employees into coders without requiring them to write any code. This new agentic mode within ChatGPT allows professionals to set broad objectives and receive finished deliverables like documents, spreadsheets, and even full web applications. Here's the thing: ChatGPT Work is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 model family, specifically its Sol variant, and combines ChatGPT with the company’s Codex coding agent. Users can describe their needs in plain language, and the system then handles the technical work, pulling context from connected applications like Slack, Microsoft 365, and Google Drive. What's interesting is that it's available to Pro, Business, and Enterprise tier subscribers and uses a credit-based system. There's also an "ultra" mode for demanding assignments, coordinating multiple AI agents. OpenAI's benchmarks suggest GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new standard for coding agents and knowledge work efficiency. The bottom line: This integration aims to collapse conversation, coding, and enterprise workflows into a single interface, potentially changing how many professionals approach their daily tasks.
