ChatGPT Work: OpenAI's New AI Agent for Complex Tasks

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, an agent designed to handle more complex tasks. This new feature can gather information across a user's apps and workflows to create finished materials like sheets, slides, and web apps. What's interesting is that ChatGPT Work can stay with complex projects for hours, breaking them into smaller steps and completing them independently. This is powered by the latest frontier model, GPT-5.6, which rolled out this month. GPT-5.6 makes ChatGPT state-of-the-art at reasoning through multi-step tasks. ChatGPT Work can turn customer research into a campaign brief, create marketing assets, and adapt them for different markets. It can even keep projects moving with Scheduled Tasks when users are away. On web and mobile, ChatGPT Work is now available for Pro, Enterprise, and Edu plans, with Plus and Business plans coming soon. The ChatGPT desktop app will offer Chat, Work, and Codex on every plan, including Free, and is globally available for download on Windows and Mac. To use it, connect your tools and context using plugins for apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams. This allows ChatGPT to pull information from relevant sources, create documents, and refine drafts in the background. This development could significantly change how users approach multi-step projects and workflows.
