OpenAI's ChatGPT Work: New AI Agent Rivals Claude Cowork

OpenAI has launched a new AI agent called ChatGPT Work. This agent is designed to compete with Anthropic's Claude Cowork. ChatGPT Work is powered by the new GPT-5.6 model. It can perform tasks across different applications. OpenAI says it can break large tasks into smaller steps and work across web, desktop, and mobile platforms. The agent can also use local files and apps on desktop. It connects to tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, and email through plugins. ChatGPT Work can schedule recurring tasks, such as checking updates or monitoring customer feedback. The company states it can gather context from connected services and produce finished work, including documents and presentations. OpenAI will use a usage-based pricing model for ChatGPT Work. This development highlights the competition between OpenAI and Anthropic for enterprise users.
