Full Summary

This Wednesday morning, OpenAI is rolling out significant updates to ChatGPT, with a major focus on automating web tasks and enhancing creative expression. Both Neowin and digit.in confirm ChatGPT Work can now log into websites and complete tasks for users. OpenAI emphasizes that ChatGPT never sees or stores your login credentials; instead, you enter them into a secure form that goes directly to a remote browser. This allows ChatGPT to handle tasks like booking appointments, setting up utilities, or checking insurance details, even performing actions like making payments after seeking user confirmation. This feature is rolling out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Business users on both web and mobile. Simultaneously, ChatGPT is expanding its creative capabilities. Gizbot and News18 report that ChatGPT can now create custom sticker packs for WhatsApp and iMessage. Mobile users globally can generate personalized sticker packs from their ideas, photos, or even inside jokes. Users describe the desired stickers, and ChatGPT generates a collection, allowing up to nine stickers per pack and offering 18 visual styles, including Holographic and Anime. For workspace management, Techgenyz highlights a new Admin plugin for ChatGPT and Codex. This plugin allows administrators to analyze activity, manage users and permissions, and review spending requests directly through conversational prompts. These developments mean ChatGPT can now manage more of your online chores, from scheduling appointments to creating custom digital content, potentially freeing up your time while demanding careful attention to privacy and security settings.
