ChatGPT Work is an agent that can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours if needed, and turn a goal into finished work. Introducing ChatGPT Work, an agent in ChatGPT that helps you take on more ambitious tasks. It can gather information across your apps and workflows to create finished materials like sheets, slides, docs, and web apps, and stay with complex projects for hours by breaking them into smaller steps and completing them independently. With Codex technology built-in, ChatGPT can now move beyond answering questions to getting real work done across web, mobile, and desktop. More than 5 million people use Codex every week. Although it began as a coding agent for developers, more than 1 million people now use it for work outside software development, showing how its capabilities can support a wider range of tasks. To better manage these tasks, ChatGPT Work is powered by our latest frontier model, GPT‑5.6, which is also rolling out today⁠. GPT‑5.6 makes ChatGPT state of the art at reasoning through multi-step tasks and creating materials that follow your templates and reference files. The best way to learn how to use ChatGPT Work is to give it a task you already know well: analyze a month-end budget variance, turn source materials into a marketing campaign brief, or prepare for a sales meeting. You can follow its progress, answer questions, change direction, and approve important actions. You can even ask ChatGPT Work to take on entire workflows with a single request. For example, it can turn customer research into a campaign brief, use that brief to create marketing assets, and adapt those assets for different markets while carrying context through every step. Even when you’re away from your computer or phone, ChatGPT Work can keep projects moving forward with Scheduled Tasks. For example, it can independently turn new messages from Microsoft Teams and Slack into updated docs or slides, then share important changes with your team. Nearly 100% of teams inside OpenAI, including finance and sales, now use ChatGPT Work and Codex to move faster, take on harder tasks, and spend more time with customers.
