Suits people handing ChatGPT longer jobs like decks and spreadsheets; Free users get only a limited taste in the desktop app.

Kenning's take

What it does

ChatGPT Work is an agent built into ChatGPT, using Codex technology, that can gather information across connected apps and files and turn a goal into finished slides, spreadsheets, documents or web apps. It can stay on a project for hours and run scheduled tasks. It replaced the earlier ChatGPT agent and sits next to Chat and Codex in the ChatGPT apps.

  • Creates slides, sheets, docs and Sites from apps and files
  • Breaks long projects into steps and runs them
  • Scheduled tasks that keep work moving
  • Asks for approval on important actions
  • Uses OpenAI's newest Work and Codex models

Who it suits. People who want ChatGPT to carry out longer work tasks rather than answer single questions.
