ChatGPT is now a partner for your most ambitious 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.

ChatGPT Work is designed to keep tasks moving forward wherever you are. You can ask it to start a task from your phone, review a draft on the go, or check the status of a longer-running workflow between meetings. When you return to your desk, you can pick up the same work on the web.

ChatGPT Work is powerful out of the box for all kinds of work: it can support complex workflows using the apps, files, and tools each team chooses to connect. Below are real use cases we’ve seen across teams:

If you already use the Codex app, you can update it as usual and it will become the new ChatGPT desktop app. Developers can make Codex the default view when they open the desktop app and choose the Codex logo as the app icon. Desktop Codex projects remain accessible on the go through the ChatGPT mobile app. The existing version of the ChatGPT desktop app will be renamed ChatGPT Classic.

Starting today, the Codex app is merging with the new ChatGPT desktop app. Codex remains the same powerful coding agent for developers and technical professionals, now with new capabilities ⁠ (opens in a new window) across core workflows, including inline editing within diffs, pull request review in the side panel, faster computer use (powered by GPT‑5.6), and support for multiple repositories in a single project.

Your organization remains in control even as ChatGPT takes on more substantive work for your teams. ChatGPT is built on the security, privacy, compliance, and workspace management foundation of ChatGPT Enterprise . Enterprise and Edu admins can centrally manage who has access, what company context ChatGPT can use, which tools it can connect to, and what actions it can take. The Compliance API ⁠ (opens in a new window) provides visibility into ChatGPT Work conversations and actions at scale to support enterprise oversight.

ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu admins can also set spend controls ⁠ (opens in a new window) in the Admin Console ⁠ (opens in a new window) to manage ChatGPT Work usage as adoption grows. Admins can support high-impact work across teams without raising limits broadly by setting workspace-level defaults, configuring group limits, creating individual overrides for people who need more capacity, and reviewing requests for additional credits with user-submitted project details and rationale.

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.
