OpenAI launches ChatGPT Work, adding to competition for professional AI tools

July 9 (Reuters) - OpenAI ‌on Thursday ​unveiled ​ChatGPT Work, an agent in its popular chatbot designed to ‌execute tasks across different applications and files, ⁠marking the startup's latest push into workplace automation.

ChatGPT ‌Work, powered by GPT-5.6, ‌can gather context from apps, files and workflows to create finished documents, spreadsheets, ​presentations, reports and websites, the company said.

The launch reflects intensifying competition to ⁠build and sell AI tools for professional use, as technology ​companies seek to capitalize on rising demand for autonomous agents that can ​complete complex tasks with ‌minimal human input.

ChatGPT Work comes months after OpenAI rival Anthropic stepped ⁠up its enterprise push with Claude Cowork, an agent capable of planning and executing ⁠multi-step tasks autonomously.

OpenAI, which is preparing for its IPO, ​also announced a new ChatGPT desktop application and a hosted websites feature to let users build ‌and share websites directly through Work.

ChatGPT Work will roll out on ‌Thursday on web and mobile, and ⁠expand over the next ‌few days.
