OpenAI launches ChatGPT Work agent

Zusammenfassung des Signals

OpenAI released ChatGPT Work on July 9, 2026 — an agent product for knowledge work that consolidates prior agent efforts (Codex, ChatGPT agents, OpenClaw) into a cloud-hosted workspace. Work runs on the Codex harness, uses an isolated cloud microVM and a managed Chrome browser service, integrates with plugins/connectors to services like Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, Notion and Figma, and can produce interactive artifacts (sheets, docs, slides, Sites). Work supports cloud and local desktop modes, scheduled/automated tasks, and per-task persistent working directories; three weeks after launch Work (and Codex) reportedly crossed 10 million users. OpenAI plans to merge Chat and Work modes into a single experience by the end of the year.
