OpenAI launches ChatGPT Sites
ChatGPT Sites is an OpenAI feature (documented on openai.com) that lets teams create, review, deploy, and share lightweight internal websites or web apps using Codex in the Codex desktop app. The workflow described: tell Codex what you need, review the generated site, request changes, and deploy a URL that workspace members can open. ChatGPT Sites provides hosting, access controls, storage, and database support; Enterprise workspace admins control availability. Sites cannot currently connect directly to live data, so OpenAI recommends using separate automations to gather scheduled updates and refresh a site. The documentation positions Sites for focused internal use cases — launch trackers, dashboards, calculators, onboarding pages — and provides step-by-step guidance for building, reviewing, changing, deploying, and sharing sites within a workspace.
OpenAI added a workspace feature that simplifies building internal web tools; useful for team productivity and may change internal workflows, but it is a narrower product feature with limited immediate, direct impact on the broader AdTech/MarTech ecosystem.

OpenAI Codex Adds Sites and Role-Specific Plugins
On June 2, 2026 OpenAI updated Codex with finance-focused plugins that can turn the coding agent into an on‑demand public‑equity analyst and investment banker. The release is part of a broader Codex expansion that includes a Plugins ecosystem and feature set (Sites, Annotations, role‑specific plugins) previously described by OpenAI; Codex is reported to have scaled rapidly (millions of weekly users) and some extended functionality is gated behind paid ChatGPT tiers and enterprise plans. The Substack piece also notes Anthropic has confidentially filed for an IPO, framing the Codex finance push as a strategic move in the AI‑for‑finance race and arguing it could reorder which firms capture value from agentic financial workflows.
OpenAI launches ChatGPT Work powered by GPT-5.6
OpenAI announced ChatGPT Work, an agentic workflow capability inside ChatGPT that can gather context across connected apps, break multi-step projects into sub-tasks, and create finished materials like slides, sheets, docs and web apps. ChatGPT Work is powered by OpenAI’s latest model, GPT‑5.6, and includes features such as Scheduled Tasks, a unified plugins directory, a Sites beta for interactive web apps, and a desktop app with a built-in browser and Computer Use to operate local apps. The Codex app is merging into the new ChatGPT desktop app. OpenAI says enterprise governance controls, a Compliance API and an auto-review layer support security and oversight. The rollout begins for Pro, Enterprise and Edu users with broader availability to other paid tiers and cross-platform desktop downloads available globally.
OpenAI launches ChatGPT Work agent
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.
