Unpacking ChatGPT Work: the Agent for a Billion Users

ChatGPT Work was launched by OpenAI on July 9, 2026 as an agent‑oriented knowledge‑work platform that combines chat, Codex tools and cloud agents across fourteen model configurations. Within three weeks it surpassed ten million users, and the product team projects one‑billion monthly active users (and weekly users) later in 2026, with plans to merge Work’s mode with standard ChatGPT by year‑end. The app integrates memory, proactivity, scheduling, browser use, plugins, skills, and tools into a single interface for both desktop and mobile, effectively acting as the first mainstream “agent” experience for an anticipated billion weekly users.
