OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Work, a new productivity tool designed to assist users in managing complex tasks efficiently. The announcement was made on October 2023, aiming to provide a solution for ongoing projects that require sustained attention and effort.
Features of ChatGPT Work
ChatGPT Work promises to stay engaged with projects for hours, transforming goals into completed tasks. Users are encouraged to test the tool by assigning familiar tasks, such as budgeting or sales meeting preparations. The tool is designed to automate entire workflows, covering everything from customer research to tailored marketing assets.
One of the standout features is the integration of Scheduled Tasks, which allows users to automate repetitive tasks based on a set schedule or triggered events. This functionality enables tasks to continue even when users are away from their desks, enhancing overall productivity.
Integration with Workplace Tools
ChatGPT Work seamlessly connects with popular workplace management tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, and SharePoint through custom-built plugins. The desktop version of the tool can access and modify files directly, allowing users to manage their work more efficiently.
OpenAI has also announced that an updated ChatGPT Chrome extension will facilitate web-native tasks without the need to switch browsers. This change comes as the dedicated Atlas web browser is being phased out, less than nine months after its launch.
Pricing and Usage Structure
ChatGPT Work will use a billing structure similar to the existing Codex app, with subscription plans reaching up to $100 per month. Users can expect usage limits based on a credit system, designed to manage costs associated with extended use of the tool.
The rollout coincides with the launch of the new GPT-5.6 model, which OpenAI claims offers improved performance for demanding tasks. Pricing for this model is tiered, with $5 for a million input tokens and $30 for a million output tokens.
