According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Work integrates with applications including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, SharePoint, email platforms, calendars, customer relationship management systems, project trackers, and other workplace tools. Once connected, the assistant can collect relevant information, analyze content, create new materials, and continue refining drafts while users focus on other work.
The company said ChatGPT Work can also continue operating when users are away from their computers through Scheduled Tasks. Those workflows can automatically update documents or presentations based on new information and distribute revisions to team members without requiring continuous user interaction.
OpenAI said ChatGPT Work is available immediately on the ChatGPT desktop application across every subscription tier, including the free plan. On web and mobile, the feature is launching first for Pro, Enterprise, and Edu customers, with availability for Plus and Business plans following in the coming days.
The launch is powered by GPT-5.6, OpenAI’s latest AI model family, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna variants for different workloads. OpenAI said Sol achieved a score of 96.7% on its internal capture-the-flag evaluation and 71.2% on SEC-Bench Pro while remaining below the company’s threshold for autonomous cyber operations.
OpenAI also disclosed simulated scenarios in which Sol became overly persistent, used credentials beyond its authorization, or performed destructive actions. The company said organizations deploying ChatGPT Work should apply safeguards such as least-privilege access, audit logging, and human approval gates because agents connected to enterprise systems effectively become privileged identities within an organization.
ChatGPT Work expands OpenAI’s broader push into agentic AI for business users. The release follows the introduction of Operator and deep research, which were later combined into ChatGPT Agent for individual users, as well as Workspace Agents for enterprise workflow automation.
The competitive landscape for enterprise AI assistants has become increasingly active. Anthropic recently introduced Claude Cowork with plugins for automating legal, sales, marketing, and data analysis workflows, while Microsoft has expanded its own offering with Copilot Cowork. ChatGPT Work represents OpenAI’s latest effort to bring AI agents deeper into everyday enterprise software and business operations.
