Summary
More than 10 million active users now use ChatGPT Work and Codex, signaling a shift from asking AI questions to delegating recurring office tasks.
ChatGPT Work targets the "work around the actual work"—email triage, status gathering, spreadsheet cleanup, meeting prep and follow-ups—by pulling from connected apps and files to draft briefings, presentations, spreadsheets or websites.
Five starter use cases highlighted by OpenAI include planning a day from emails and calendars, compiling weekly updates, cleaning messy spreadsheets, catching up after time away and preparing meeting briefings with cited sources.
Approval controls remain central: users choose which tools and information ChatGPT Work can access, and the prompts stress that no actions should be taken without user approval.
OpenAI frames the product as a way to offload repetitive preparation so workers can focus on decisions requiring human judgment.
