OpenAI Unveils 20+ DevDay Features, Opening ChatGPT to 1.2B Weekly Users

3 articles · Updated · OpenAI · Sep 29

Summary

  • More than 20 announcements anchored OpenAI’s DevDay 2026, led by new agents that can handle ongoing responsibilities and broader tools for human-AI collaboration.
  • ChatGPT was expanded into a shared surface where people and agents can work together, while developers can launch native experiences directly to its 1.2 billion weekly users.
  • The push extends across ChatGPT, Codex and OpenAI’s models, framing the event as the company’s biggest DevDay yet and a broader platform opening rather than a single product release.
  • Earlier in the day, OpenAI also launched GPT-6 Astra-powered “Dots” assistants for Pro and Business Premium users, signaling how the new agent strategy is moving from keynote to rollout.
