After its plans to create a super app emerged in March this year, OpenAI has made good on those plans. ChatGPT Work is now what the company hopes you’ll use for all your web browsing, coding, and slop generation.
The app is powered by OpenAI’s new GPT-5.6 model, which it debuted yesterday and is supposed to be its “smartest model series for professional work”. It’s the same model that the US government made OpenAI delay releasing over national security fears.
“ChatGPT Work brings together context from your team’s tools to turn scattered notes, drafts, and ideas into finished work — and keeps projects moving while you stay in control.”
Putting ChatGPT to work, again
ChatGPT Work is available to all plans (including the free plan) on Windows and Max for now, but the company said it will expand access for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users to web and mobile platforms “over the next few days”.
The new GPT-5.6 model comes in three flavours: Sol, Terra, and Luna. Sol, the flagship model, supposedly “sets a new standard for both intelligence and efficiency”, while Terra is described as “a balanced model for everyday work”, and Luna is its “most cost-efficient model”.
The dedicated desktop app is also supposed to make it easier for you to give ChatGPT access to pretty much anything you want via plugins. Windows Computer Use, for example, “lets ChatGPT use any app on your computer, including your web browsers and files you allow it to access. It may take screenshots or page content while working. You stay in control: you choose which apps to allow ChatGPT to access, you can stop actions at any time, and control whether we use screenshots for training.” Nothing bad will ever come from that. /s
The integrations don’t stop there; if there’s an app or service you use in your daily workflow, chances are high that ChatGPT Work will welcome the integration. Other use cases include analysing business drivers, synthesising project context, or packaging insights for stakeholders. All fun stuff, we’re sure.
