OpenAI wants its new tool to do your work for you and with you
Summary

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work, an agentic tool designed for hours-long, complex tasks like budget analysis or campaign creation, integrating with Slack, Google Drive, and desktop files. It replaces the Atlas browser and merges with Codex, using a new GPT-5.6 model with tiered pricing up to $100/month and credit-based usage limits. Scheduled Tasks enable cron-like automation, while enterprise controls and a Compliance API manage external access.
