Agent update

ChatGPT Work, launched on 9 Jul 2026, is an agent in ChatGPT that can take a longer, multi-step job, use your apps and files, stay with a project for hours if needed, and return finished documents, spreadsheets, decks and sites.
How to use ChatGPT Work for small business
A bookkeeper could hand it a month-end budget variance, let it pull figures from connected files or sheets, and come back with a workbook and a short slide summary to review. A marketing coordinator could turn customer research into a campaign brief, then ask Work to adapt the assets for a second audience while keeping the same brief in mind. A practice manager could set a scheduled task that checks new Slack or Teams messages each week and refreshes a recurring meeting agenda, with approval still required for important actions.
On web and mobile, Work started with Pro, Enterprise and Edu, then rolled out to Plus and Business over the following days. The ChatGPT desktop app, with Chat, Work and Codex, is available globally on Mac and Windows for every plan, including Free. Work uses more of your plan's included usage on longer jobs, on the same usage structure as Codex. Sites, for interactive pages you can share by URL, launched in public beta.
Most useful for: Business Analyst – Write the findings, the options and a recommended next step for the decision-makers, Business Management Consultant – Write a findings report and recommended implementation plan, Executive Assistant – Prepare meeting packs, briefing notes and papers for the executive
