Unpacking ChatGPT Work: the Agent for a Billion Users
Latent Space Shlok Khemani ● Covered by 9 sources
OpenAI released ChatGPT Work, an agent product that connects to services like Slack, email, and Drive to complete knowledge work tasks, reaching 10 million users in three weeks. The agent runs on cloud computers with 8–14GB of RAM depending on subscription tier, maintaining persistent working directories and accessing context through ChatGPT's existing product layer rather than direct file system access. Work previews how OpenAI's billion weekly users will interact with agents as the company merges Work and Chat modes by year-end, shifting from reactive prompting to suggested and scheduled tasks.
