OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, a new AI agent that can complete multi-step workplace tasks across business apps and software. The announcement comes just weeks after Anthropic expanded its own workplace AI with Claude Cowork. Powered by OpenAI’s new GPT-5.6 flagship family of models, ChatGPT Work is designed to move beyond answering questions by connecting with workplace tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Google Drive, Salesforce and calendars.
