Identity
ChatGPT Work is an OS-level AI agent developed by OpenAI, released broadly on July 9, 2026 (model profile). The release followed a two-week "limited preview" period during which the underlying [[GPT-5.6]] model was restricted to government-approved organizations due to regulatory review; the public rollout was initiated after receiving a green light from the Trump administration (Signal + Noise wire item). It is designed to function as an "operating layer" for agentic systems rather than a traditional chat interface (Signal + Noise article).
What it is
ChatGPT Work is a desktop-native agent integrated into macOS and Windows environments (model profile). It is designed to gather context across various applications and files to automate research, analysis, and document creation (Signal + Noise wire item). Unlike previous iterations, it is built to handle long-horizon, multi-step business tasks by planning and acting across tools autonomously (Signal + Noise article).
Capabilities & benchmarks
