ChatGPT Work

ChatGPT Work is a general-purpose productivity agent inside ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI on July 9, 2026 and powered by the new GPT-5.6 model family. Instead of handing you a draft, it produces finished artifacts: spreadsheets, slide decks, documents, dashboards and small web apps. It runs scheduled and recurring tasks (which can be started from mobile), pulls context from connected apps via @-mentions of connectors, and includes a hosted "Sites" feature for live dashboards and interactive reports. It shipped alongside a new unified ChatGPT desktop app for macOS and Windows — free for all users globally — that merges Chat, ChatGPT Work and the Codex coding agent.

Pros & cons

ChatGPT Work pricing

ChatGPT Work is included with ChatGPT plans rather than priced as a separate product. The agent rollout started on Pro, Enterprise and Edu plans, with Plus and Business next; the unified desktop app for macOS and Windows is free for all users globally. On free and Go plans, the GPT-5.6 Terra tier is available only inside ChatGPT Work and Codex. AI pricing changes often, so confirm current plans on the provider's site.

Who should use ChatGPT Work?

ChatGPT Work is best suited for people who want to turn a prompt into finished sheets, slides, docs and dashboards instead of assembling them by hand. It earns its place by producing completed artifacts — including small web apps and hosted live dashboards — rather than drafts. The main trade-off: the agent rollout started on Pro, Enterprise and Edu plans, so Plus and Business users may still be waiting.
