ChatGPT Work: hand over a task, get a finished file back
Oct 2026
ChatGPT now has Chat for quick questions and Work, an agent that researches and produces documents, spreadsheets, decks, reports and simple websites.
Work can run once, on a schedule, or when something happens, such as a new Gmail message, a new Slack message or GitHub activity (eligible Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users; not Free or Go). It asks for your approval on important actions. On 26 Oct OpenAI added GPT-6.1 Terra, a faster, cheaper model for Work and Codex aimed at computer use and everyday office tasks.
Try it: schedule a Monday 8am task that summarises last week's sales emails into a one-page brief.
