How much does ChatGPT Work cost?

ChatGPT Work is included in existing ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, and Edu subscriptions from July 9, and rolls out to Plus and Business over the next few days at no extra charge. OpenAI has not announced separate ChatGPT Work pricing — the agent is billed as part of the ChatGPT plan you already use.

How does ChatGPT Work differ from the existing ChatGPT agent?

ChatGPT Work is a rebuild that bakes Codex directly into the agent, adds a built-in browser, adds a scheduling system that lets tasks run for hours, and adds a Sites beta for web apps. Where the previous agent focused on short web sessions, ChatGPT Work is designed to stay with one project across many steps.

Which apps does ChatGPT Work connect to?

ChatGPT Work reads and writes local files, controls a built-in browser, and connects to third-party apps such as Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, calendars, and CRMs through ChatGPT's connectors. Enterprise admins pick which connectors are on for their org; the agent uses only what admins have approved.

What is the Sites beta launched with ChatGPT Work?

Sites is a beta feature inside ChatGPT Work that turns a prompt into a live, interactive web app or dashboard — OpenAI cites 'tasteful, ergonomic, and functional interfaces with just high-level direction' as the goal. Sites uses the same GPT-5.6 Sol model that powers the agent.

ChatGPT Work — OpenAI's Codex-powered agent for hours-long projects

ChatGPT Work is a new OpenAI agent that connects to your apps and files, runs for hours on multi-step tasks, and returns finished spreadsheets, slides, docs, and web apps. It launched July 9 on Pro, Enterprise, and Edu, with Plus and Business coming in days.

What is it?

ChatGPT Work is an AI agent OpenAI launched on July 9 that treats a ChatGPT conversation as a persistent workspace. Instead of answering a question and stopping, ChatGPT Work gathers information across your apps and files, plans the steps, and returns finished materials — spreadsheets, slide decks, documents, and small web apps.

How does it work?

ChatGPT Work runs GPT-5.6 Sol as the reasoning core and has Codex built in, so it can write, run, and edit code as part of a task. A built-in browser gives the agent access to sites, and a scheduling layer lets a run continue for hours by breaking the goal into steps the agent completes independently. A parallel Sites beta uses the same stack to build live, interactive web pages from a prompt.

Why does it matter?

ChatGPT Work is OpenAI's clearest bet yet that people will hand a whole project — not just a question — to an AI agent. It slots into Pro, Enterprise, and Edu today, with Plus and Business in days, so the surface reaches paid ChatGPT users first. That timing puts pressure on Anthropic's Claude Cowork and Google's Antigravity, both aimed at the same 'agent-runs-for-hours' slot.

Who is it for?

ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, and Edu subscribers who already live inside ChatGPT and want it to finish tasks, not just draft them.
