OpenAI ChatGPT Work: What it can do
You can ask ChatGPT Work to take on entire workflows with a single request. For example, it can convert customer research into a marketing campaign brief, use that brief to create marketing material, and then adapt it for different markets while keeping the same context throughout every step.
The AI agent also supports Scheduled Tasks, allowing users to automate repetitive work. It can check websites every morning, summarise changes, update presentations when new feedback arrives, or monitor customer feedback and turn it into product ideas.

On desktop, ChatGPT Work includes a built-in browser that can gather information from websites and online tools. OpenAI says the desktop version supports Computer Use, which allows ChatGPT to click, type, move files, and carry out actions on a user’s computer in the background.
OpenAI has also introduced Sites in ChatGPT in public beta. This feature lets users turn their work into interactive websites or web apps that can be shared with others.
“Even when you’re away from your computer or phone, ChatGPT Work can keep projects moving forward with Scheduled Tasks. For example, it can independently turn new messages from Microsoft Teams and Slack into updated docs or slides, then share important changes with your team,” the company said.
