OpenAI pairs its GPT-5.6 public rollout with ChatGPT Work, a new agent that handles entire workflows

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, an autonomous agent built on GPT-5.6 and Codex, enabling multi-hour project execution with usage-based billing. The tool integrates third-party apps like Google Drive and Slack, offering unified workflows from a single prompt, and rolls out gradually across subscription tiers with immediate desktop access. Security features include an Auto-Review system that blocked all attempts to extract protected data during testing.
