OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Workspace Agents for Business and Enterprise Plans
OpenAI has released ChatGPT Workspace Agents in research preview, available to ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plan subscribers. The agents pull context from documents, email, chats, code, and connected systems, and can take approved actions such as updating Linear issues, creating documents, or sending Slack messages. Teams describe the job once and ChatGPT generates a working agent using team best practices; agents run in the background or on a schedule without constant supervision.
Why It Matters
Workspace Agents positions ChatGPT as an always-on operational layer inside enterprise workflows — not just a chat assistant — competing directly with Notion's custom agents, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and the nascent agentic offerings from Google. The research preview timing aligns with Google Cloud Next week, framing OpenAI's enterprise push as a direct counter-move.
