OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, a powerful but confusing product available to paid subscribers, which is actually two distinct offerings. Work Cloud, accessible via chatgpt.com and mobile apps, features a code execution environment with unrestricted internet access, a headless Chrome browser, and a persistent filesystem. Work Local, a rebranded version of the former Codex desktop app, allows direct file and program access on a user's computer. The Work Cloud's advanced capabilities, including internet-connected code execution and website deployment via Cloudflare Workers, set it apart from the standard ChatGPT Chat. AI
IMPACT Accelerates enterprise adoption of AI agents and workflows by providing powerful tools for task completion and development.
