ChatGPT Work
Why in News?
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, a new AI-powered agentic workspace built on the GPT-5.6 family of models. It is designed to perform complex professional tasks such as coding, research, document creation, website development and workflow automation through a single integrated platform.
What is ChatGPT Work?
•    ChatGPT Work is an AI-powered productivity platform that combines conversational AI, coding assistance and workflow automation within a single interface.
•    It integrates ChatGPT with Codex, OpenAI's AI coding system, enabling users to perform multiple workplace tasks without switching between different applications.
•    It represents OpenAI's effort to transform ChatGPT from a conversational chatbot into a comprehensive AI workspace for professional use.
Key Features
Unified Productivity Platform
•    Brings together AI chat, coding, research, document generation, website development and presentation creation within a single application.
Workflow Automation
•    Enables users to automate workflows, analyse datasets, generate reports, build software and publish websites directly through the platform.
Browser Automation
•    Supports browser-based task execution and website publishing, extending AI assistance beyond text generation.
Enterprise Integration
•    Integrates with enterprise platforms such as Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools for seamless access to organisational data and workflows.
Security Controls
•    Operates under the same security and administrative controls available in ChatGPT Enterprise, making it suitable for enterprise deployment.
GPT-5.6 Model Family
OpenAI has introduced three GPT-5.6 variants, allowing users to choose between performance, speed and cost.
Sol - Flagship model designed for the most advanced reasoning, coding and scientific tasks.
Terra - Mid-tier model offering performance comparable to GPT-5.5 at lower cost.
Luna - Fastest and most economical model designed for high-speed and cost-efficient applications.
Reasoning Controls
•    GPT-5.6 introduces configurable reasoning levels, allowing users to choose how much computational effort the model should spend on a task.
•    Users can select faster responses for routine tasks or deeper reasoning for more complex problems.
•    An Ultra reasoning mode is initially available for Pro and Enterprise subscribers.
Significance
•    Represents OpenAI's largest shift towards positioning ChatGPT as a productivity platform rather than only a conversational AI.
•    Enables both programmers and non-programmers to perform complex professional tasks using AI.
•    Reduces dependence on multiple software applications by providing an integrated AI workspace.
•    Strengthens OpenAI's position in the rapidly expanding enterprise AI market amid competition from other AI productivity platforms.
