OpenAI is launching its largest-ever overhaul of ChatGPT to transition the platform into an integrated super app. The company is shifting focus toward autonomous AI agents and its Codex coding tool, with a senior employee telling the Financial Times that chat is dead. These updates are scheduled to roll out in the coming weeks.
The strategic pivot aims to attract lucrative enterprise clients and increase revenue before a potential initial public offering. This move intensifies competition with business-focused rivals like Anthropic. OpenAI plans to leverage its massive user base as a gateway to high-value paid services rather than a free chatbot.
