New ChatGPT Work is INSANE!

New chat GPT work is insane, and I mean that in the most literal way. OpenA, I just took chat GPT, the coding tool called Codex, and a brand new model called GPT 5.6 and mashed them into one thing. It's called chat GPT work. It doesn't just answer your questions anymore.

It goes off and does the job. Here's the scale of it. More than 5 million people already use Codex every single week. Over 1 million of them aren't coders at all.

They're using it to build slides, write reports, and run projects. Now that same engine sits inside chat GPT for everyone. A year ago, chat GPT was a text box. You type something in, it types something back, and you did the rest yourself.

Copy it out, paste it somewhere else, fix it, repeat. Now you can hand it a goal, walk away, and come back hours later to finish work. Let me explain what changed under the hood in plain words. Old chat GPT was like a smart friend on the phone.

You ask a question, they answer, then the call ends. Chat GPT work is more like handing that friend a set of keys to your office. It can open your files, it can read your Slack messages, it can log into your Google Drive, then it breaks a big job into small steps and does each one on its own for hours if it has to. The model behind it is called GPT 5.6.

OpenAI didn't just release one model. They released three. Sol is the strongest one. Terra is the everyday one.

Luna is the fast, light one. Free users get Luna. Paying users can pick between all three, depending on how hard the job is. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency, Goldie Agency.

Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. And Julian Goldie reads every comment, so make sure you comment below. It's a detail that matters more than the model names. OpenAI says GPT 5.6 got a lot better at design, not just writing code, but actually looking at what it built and fixing it if it looks wrong or works wrong.

Picture a builder who doesn't just follow the blueprint, but also walks through the finished house and fixes the crooked door before handing you the keys. Now for the part that should really grab you. This agent connects to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Google Drive, SharePoint, Salesforce, and your calendar. OpenAI says you can ask it to pull data from all of those places, build a spreadsheet, write a report, make a slide deck, or even build a small webpage, all from one request.

I want to be fair here, so let me say the skeptical part out loud. A lot of AI agent launches promise the moon and deliver a fancy chat bot with extra steps. I get why people roll their eyes, but this one has real numbers behind it, not just a flashy demo. OpenAI says nearly all of its own teams now use chat GPT, work, and codex internally.

The finance team used to spend days building month-end forecasts. Now it takes hours. Their sales team builds proposals faster too. That's not a hype claim from a stage.

That's OpenAI describing their own daily work. If you're a business owner watching this and wondering how any of this fits into what you do, stick with me because this next part is for you. Right now inside the AI profit boardroom, our members are already testing tools exactly like this to run their businesses. Say you're growing something like a community or a coaching program.

You could ask chat GPT work to pull your slack conversations, spot the most common questions members ask, and turn that into a fresh FAQ page all on its own. That's the kind of workflow we build step-by-step inside the boardroom tailored to whatever tool just came out. If you want the walkthrough on exactly how to set this up for your own business, the link's in the description or go to AIprofitboardroom.com. Okay, let's keep going because there's more here that matters.

The codex part of this deserves its own explanation because most people still think of codex as the coding thing. That's the old story. OpenAI folded the entire standalone codex app into the new chat GPT desktop app. The old chat GPT desktop app got renamed to chat GPT classic.

Codex isn't just for programmers anymore. It's the engine running everything. Why does that matter? Because coding tools are built to be exact.

They check their own work, they test it, they fix it when it breaks. Now that same check, test, fix habit is running your slide decks and your reports too, not just your code. There's a feature called scheduled tasks. This lets chat GPT work, run jobs on a timer without you touching it.

OpenAI's own examples include watching customer feedback as it comes in, updating a slide deck automatically, summarizing a busy slack channel, or sending out a report on a set schedule. You set it once, it keeps running. Picture this for a second. A report that used to mean someone spending their whole Friday afternoon copying numbers between spreadsheets.

Now it's a task that runs on its own every week and lands in your inbox finished. There's also something called ultra mode. Instead of one AI working alone, ultra runs several agents at the same time on different parts of the same project, then combines their work into one finished result. Think of a kitchen with four cooks instead of one each handling a different dish.

So the whole meal lands on the table together instead of one course at a time. Let's talk timing because this didn't come out of nowhere. About two weeks before this launch, US officials paused wider public access to GPT 5.6 while they reviewed it. That review wrapped up and OpenAI got the green light to roll it out to everyday users this week.

I'm not going to tell you what to think about that. I'm just telling you it happened because it explains why this landed the way it did. Right now, chat GPT work is live for pro enterprise and EG plans. OpenAI says plus and business users get access in the next few days.

If you're on the free plan, you still get the new desktop app with GPT 5.6 lunar built in. Now, you're probably wondering how this stacks up against Claude Cowork since that's Anthropic's version of the same idea. Both let an AI work across your apps and stay on a task for a long stretch. OpenAI is leaning on Codex's track record with real code and real testing.

Anthropic has been building Cowork and expanding it into Slack. I'd say watch both. Competition here is moving fast and whichever one fits your workflow better is the one worth learning first. Let's zoom out from the tech and talk about who this actually helps.

If you run a small team, picture your Monday morning inbox. New leads, three Slack threads asking the same question, and a client waiting on a proposal. Chat GPT work can read all of that, draft the proposal from your last template, answer the repeat questions, and leave you a summary of what it did. You review it, you send it.

That's the whole job cut down to minutes. If you're in marketing, here's a live example straight from OpenAI's own walkthrough. They showed it building a full marketing campaign brief and the collateral to go with it, pulling context from connected files instead of starting from a blank page every time. Here's the honest part.

This doesn't mean fewer humans doing meaningful work. It means the boring, repeatable parts of work stop eating your day. The proposal still needs your judgment. The campaign still needs your voice.

The AI clears the busy work so you get to that judgment faster. Where does this go next? OpenAI already said scheduled tasks and ultra mode are just the start. Expect more app connections over time and expect plus and business plans to get full access within days, not months.

The pattern here is the tool getting faster and cheaper to run at the same time. That combination is what actually changes daily habits. This is exactly the kind of update that moves fast and leaves people behind who wait too long to touch it. Inside the AI profit boardroom, we're already mapping out a full walkthrough on chat GPT work, how to connect it to the apps you already use, and how to build your first automated report or proposal with it.

Four coaching calls every week where you can ask about your exact setup, a prompt library built around workflows like this one, and a map so you can connect with other members near you who are testing the same tools in real businesses.

You'll get the walkthroughs, the templates, and access to a community of over 89,000 people figuring this stuff out together. Links in the comments and description.
