# OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Work: an Agent for Actions
On July 14, 2026, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work — a new agent integrated directly into ChatGPT. For two years, OpenAI has been talking about ChatGPT's ability to answer almost any question. Now the company is focusing on making ChatGPT not just answer, but actually perform tasks.
Agent Capabilities
ChatGPT Work is capable of:
- Performing actions in user applications and files
- Staying with the project for hours, if necessary
- Solving complex multi-step tasks
- Interacting with various tools and services
Availability
The service is launched for users of ChatGPT Pro-level subscription.
What This Means
This reflects ChatGPT's transition from the role of an assistant for text generation to the role of an active agent capable of autonomously performing user work. The agent can become a permanent helper, working on projects for extended periods and integrating with everyday work tools.
