OpenAI is building AI agents for everything. Will everyone use them?

OpenAI is expanding its AI agent capabilities beyond coding through ChatGPT Work, a product that gives LLMs access to users' inboxes, Slack, phones, and productivity apps like Notion and Figma. Lead engineer Andrew Ambrosino demonstrates the level of control by entrusting the AI with his entire digital workflow, accepting privacy tradeoffs for productivity gains. The $20/month offering aims to bring coding-agent functionality to white-collar professionals across accounting, investing, healthcare, and other fields.

Background

OpenAI's ChatGPT Work represents the company's strategic push to move beyond conversational AI into autonomous agents that can operate across users' digital ecosystems. This follows the success of their Codex coding tool, adapting similar agent-based functionality for non-technical professionals.
