- OpenAI launches Workspace Agents in ChatGPT to help teams manage complex, long-running workflows collaboratively.
- Powered by Codex, agents can handle tasks like reporting, coding, and messaging—while continuing to run in the cloud independently.
- Teams can build one shared agent, integrate it across tools like ChatGPT and Slack, and streamline workflows with approvals, data integration, and cross-team coordination.
OpenAI has announced the launch of Workspace Agents within ChatGPT, marking a shift toward enabling teams to manage complex tasks and long-running workflows more efficiently.
Workspace Agents build on the foundation of GPTs, but are designed for team use rather than individual productivity. Powered by Codex, these agents can handle a wide range of tasks—from preparing reports and writing code to responding to messages—while continuing to operate in the cloud even when users are offline.
A key advantage of Workspace Agents is their collaborative nature. Teams can create a single agent and use it across ChatGPT or tools like Slack, refining and improving it over time. These agents are built to support workflows that rely on shared context, cross-team coordination, and structured processes. They can gather data from relevant systems, follow internal procedures, request approvals when needed, and keep work moving across different tools.
This development reflects a broader shift in how AI is being integrated into organizations—not just as a personal productivity tool, but as an operational layer that supports teamwork and decision-making at scale.
To get started, users can access the “Agents” section in ChatGPT and describe a recurring workflow. The platform then guides them step by step to build a customized agent tailored to their needs.
Workspace Agents are currently available in research preview for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans. Meanwhile, GPTs will continue to be supported, with plans to introduce an easy transition into Workspace Agents in the near future.
