OpenAI's ChatGPT Work Automates Tasks and Stays with Projects for Hours

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Work, a tool that can stay with a project for hours and turn a goal into finished work, addressing earlier limitations where automated tasks stopped after a few minutes. The company challenges users to evaluate it with familiar tasks like analyzing a budget or preparing a sales meeting, noting it can automate entire workflows, from customer research to marketing assets, while requiring user approval for important actions. ChatGPT Work also integrates Scheduled Tasks, a feature for automating repetitive tasks on a schedule or in response to events, which can run remotely and be monitored from a phone.
