OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Work, a GPT-5.6 Agent That Automates Complex Workplace Tasks

My take: The GPT-5.6 models arrived yesterday; today comes the product. OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work, which unlike the ChatGPT we know, takes a complex instruction, builds a plan, connects to work applications, and executes the process without you supervising every step. Available first to Pro, Enterprise, and Edu users; Plus and Business access rolls out in phases.

The three-tier access structure makes it practical from day one: Sol for high-complexity projects, Terra for everyday work, and Luna for volume and speed. The idea is that you can assign each task exactly the level of capability it needs without paying for more than you use. For those already using GPT-5.6 in the API, the pricing covered last week has not changed.

OpenAI is competing directly with Claude Cowork, which has been operating in that same space since early in the year. What matters for any professional or business is not who arrived first, but that there are now several real options for delegating complete workflows, not just individual questions. What processes in your work could already run on their own if you gave an agent the right instructions?
