Teams on ChatGPT business plans wanting shared agents for recurring work; the free preview ended in May, so it now costs credits.

Kenning's take

What it does

Workspace agents are shared assistants inside ChatGPT for business plans that run multi-step tasks in the cloud, connect to work apps and keep context across projects. They can run on a schedule or in response to triggers, including while staff are offline, and can be used from ChatGPT or Slack. OpenAI describes them as the next step after custom GPTs, and admins can limit their data access and require approval for sensitive actions.

• Powered by OpenAI's Codex model
• Runs multi-step tasks in the cloud
• Works in ChatGPT and Slack
• Scheduled or trigger-based runs
• Human approval for sensitive actions
