Summary:

OpenAI has released ChatGPT Work, a new work mode inside ChatGPT, and in this video I cover everything you need to know. What it actually is, how ChatGPT Work compares to Codex and Chat, and which one you should actually use depending on what you do. There is plenty of confusion out there right now, three modes, a moving model picker, and power users asking what the point is. I cut through all of it and explain why this update is aimed squarely at the billion people who use ChatGPT every day, even on the free plan.

The bigger shift is this: stop chatting with ChatGPT and start giving it jobs. Instead of asking questions and getting answers, you hand it a task, it spins up sub-agents, does the research, checks its own work, and delivers a finished result. The presentation in this video was built by ChatGPT Work itself in about twelve minutes, so you can see exactly what it produces. I also show you where to find the new work mode on web, mobile and desktop, and what to use it for in your daily work.
