    March 13, 2026

    OpenAI announces Google and Microsoft Apps in ChatGPT now support write actions. Users can draft emails, create docs and spreadsheets, and schedule meetings via calendar apps. Actions are off by default and must be enabled by workspace admins; some Microsoft Entra approvals may be required for new users.

    Write actions for Google and Microsoft Apps in ChatGPT

    We've updated scopes and actions in Google and Microsoft apps in ChatGPT to include support for write actions. You can now use apps like Microsoft Outlook email to draft emails for you, Google docs and sheets to create spreadsheets or docs, or setup meetings using the respective calendar apps.

    Write actions remain disabled by default until workspace admins enable them in
    Settings > Apps > Manage actions
    per app. For Microsoft apps, some customers may also need Microsoft Entra admin approval for updated scopes before new users can connect successfully.

    ChatGPT Enterprise/EDU by OpenAI

    March 12, 2026

    OpenAI unveils Workspace analytics for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu, a refreshed analytics experience with workspace level insights, benchmarks, impact surveys, task patterns, and a new analytics viewer role, with opt-out options and a two week window before surveys may launch.

    Workspace analytics

    A refreshed analytics experience, entitled
    Workspace analytics
    , is now available for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu. Workspace analytics, replacing
    User analytics
    , introduces workspace-level analytics to help admins understand adoption, engagement, and how teams use ChatGPT across their organization.

    Key highlights:

    • Refreshed analytics experience: Updated visuals and navigation, including new tabs that surface insights on how teams use ChatGPT and the outcomes it delivers.
    • Benchmark comparisons: Compare adoption and engagement metrics against an industry median.
    • Impact: Understand self-reported outcomes such as productivity, time saved, work quality, and work satisfaction through surveys sent to users.
    • Note: The
      Impact
      tab will only be enabled for
      Enterprise
      workspaces (not Edu) upon release.
    • Task insights: View aggregated patterns of work in ChatGPT, including task categories and conversation topics.

    Additionally, a new user type,
    analytics viewer
    , allows designated workspace members to view workspace analytics alongside workspace owners and admins.

    Note:
    Task Insights and user-distributed impact surveys are
    enabled by default.
    Workspace admins and owners may opt out of one or both of these features. Workspaces
    will have approximately 2 weeks
    from initial release to opt out before surveys may be sent to users.

    For more information and an overview of the
    Workspace analytics
    feature, see:
    Workspace analytics for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu
    .

    For guidance on how to operationalize these insights (playbooks, enablement motions, champion programs), see our Academy guide:

    March 11, 2026

    OpenAI updates governing scopes for Outlook Calendar, Outlook Email, SharePoint and Teams apps, requiring Microsoft Entra admins to review and approve before new users connect. Users may encounter connection issues; new actions aren’t enabled automatically and must be reviewed and selectively enabled by workspace admins.

    We updated the scopes requested by the Outlook Calendar, Outlook Email, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams apps to support additional actions. Microsoft Entra admins will need to review and approve the updated app scopes before new users connect - users may hit connection issues, otherwise.

    Note that the new scopes do not automatically make available (or enable) new actions for these apps (including any write actions). Workspace admins and owners will need to review available app actions by locating the app entry in Workspace settings > Apps, and then clicking Manage actions.

    New actions, when made available, are disabled by default - admins/owners can review and then enable actions if appropriate for their workspace.

    New ways to learn math and science in ChatGPT

    OpenAI introduces dynamic interactive visual explanations in ChatGPT for over 70 core math and science concepts. Users can manipulate variables and see real time how formulas and graphs respond, turning abstract ideas into hands-on experiments. Rolling out today to all logged-in users worldwide.

    Understanding concepts through interactive visuals

    Explore concepts with interactive visual explanations.

    ChatGPT has quickly become one of the most widely used tools for learning. Each week, 140 million people use ChatGPT to help them understand math and science concepts alone. People also come to ChatGPT to explore new topics, work through homework problems, prepare for exams, and break down concepts they’ve always found difficult.

    For many learners, math and science concepts feel abstract and hard to understand. In a recent
    Gallup (opens in a new window)
    survey, more than half of U.S. adults said they struggle with math, and many parents reported they don’t feel confident helping their children learn it.

    Today, we’re making learning these concepts in ChatGPT even more interactive with new dynamic visual explanations. Starting with more than 70 core math and science concepts, ChatGPT will guide learners by showing how formulas, variables, and relationships behave in real time. These experiences will be available globally across all plans starting today.

    Understanding concepts through interactive visuals

    Research
    suggests
    (opens in a new window)
    that visual, interaction based learning can lead to stronger conceptual understanding than traditional instruction for many students. When learners can manipulate variables and instantly see the effects, they may be better able to internalize the relationships behind mathematical and scientific concepts.

    Now when someone asks ChatGPT about one of the core topics, it can explain it and present an interactive visual module. Users can adjust variables, manipulate formulas, and instantly see how those changes affect graphs and outcomes—turning abstract equations into something they can experiment with directly.

    “What stands out is how strongly this feature emphasizes conceptual understanding. When learning math, understanding why something works and how ideas connect helps concepts stick long term. I especially appreciate how it doesn’t stop at the original question but actively prompts you to extend thinking and explore deeper connections.”
    — Anjini Grover, High School Mathematics Teacher

    To try it out, you can ask ChatGPT:

    • Help me understand the Pythagorean Theorem
    • Explain how PV=nRT works
    • How can I find the area of a circle?

    (Object distance and focal length sliders update solved image distance and reflected rays.)

    Our work to strengthen learning with ChatGPT

    Helping people explore ideas, experiment with concepts, and build deeper understanding is one of the most meaningful ways we can bring the benefits of AI to people everywhere.

    In early testing, college and high school age students said the interactive experience helped them better understand how variables relate to one another. Parents said it gave them a more dynamic way to walk through problems alongside their children. Educators said tools like this could help students understand how concepts work, instead of simply memorizing formulas.

    This is just the beginning. Over time, we plan to expand interactive learning with additional subjects and continue building tools that strengthen learning with ChatGPT. This work builds on experiences like
    study mode
    , introduced last year to help students work through problems step by step, and
    quizzes
    (opens in a new window)
    , which help users strengthen recall and prepare for exams.

    The research landscape on how AI affects learning is still taking shape, but recent studies—including our findings on
    study mode
    —show promising early signals. Through partners in OpenAI’s
    NextGenAI
    initiative and the
    OpenAI Learning Lab
    , we will continue to advance research to better understand how AI shapes learning over time. We intend to publish findings, shape future product experiences based on these insights, and work side by side with the broader education ecosystem to ensure AI benefits learners worldwide.

    Editor’s note: Interactive learning is rolling out starting today to all logged-in ChatGPT users. Today, the list of math and science topics is most relevant to high school and college age learners, and includes topics like binomial square, Charles’ law, circle area, circle equation, compound interest, cone surface area, cone volume, Coulomb’s law, cylinder volume, degrees of freedom, difference of squares, exponential decay, Hooke’s law, kinetic energy, lens equation, linear equation, Ohm’s law, period–frequency relation, potential energy, PV = nRT equation, Pythagorean theorem, slope–intercept form, surface area of sphere, triangle area, trig angle sum identity, and others.
