ChatGPT Business Updates & Release Notes

GPT-6 and Intelligent UI in Business Chat

GPT-6, powered by GPT-6 Sol, is rolling out in Chat to eligible Business workspaces. Availability depends on workspace access and supported clients.

Intelligent UI can combine text, visuals, and interactive elements when useful. Responses may begin while ChatGPT continues thinking, followed by more detail. These capabilities are available with GPT-6 at Instant through Extra High on supported clients.

Manage plugins and marketplaces in Admin console

Workspace owners and admins in ChatGPT Business can now manage plugins and marketplaces in Admin console. Select your ChatGPT workspace, then open Plugins to manage plugins or Marketplaces to manage your workspace’s plugin marketplaces.

Apps remain available in Workspace settings > Apps. You can also open the Apps page by selecting Manage Legacy Apps from the Plugins page in Admin console. Existing workspace permissions and app access controls continue to apply.

Learn more about managing plugins and apps.

Codex Cloud lets you start and continue coding tasks from desktop, web, or mobile using reusable environments with your project’s repositories, tools, and dependencies. Each task gets its own isolated workspace, and tasks can continue while your computer is asleep. Your workspace’s Codex cloud-access settings apply.

To connect repositories and prepare an environment, see: Set up and configure Codex Cloud. For availability and usage, see: Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan.

Connect approved tools for team work

ChatGPT Business workspace administrators can configure app connections for teams to use with approved tools and recurring tasks. A team owner can enable eligible workspace connections for the team, so each teammate does not need to connect the same provider account separately.

The connected provider account determines which information and actions a task can access. Sharing a plugin and granting access to an app connection are separate settings.

Learn more about setting up team tasks and connections.

Connected apps, editing, and schedules in Sites

ChatGPT Business members can build private workspace Sites using supported connected apps, such as issue dashboards and document finders. Teammates in the same workspace approve read-only access to their own connected accounts, within their existing permissions. Organization approval is required, and workspace admins must turn on Allow use in Sites for each plugin. This setting is off by default. Visitor access is available while using the Site and can’t be reused by background scheduled tasks.

Site owners and editors can select Edit site from a published Site in a desktop browser to continue editing in ChatGPT, review changes, and publish when ready. Owners can create recurring cloud schedules from Automations. Learn more about creating and managing Sites and workspace controls.

GPT-6.1 Sol in Work and Codex

GPT-6.1 Sol improves on GPT-6 Sol in agentic coding, computer use, and professional work. We’re rolling it out in ChatGPT Work and Codex, starting with Pro users and expanding to Plus, Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Enterprise and Edu administrators must enable access.

For availability and model selection, see: ChatGPT Work and Codex.

For model availability and usage, see: ChatGPT Business models and limits. For usage paid in credits, see: ChatGPT credit rate card.

Share Pages and Spaces with a team

Create a team in ChatGPT to bring together coworkers who work on the same projects. Add your colleagues once, then share Pages or entire Spaces with the team. Teams can also use shared plugins and maintain recurring team tasks together, subject to workspace permissions.

Available in ChatGPT Business workspaces. Team membership does not automatically share personal chats or app connections, and it does not override your organization’s access controls.

Learn more about Teams in ChatGPT.

Team tasks in ChatGPT

Team tasks let you share recurring work with teammates in ChatGPT. Set a task to run on a schedule or supported trigger, using approved company tools. Authorized teammates can review results and update instructions together, so maintaining the task doesn’t depend on one person. For example, your team can post a weekly project update with progress, blockers, and next steps to an approved Slack channel.

Team tasks are available in ChatGPT Business workspaces, subject to workspace permissions. To get started, ask your workspace admin to set up the approved connections your team needs. For setup instructions, see: Creating and managing team tasks in ChatGPT.

Work with @ChatGPT in Slack and Microsoft Teams

@ChatGPT is now available for ChatGPT Business in Slack and Microsoft Teams. DM @ChatGPT or mention it in a channel where your organization has enabled it to ask questions, summarize discussions, or draft work with teammates. It can use the company information and tools your administrator has connected.

Your organization must install and enable @ChatGPT before you can use it. Administrators configure its instructions and connections, and the connected accounts determine which resources and actions it can access. To get started, ask your workspace administrator where @ChatGPT is available.

Global admins in ChatGPT Business organizations can now manage whether ChatGPT Sites can use members’ connected apps and whether applications can access ChatGPT Ads. These controls are on the redesigned External access page in the OpenAI Admin Console. Identity-only sign-in remains separate from data access.

Both new permissions are off by default during the admin preview. Members must still authorize access using their own permissions. Sites access also depends on workspace and individual app settings. For setup, see: Managing your tenant in Admin Console.

Use plugins in Voice and get work done by speaking

Live now supports plugins on web, iOS, and Android. You can use the plugins and connected apps available to your account during a Voice conversation and follow written responses in the chat.

Voice is also available in Work on web and mobile. Ask it to create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, use connected apps, or work in a browser. When you end a Voice call in Work, an unfinished task can continue in text.

Workspace controls continue to apply. Voice in Work requires both Voice and Work access, and plugins retain their existing app access, data permissions, and action restrictions. When an action needs your approval, review it on screen.

Learn more: ChatGPT Voice.

Privacy Center is rolling out to signed-in ChatGPT Business users. It brings together information about chat privacy, memory, personalization, data use, connected apps, and account security, with links to the settings that manage them. Your privacy controls remain in ChatGPT Settings.

On the web, open your account menu, select Help, then select Privacy Center. On mobile, open Settings, then select Privacy Center on iOS or Privacy center on Android. Available options depend on your plan, region, and workspace settings.

Privacy Center in ChatGPT

ChatGPT for Word is now available for ChatGPT Business. You can draft from notes, summarize a document, revise selected text, and adjust headings and formatting from the ChatGPT sidebar. Install the same Microsoft add-in used for Excel and PowerPoint to get started.

Workspace admins can turn Word access on or off in the ChatGPT admin console. Microsoft 365 admins must also allow the ChatGPT add-in. Starting Oct 1, 2026, Word access will be enabled by default.

Word uses token-based pricing at the API rates for the model you use. Your plan’s token limits apply, and Word draws from the shared usage allowance for Codex and other premium features on plans that include it. See the Business and Enterprise/Edu rate card for credit pricing.

Test a member’s model access

ChatGPT Business admins can use Model Test to understand which models a member can access and which settings contribute to that access.

Open Admin Console, select your ChatGPT workspace, then use Models > Test to search for a member by name or email.

Testing does not grant model access, change permissions or usage limits, or override the member’s seat type or workspace plan. For the steps and feature availability, see: Checking model access in Admin Console.

Quick chats from the desktop

In the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS and Windows, you can now send typed requests from the floating Pets controls and check task progress without opening the main window.

Choose Mini in Settings > Pets to use the controls without a companion. Open Quick Chat with Option+Space on macOS or Windows+Alt+P on Windows. Existing workspace restrictions on Pets still apply. Learn more.

Appshots on Windows

Appshots are now available on Windows. Press both Alt keys to share the frontmost app’s window with ChatGPT, then describe the help you need. The attachment includes a screenshot and text the app makes available, which can extend beyond the visible area.

You can change the shortcut and destination chat in settings. On Windows, Appshots open in the main app. Your organization’s Appshots settings still apply. Learn more.

Planned custom GPT retirement and migration to plugins

We’re planning to retire custom GPTs across ChatGPT plans and provide a migration path to plugins, which can combine reusable instructions with connected apps. Your team can continue using existing GPTs until the applicable retirement date, subject to workspace permissions.

To prepare, review your team’s GPTs and identify their creators and the people who need access. When migration becomes available, test migrated plugins and review sharing before your team switches. Follow your workspace notices for applicable timing and availability, and learn more about the planned retirement.

Data plugin in ChatGPT Work and Codex

The Data plugin helps you analyze connected business data in ChatGPT Work and Codex. Ask a business question, investigate changes, or create an interactive dashboard or report. You can refine the analysis with follow-up questions and bring in your team’s metric definitions and other business context.

Workspace administrators can manage Data’s installation policy in Workspace settings > Plugins and enable the data-source plugins and apps the team needs. Members can start with @Data once Data is available in their workspace. Connected-account permissions and workspace access controls apply. Learn more.

Updated models and usage limits in ChatGPT Voice

ChatGPT Voice can now use GPT-5.6 or GPT-6 Astra when it needs to search or reason through harder questions. Choose your model and reasoning effort using the same controls as text chat. Available models and their usage limits depend on your plan and workspace settings.

We’re also simplifying GPT-Live daily usage limits:

• Business Standard seats: Up to 3 hours with GPT-Live-1.
• Business Premium seats: Up to 15 hours with GPT-Live-1.

Additional Voice usage costs 1.25 credits per minute, down from 5 credits. Search and reasoning usage follows the selected model’s normal limits and pricing, separately from Voice usage.

With these updates, the separate Instant/Medium/High Voice intelligence levels are deprecated.

Codex CLI worktrees and workflow improvements

Codex CLI 0.154.0 adds experimental support for starting or forking tasks in separate Git worktrees. You can browse and resume those worktrees, and answer questions inline while Codex continues working.

The update also preserves formatting when you copy responses and refreshes plugin tools in existing sessions. Update the CLI to use these changes. Learn more.

Codex task and worktree improvements on iOS

ChatGPT for iOS 1.2026.244 lets you reference another task with @ and answer Codex’s questions while work continues, without replacing your draft. File browsing now keeps your reading position and adds recent files and Back navigation.

When starting a remote worktree, you can choose a branch or include current local changes. On iOS 26, setup can continue in the background with a Live Activity. Remote work requires a connected computer and follows workspace settings.
