OpenAI announced ChatGPT Work on July 9, available to subscribers paying $20/month or more. The product exists in two forms: a cloud version accessible via chatgpt.com and mobile apps, and a local version in the desktop app formerly called Codex. Work Cloud adds features missing from Chat, including code execution with internet access, a headless Chrome browser, a persistent shared filesystem, and the ability to publish ChatGPT Sites.
