ChatGPT Business

Rolling out new model, app access, and response capabilities for workspace agents in ChatGPT Business.

Workspace agents now support:

• GPT-5.5 and reasoning effort controls: Creators can choose GPT-5.5 and set reasoning effort, with improved response speed
• Guided agent setup: ChatGPT asks setup questions to help users create agents more quickly
• Speech output: Agents can create audio files as part of responses
• Smarter Slack thread replies: Agents can respond to relevant follow-up messages in threads after initial mention, with creator control over behavior

Workspace agents are now generally available in ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Agent builders can set safeguards on which actions agents can take for each enabled app. Admins can view workspace agent activity and usage in the admin console.

Free period for workspace agents extended until July 6, 2026. Credit-based pricing begins on that date.

New security feature in ChatGPT helping users review sessions associated with their account and sign out of unrecognized sessions.

Availability: Not available for accounts linked to an organization's SSO sign-in (SAML or OIDC).

Users can now:

• Review first-party OpenAI sessions from Settings > Security > Active sessions with details such as device, app, approximate location, sign-in time, trusted-device status, and current session status
• Log out of individual sessions or all sessions from Active sessions

Active sessions shows sessions known through session management, including ChatGPT, Codex, and API Platform sessions where available. Does not manage third-party app sessions, connected apps, Sign in with ChatGPT sessions for third-party services, or Codex CLI sessions.

ChatGPT Sites is now available in preview for ChatGPT Business workspaces with Codex access. Teams can ask Codex to create, iterate on, and deploy lightweight full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript web apps for internal workspace use, with hosted site URLs, Sign in with ChatGPT access, and data & file storage, while keeping access workspace internal.

Admins and owners can manage enablement and access through workspace settings and RBAC. For Business workspaces, ChatGPT Sites is enabled by default and can be managed from Workspace settings > Permissions & Roles. Admins and owners can disable created sites from Workspace settings > Sites.

Role-specific plugins are rolling out in Codex for supported ChatGPT Business workspaces. First set includes Sales, Data Analytics, Product Design, Creative Production, Investment Banking, and Public Equity Investing. These plugins package role-specific skills, app integrations, starter prompts, and workflow guidance.

Also adds 66 single-app plugins expanding integrations in Codex, including Databricks, Salesforce, Hex, and Clay. Users can add available plugins from the Codex plugin directory. Workspace admins control underlying app permissions in workspace settings.

Codex now supports Computer Use on Windows in the Codex app. Business users with Codex access can use Computer Use to let Codex see, click, and type in Windows applications. Users can also continue Windows workflows from ChatGPT on iOS or Android, or from Codex on Mac, to check progress, respond to prompts, and steer while away from the desk.

This release also improves Codex app responsiveness and in-app browser speed, stability, and web compatibility, and adds gradually rolling out Codex profiles for eligible users. Profiles let users review and track their Codex identity, activity over time, profile details, usage stats, and token activity.

Computer Use on Windows is unavailable in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland at launch.

Workspace admins and owners on Business plans can now use ChatGPT app templates to create workspace-specific apps for GitHub Enterprise, Snowflake, and Databricks. App templates provide a guided setup flow for provider-specific configuration such as OAuth credentials, callback URLs, webhook details, managed MCP server URLs, and workspace access controls before admins publish the app to members.

Codex now gives teams more ways to bring context into longer workflows, reuse internal tools, and track adoption:

• Appshots in the macOS app let users attach an app window to a Codex thread with a hotkey, including a screenshot and available text.
• Goal mode is generally available across the Codex app, IDE extension, and CLI, so users can define an outcome and success criteria and let Codex keep working toward it.
• In-app browser annotations support more precise styling feedback for browser-based and frontend work.
• Locked computer use lets users keep Codex working remotely and securely after the Mac locks, subject to existing regional constraints.
• Browser-use improvements add advanced annotation mode, faster asset extraction, read-only JavaScript context, tab grouping usability, less Chrome extension tab clutter, and reliability improvements.
• Plugin sharing lets ChatGPT Business users share locally built plugins with workspace members from the Codex app so teams can reuse internal tools and workflows.
• The global admin console now includes Codex analytics, with active users, credits and tokens, threads and turns, user leaderboards, plugin usage, accepted lines of code, model usage, and a console-aligned UI.

Teams can now use the ChatGPT mobile app to stay connected to Codex work running on a host Mac, making it easier to answer questions, redirect work, approve actions, review outputs, and keep longer-running tasks moving when away from the host machine. The mobile experience reflects the live state of the connected environment, including project context, approvals, screenshots, terminal output, diffs, and test results.

Codex also adds access tokens for trusted, non-interactive local workflows, so approved automation can run through scripts, schedulers, or private CI runners with a ChatGPT workspace identity.

Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app is rolling out in preview on iOS and Android across all plans, including Business, in supported regions.

The global admin console now includes new Analytics and Agents areas. Analytics gives admins a consolidated view of adoption and usage, with trend views for active users and message activity plus drilldowns for GPTs, projects, skills, users, tool interactions, connector interactions, and workspace health.

Agents gives admins a consolidated view of workspace agents across the organization. Admins can open an agent to review details such as Agent ID, recent activity, connected apps, memory files, schedules, and agent analytics such as unique users and runs over time, or move into Builder to edit it.

ChatGPT for Excel and Google Sheets is now available globally for ChatGPT Business, giving teams a spreadsheet-native ChatGPT sidebar in Excel and Google Sheets for building, cleaning up, updating, and explaining workbooks. It supports Skills and apps where available, so spreadsheet work can use approved files, systems, and data sources from a user's ChatGPT account.

Business customers have a free preview through June 2, 2026; after that, usage follows plan credits and usage terms.

ChatGPT workspace agents are rolling out gradually over the next few weeks to ChatGPT Business workspaces. Workspace Agents let organizations build and use agents for repeatable tasks and automate business workflows leveraging all your connected apps & can run in ChatGPT and/or Slack.

Eligible workspaces can now:

• Create agents from templates or build from scratch.
• Connect agents to tools and apps such as Google Drive, Google Calendar, Slack, and SharePoint.
• Add skills, files, and custom MCP servers.
• Share agents privately, by link, or in the workspace directory.
• Schedule recurring runs in ChatGPT.
• Use agents in connected Slack channels.
• View version history and analytics for agents.

All apps with sync now support in-region data residency in Japan for eligible ChatGPT Business workspaces. Previously, in Japan, data residency for apps with sync was limited to Google Drive and GitHub. This launch extends Japan data residency support to all sync connectors.

Workspace owners and admins can now manage app actions with a simplified model in Workspace settings > Apps. In Action control, admins can choose whether an app allows all actions, allows only read actions, or uses a custom configuration for current actions.

Admins can also choose how actions added later are handled by enabling all new actions, enabling only new read actions, or disabling new actions until they are reviewed.

A refreshed analytics experience, entitled Workspace analytics, is now available for ChatGPT Business. Workspace analytics replaces User analytics with a simpler, workspace-level view that helps admins understand overall adoption and Codex usage across their organization.

Key highlights:

• Refreshed analytics experience with updated visuals and navigation
• Workspace summary metrics such as active users, total messages sent, and total credits spent
• Member-level usage table showing usage by workspace member
• Flexible date ranges for analysis
• Codex visibility with direct jump to Codex analytics
• Search and filtering capabilities

The Outlook Email and Calendar apps for ChatGPT now support more delegated Outlook workflows for teams. With the right Microsoft permissions, users can ask ChatGPT to list and read shared mailbox messages, browse shared mailbox folders, mark shared mail read or unread, move shared messages, and send plain-text email from or on behalf of a shared mailbox. ChatGPT can also create, update, respond to, cancel, delete, and attach small files to events on shared Outlook calendars.

We're introducing a new seat type: a Codex seat based on flexible, credit based pricing. Codex seats have no fixed cost per month, and provide access to Codex only - they do not include ChatGPT workspace access. There's no minimum number of Codex seats you need to purchase, but because seats are billed on usage, using Codex requires workspace credits.

Along with this change, we're reducing the price of subscription-based ChatGPT seats by USD $5 / month. If you're a current subscriber, the new, lower price will be reflected in your next monthly or annual bill.

We've also updated the Codex Rate Card to align with token-based usage pricing.

We're rolling out updated Box, Notion, Linear, and Dropbox apps in ChatGPT Business. These updates add new app actions, including new write capabilities where supported, and bring the latest app experience into ChatGPT.

These apps are enabled automatically, and workspace admins/owners can review app actions in Workspace settings > Apps to enable those aligned to their workspace needs. Members who previously connected these apps may need to reconnect the app after admin review to start using the updated experience.

Codex now includes a curated plugins directory that lets users discover, install, and use packaged workflows built from apps and skills directly in Codex. Plugins are installable bundles for reusable Codex workflows, making it easier to share the same setup across projects or teams. Plugins can package skills, optional app integrations, and MCP server configurations in a single place.

Google's file apps in ChatGPT are now unified under Google Drive, providing a single app experience for interacting with your Google Docs, Sheets and Slides on Google Drive.

The new Google Drive actions are on by default for Business workspaces. Existing users of Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides apps are unaffected - previously connected apps continue to work. To take advantage of the unified experience, existing users can disconnect and reconnect the Google Drive app to start using the new actions within ChatGPT.

The legacy deep research mode will be removed on Thursday, March 26, 2026. This change only affects the legacy mode; the current deep research experience will remain unchanged. Historical conversations and results will remain accessible.
