Chat, Work, Codex merged into single desktop app
The new ChatGPT desktop app is available globally for macOS and Windows. It combines Chat for questions and conversation, Work for research and finished deliverables, and Codex for software development in one app.
On desktop, Work can use local files and desktop apps with your permission. The built-in browser lets ChatGPT gather information from websites and work with supported web-based tools and files. Codex also adds inline editing within diffs, pull-request review in the side panel, faster computer use, and support for multiple repositories in one project.
If you already use the Codex app, update it as usual to move to the new ChatGPT desktop app. If you use the previous ChatGPT desktop app, follow the prompt in the app to download the new version. The previous app may remain installed as ChatGPT Classic.
