OpenAI's agent-based AI tools have rapidly expanded, surpassing 10 million users shortly after the release of ChatGPT Work on July 9, 2026. This latest product targets enterprise workflow automation by managing multi-step tasks across various applications.
ChatGPT Work builds on OpenAI's earlier Codex platform, which focused primarily on coding and had over 5 million weekly users at the time of the new launch. also more than 1 million users leveraged OpenAI’s platform for non-coding tasks even before ChatGPT Work debuted.
By November 2025, ChatGPT Work had grown to over 7 million enterprise seats, marking a 40% increase in just two months. Year-over-year growth reached nine times, a staggering figure compared to the typical 30-40% annual growth seen in most enterprise SaaS companies. The broader OpenAI ecosystem also benefits from approximately 10 million ChatGPT Plus subscribers contributing to its adoption.
Team Collaboration and Workspace Agents
On April 22, 2026, OpenAI introduced workspace agents designed to support team environments rather than individual users. These agents operate within permission-controlled workspaces, enabling shared automation of complex workflows. This represents an expansion from the general-purpose ChatGPT Agent launched in July 2025, which was accessible to Pro, Plus, and Team subscribers.
The launch of ChatGPT Work and workspace agents signals OpenAI’s deeper push into enterprise automation, challenging established software providers by integrating AI that not only answers queries but actively performs tasks across applications.
