ChatGPT is eating the app drawer
OpenAI is reportedly planning its biggest ChatGPT update yet, as it looks to turn the app into more of an all-in-one “superapp”.
According to the Financial Times, the redesign will give more space to OpenAI’s coding tool Codex, AI agents, image generation and partner services such as Canva and Booking.com.
The changes could start appearing on ChatGPT’s website and mobile apps in the coming weeks.
The move comes as OpenAI puts more focus on business customers.
The FT reported that around 2 million businesses now make up about 40% of OpenAI’s revenue, with that share expected to reach 50% by the end of the year.
The key bits:
OpenAI is reportedly redesigning ChatGPT into more of a superapp.
Codex, AI agents and partner services are expected to get more attention.
The shift comes as OpenAI focuses more on business customers and future revenue growth.
IPO math hums
Codex is also becoming a bigger priority, as most of its users are paying customers.
The update could make ChatGPT feel less like a chatbot and more like a hub for coding, creating, booking and completing tasks.
OpenAI has also been linked to a possible stock market listing.
Reuters reported in May that the company was preparing a confidential US IPO filing, though CEO Sam Altman has said the company will go public when it makes sense.
Reuters said it could not independently verify the FT report, and OpenAI did not immediately comment.
