OpenAI to overhaul ChatGPT ahead of IPO, prioritizing Codex in shift to a 'super app'
Ahead of its initial public offering (IPO), OpenAI is revamping ChatGPT into a 'super app' that combines coding tools and AI agents. The changes will be rolled out in stages over the coming weeks, with the company aiming to transition to a paid product through web and mobile design changes and integration with external partners.
OpenAI is reportedly planning its largest overhaul of ChatGPT since its launch ahead of its initial public offering (IPO). The changes involve transforming ChatGPT from a simple chatbot into a 'super app' combining coding tools and AI agents. The company said the revamp would be rolled out in stages over the coming weeks.
OpenAI has decided to prioritize Codex, its coding product. Codex can write code and create software based on simple instructions from users. The company said it plans to strengthen development-related functions through Codex.
Internally, there is reportedly growing sentiment that the future of AI lies not in simply answering questions, but in AI agents that perform real-world tasks on users' behalf, such as booking travel and managing schedules. The overhaul is intended to reflect this conviction within the company in the platform's design.
As a first step, the ChatGPT website and mobile app designs will be changed. The plan is reportedly to guide customers toward using coding tools, image-generation tools, and external partner apps. The article mentions plans to integrate apps from external partners such as Booking.com.
Executives said they are facing revenue pressure ahead of an initial public offering. ChatGPT is 2022since its launch in 10hundred million users, but most consumers use it for free. Executives said they would use this large user base as a gateway to introduce high-value products.
