OpenAI is reportedly planning to roll out a revamped version of ChatGPT in the coming weeks, one that will serve as a “super app” with coding tools and AI agents, according to the Financial Times. Because apparently, having a chatbot that can write poetry and debug your code wasn't enough - now it needs to become the Swiss Army knife of your digital life.

The company’s goal, according to the FT, is to become more competitive with Anthropic, particularly among business customers, and to inch closer to profitability before an IPO. That means turning ChatGPT into a gateway that leads free users toward products they might actually pay for - such as the coding product Codex. In a statement that will surely comfort anyone worried about human interaction, one senior OpenAI employee declared, “Chat is dead.”

Thibault Sottiaux, who leads OpenAI’s core product and platform, said the company is working toward a product “where you have your own personal agent that is capable of helping you … across everything in your life, be it personally or at work.” Because nothing says “work-life balance” like a single AI agent managing both your spreadsheets and your weekend plans.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because reports about OpenAI’s super app ambitions have been circulating since last year. In March, The Wall Street Journal reported that these plans represent a major strategy shift for the company after launching a variety of standalone products in 2025; OpenAI executives now say they’re abandoning “side quests” like video generator Sora. So long, AI-generated cat videos - hello, all-in-one digital overlord.
