ChatGPT Reportedly Prepares Major Redesign Focused on Agents as 'Chat Is Dead'
The redesign would steer users toward agents, Apps and Codex as OpenAI seeks higher revenue and enterprise customers, the Financial Times reported.
The Financial Times reported Sunday that OpenAI plans to roll out a revamped ChatGPT in the coming weeks, transforming it into a 'super app' with coding tools and AI agents to drive revenue ahead of its planned IPO later this year.
OpenAI has signaled interest in this 'superapp' concept since last year's Developer Day, following earlier attempts like ChatGPT Plugins to convert the platform into a central hub for online activity.
To compete with Anthropic, OpenAI is prioritizing revenue-generating tools like Codex while abandoning 'side quests' like the video generator Sora, according to executives.
Thibault Sottiaux, who leads OpenAI's core product and platform, described the strategy as building a personal agent capable of helping users across everything in their life, personally or at work.
Ahead of its IPO, OpenAI is converging on profitable products to satisfy investors, with roughly 40% of income currently from company contracts, as Jenny Xiao noted the company previously prioritized innovation over profits.
ChatGPT is intended to fundamentally change and maintain new tools. The US developer OpenAI wants to make more money with corporate customers. A new interface is also intended to target users to providers such as Booking.com.
