OpenAI Plans to Merge ChatGPT’s Chat and Work Tabs for Users

OpenAI plans to bring ChatGPT’s Chat and Work tabs together, combining conversations and task-focused features in one experience. The company will first make the change available to select users for feedback before a wider rollout.

In the combined experience, users will be able to bring files and plugins into ChatGPT, ask it to build websites or create presentations, and delegate web tasks while reviewing and guiding the work.

Codex will remain a separate experience in ChatGPT’s desktop app. After the transition, ChatGPT and Codex will draw from the same token allowance pool. OpenAI says most users will not be affected, though some may need to wait for usage resets more frequently, depending on their usage and the model they use.

The shared pool is part of an earlier plan for Plus, Pro and Business subscribers, with the change scheduled to begin in December. OpenAI’s plan to combine ChatGPT and Codex usage allowances sets the timing for that change.
