OpenAI plans to turn ChatGPT into a superapp

OpenAI is planning its biggest overhaul of ChatGPT yet, aiming to transform it into a "superapp" equipped with coding tools and AI agents as the company seeks to boost revenue ahead of a planned share listing, according to a Financial Times report published Sunday. The planned transformation represents a significant shift in strategy for the company, which has been working to diversify its offerings beyond its flagship chatbot product. The changes form part of a broader reorganization at OpenAI, as the company shifts resources to target lucrative enterprise clients and intensify competition with rival Anthropic. The report cited more than a dozen current and former employees who spoke on condition of anonymity. Reuters could not immediately verify the details of the report. The planned superapp would expand ChatGPT beyond its current capabilities, adding advanced coding tools and AI agents designed to handle complex tasks autonomously. OpenAI has also recently created a new unit backed by a $4 billion investment specifically to support its push into the corporate AI market, underscoring the company's ambition to capture larger clients in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector.
