OpenAI now lets teams make custom bots that can do work on their own
The Verge • 4/22/2026 – 4/23/2026
Summary
OpenAI is now allowing users of its Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans to access cloud-based "workspace" agents in ChatGPT that can perform business tasks. Examples of these agents include one that finds product feedback online and sends reports via Slack, and a sales agent that drafts follow-up emails in Gmail. This development comes amid growing interest in AI agents, particularly following the viral success of OpenClaw, an AI agent previously known as Clawdbot and Moltbot. OpenClaw's founder, Peter Steinberger, is now employed by OpenAI.
