ChatGPT — August 25, 2026

This release significantly enhances ChatGPT Work's automation capabilities, introducing the ability to complete tasks on signed-in websites for Plus and Pro users, from booking appointments to checking insurance. New webhook-triggered scheduled tasks allow Plus and Pro users to automatically respond to events in Gmail, Slack, and GitHub, ensuring seamless workflow integration. All users can now share scheduled tasks for easier collaboration, while Free users have a limit of three active tasks and cannot use webhooks. These updates streamline daily operations and expand intelligent automation across more personal and professional workflows.

Added

  • Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT Work can use webhooks to respond when something changes in a supported app, helping you keep work moving without repeatedly checking for updates. You can also share a task so someone else can review and customize it, connect their own apps, and schedule an independent copy. Supported webhooks include new Gmail messages, Slack channel messages, and GitHub pull request activity.
  • Plus and Pro users can ask Work on web, iOS, and Android to respond when a new Gmail message arrives, a Slack channel receives a message, or a GitHub pull request changes. For example, ask ChatGPT to summarize an email announcing that registration has opened, or draft next steps after a client shares feedback in Slack. Add @ChatGPT to each monitored Slack channel. Actions that require approval pause until you review them.
  • Figure out utilities for a new apartment and sign up for the right plan

Changed

  • Scheduled tasks can respond to app updates and be shared
  • Create webhook-triggered tasks
  • Share scheduled tasks
  • Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users can share scheduled tasks. Recipients can review and customize the instructions and, when applicable, the schedule, connect their own apps, and create an independent copy. Running a shared webhook-triggered task requires access to Work and the recipient’s own connected app.
  • Scheduled tasks for Free users
  • Free users can create up to three active scheduled tasks. Tasks can run once or recur no more than once per day using flexible scheduling windows. Free and Go users cannot create webhook-triggered tasks. For more information, see: Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT.
  • ChatGPT Work can now complete tasks on signed-in websites
  • ChatGPT Work’s browser on web and mobile can also help you get tasks done on some websites that require you to sign in—so you can hand off a task and step away while it keeps working.
  • To get started, just ask ChatGPT Work to complete your task. If a website allows authentication, ChatGPT will surface the login screen so you can securely enter your credentials. You may also need to enter a security code. Once you’re signed in, ChatGPT can continue working. Your session may remain signed in for future tasks, so you don’t have to log in again every time. ChatGPT Work’s browser supports the use of password managers for simple, safe login. ChatGPT cannot see your username or password, and they are never seen by the model or used in model training. ChatGPT does not store your username or passwords. You can delete your browsing history from all sites or one site individually at any time from Settings > Cloud browser > Browser data.
  • You can now ask ChatGPT Work to do things like:
  • Book a DMV appointment or fill out your passport renewal forms
  • Check X-ray and bloodwork costs through your insurance portal
  • Find profiles of people that fit your job description and are open to work
  • You stay in control of which websites ChatGPT Work can access, and it will always ask for confirmation before consequential actions, such as completing a reservation or payment.
  • Authentication in ChatGPT Work’s browser is available for Plus and Pro plans.
