Why it matters

ChatGPT moves from a destination app into the tools where teams already talk. The catch: it does not inherit each person's app access, so some requests still need individual authorization.

ChatGPT Workspace Agents Jul 6, 2026Free preview ends

ChatGPT Workspace Agents starts charging for usage

The free preview for ChatGPT Workspace Agents ended on July 6, 2026 (OpenAI had already pushed the original May 6 cutoff back once). Every agent run invoked inside ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, or Teachers workspaces now draws down credits on top of the per-seat subscription these teams already pay, based on input, cached input, and output tokens. Runs triggered outside ChatGPT, such as an agent replying in a connected Slack channel, aren't metered yet.

Your move: Only runs invoked inside ChatGPT are metered so far

Why it matters

If your team built workflows on Workspace Agents during the free preview, budget for it now: usage inside ChatGPT itself has a real, variable cost as of July 6. Agents that mostly run through Slack still have some runway before that changes too.

ChatGPT Workspace Agents Apr 22, 2026Launch

OpenAI launches Workspace Agents, shared AI teammates for teams

OpenAI launched Workspace Agents on April 22, 2026, an evolution of custom GPTs built for teams instead of individuals. You describe a recurring workflow or upload a file, and ChatGPT turns it into a shared agent with its own workspace, files, tools, and memory. Agents run on Codex in the cloud, keep working after you close ChatGPT, pull context from connected apps like Slack, Google Drive, and Salesforce, and ask for approval before sensitive actions like sending an email. It launched as a research preview for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans, free until May 6, 2026, after which credit-based billing applies.

Why it matters

If your team already uses ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, this turns a workflow you do repeatedly into something you can hand off entirely, and manage through a new Agents tab. Worth a look if you're comparing team-facing agent platforms, not urgent for individual users since it isn't available on personal plans.
