OpenAI launches Workspace Agents, shared AI teammates for teams

Your move: Research preview for Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans

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.
