OpenAI, the US-based company, is preparing major reforms for its ChatGPT chatbot ahead of its initial public offering (IPO) on the stock market.
According to Oxu.Az, company manager Thibault Sottio stated this in an interview with the Financial Times.
He said the company intends to transform the chatbot into a "super app" by integrating it with programming tools and AI agents.
"We aim to give you a personal agent that can help you in all areas of your life, both personal and professional," Sottio noted.
The newspaper reports that OpenAI is increasingly focusing on the Codex programming tool. The company believes the future of AI lies not in simple chatbots that answer questions, but in agents that perform various tasks for users.
OpenAI management thinks AI agents capable of handling tasks from booking travel to planning daily schedules will have greater value than ordinary chatbots.
According to the publication, implementation of the changes will begin in the coming weeks. Users of ChatGPT's web version and mobile app will be able to use programming and image creation tools, as well as integrate third-party partner apps like Canva and Booking.com into the process.
The newspaper added that OpenAI prefers users to work increasingly with a single AI assistant rather than a collection of separate apps. This is why the company earlier abandoned the development of the Sora model for video generation as a separate product.
OpenAI believes that in the future, the boundaries between chatbots, programming tools, search products, and other service categories will gradually disappear.
