OpenAI is merging the Chat and Work tabs in the ChatGPT desktop app into a single interface, according to an email sent to users.
The company said the combined experience will initially be available to select users for feedback before a wider rollout. “This will enable you to move from exploring an idea to having ChatGPT carry it through, all in one place,” OpenAI stated in the email. “You can bring in your files and plugins and ask ChatGPT to build a website, create a presentation, or do things for you on the web, while reviewing and guiding its work.”
The Codex section will remain separate in the ChatGPT desktop app.
OpenAI said the change means both ChatGPT and Codex will draw tokens from the same allowance pool. While the company expects the shift won’t impact most users, it noted that some users might need to wait for token resets more frequently depending on their usage patterns and model choice.
