OpenAI Launches Workspace Agents for Business Automation

Apr 23, 2026

OpenAI launched workspace agents for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans, introducing cloud-based autonomous agents capable of performing business tasks and running continuously without user supervision. The feature represents an evolution from custom GPTs to full workflow automation, with demonstrations including an agent that finds product feedback on the web and sends Slack reports, and a sales agent that drafts Gmail follow-up emails. The launch coincides with OpenAI hiring Peter Steinberger, founder of the viral AI agent OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot and Moltbot), which marketed itself as the AI that actually does things. The workspace agents mark OpenAI's push into enterprise automation, enabling businesses to deploy autonomous AI workers for routine tasks.
