ChatGPT Work is gradually rolling out to eligible accounts over the coming days. If you don't see ChatGPT Work in your account yet, your account may not have access yet. Availability will continue to expand as the rollout progresses.
The new ChatGPT desktop app combines Chat, ChatGPT Work, and Codex on macOS and Windows. Follow the steps for the app you use today.
If you already use the Codex app
Update the Codex app as usual. After the update, it becomes the new ChatGPT desktop app with Chat, Work, and Codex.
Existing Codex tasks and projects should remain after the update. The updated app opens in Codex for existing Codex users. You can keep Codex as the default when the app opens and choose the Codex app icon in settings.
If you already use the ChatGPT desktop app
Follow the prompt in the app to download the new ChatGPT desktop app. Then sign in with the same ChatGPT account.
The new app may install alongside your current app. If both remain installed, you will see:
ChatGPT: The new app with Chat, Work, and Codex.
ChatGPT Classic: The previous ChatGPT desktop app. You can continue using it; no migration is required at launch. It continues to receive model updates, bug fixes, security patches, and support for its existing Enterprise capabilities. New agent features may be available only in the new app.
If you are installing ChatGPT for the first time
Download the ChatGPT desktop app for your operating system, open it, and sign in.
What changes in the new app?
Chat: Ask questions, search, and have conversations.
Work: Research, analyze information, and create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, reports, and Sites.
Codex: Develop software with local files, repositories, terminals, and developer tools.
Chat conversations sync between ChatGPT web and the desktop app. At launch, cloud Work conversations do not appear in desktop Work; desktop Work threads and local files remain on that computer. Codex is not a selectable mode on web or mobile, but supported desktop Codex tasks can be accessed from the Remote tab in the ChatGPT mobile app.
