OpenAI is reportedly working on a productivity suite that would be directly integrated into ChatGPT. These tools would enable users to edit documents, communicate by chat and manage tasks, similar to what's offered by well-known software suites such as Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
The rumour originated from an article in The Information, which reports that OpenAI has quietly developed AI-powered productivity features capable of competing with the top software suites on the market.
OpenAI is reportedly working on adding the ability to create and collaborate in real time on exportable documents directly within ChatGPT, with chat and direct connection to professional tools. According to The Information, OpenAI is already testing these tools with a small number of users.
Although no such features have been announced yet, it is already possible to edit documents, text, code, or even tables, then download them in Word or PDF format using the Canvas feature integrated into ChatGPT, which is now available to all. To access it, simply select "Write or code” from the tools offered by ChatGPT (on a computer). You can then create and edit a document before downloading it, if necessary.
In general, by placing artificial intelligence at the heart of creation and collaboration, OpenAI is focusing on a more fluid and intuitive experience than traditional tools. A complete suite of office and collaborative tools designed for businesses could be launched by the end of 2025 or early 2026. OpenAI, which already claims to have more than three million paying professional users, would thus position itself as a serious competitor to Microsoft and Google – despite the fact that these two giants have already integrated AI into their software suites.
OpenAI is therefore continuing to expand its field of activity. In addition to its AI chatbot, OpenAI is reportedly working on a web browser with advanced and AI-powered features. Finally, the publisher recently acquired the startup io, founded by designer Jony Ive, with the aim of integrating AI into innovative and disruptive devices. – AFP Relaxnews
