Thoughts on the "ChatGPT + Codex = ChatGPT Work" app Some background, I've been using our internal Slack bot for the past couple of weeks and I feel convinced that Claude Cowork and ChatGPT Work are the wrong type of product. 1. People will naturally use an agent where they already do work (Slack or Teams), as opposed to building a habit around a new app. 2. The agent is only as good as the tools and data it has access to, and there's quite a bit of friction in setting that up. It's way better for somebody on your team to do that once, as opposed to, every single person having to do that for their desktop agent. 3. The desktop agent has a clear advantage though with computer use. And while that is powerful, most knowledge work is now done in the cloud. So oddly the desktop agent is better for people that mostly do their work on their local machine, ie, developers. On that note, merging Codex and ChatGPT to create ChatGPT Work feels like the wrong move on multiple counts. It dilutes two previously focused products (ChatGPT and Codex) to create one convoluted app, that I don't think is the right form factor to begin with.
