OpenAI launches Workspace Agent, automating tasks based on Codex

OpenAI has launched a research preview of a Codex-based ChatGPT workspace agent for Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers users.

The agent can keep running in the cloud to handle tasks like report writing, coding, and replying to messages.

It also supports Slack integration and admin-level permission controls for safer enterprise use.

The move could help companies automate routine work and complex workflows with managed AI agents, improving efficiency and standardization.
