The company will integrate its consumer and professional interfaces into a single platform this coming week. OpenAI will unveil this unification of ChatGPT and Work, along with the launch of Astra 6.1, as part of 3 major releases at its DevDay event on Tuesday. These debuts include the official introduction of "o," an always-on AI agent designed to function as a persistent, cloud-based assistant for continuous task management.

The "o" agent competes with xAI's Grok Bot and Meta's Muse, offering access to all Pro subscription tiers, including the $100 level. Software builds from September 26 reveal internal aliases for the project, such as "dots," "orbit," and "aeon," while config files suggest it will support email handling via a "-o" suffix. Other announced additions include a shared message board for agents and a Cerebras-powered "Fast Mode" for the $500 subscription plan.
