OpenAI just shipped workspace agents for ChatGPT, and it's their most serious play for enterprise workflows yet. These Codex-powered agents run in the cloud, running AI agents like Codex in parallel, work asynchronously, and can operate across tools like Slack, CRMs, and internal systems. You describe a workflow, and ChatGPT walks you through turning it into a shared agent your whole team can use. They run on schedules. Keep working when you log off. Remember context across sessions. Tools like Hydra automatically manage context transfer through clipboard, letting developers maintain workflow without manual context copying or re-explanation. Available now in research preview for Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans.
