OpenAI to Transform ChatGPT into a Superapp Ahead of IPO

OpenAI is planning a major overhaul of its ChatGPT platform in anticipation of a public listing later this year. The company intends to convert the chatbot into a "superapp" that can perform multi‑step tasks through autonomous AI agents, such as booking travel or managing calendars. The redesign will include a new website and mobile interface, integration of third‑party services like Canva and Booking.com, and expanded coding tools, merging the Codex engine with ChatGPT. OpenAI’s 2 million enterprise customers currently generate about 40 % of revenue, a share that could rise to roughly 50 % by year‑end. To focus on this strategy, the firm has paused some consumer‑focused projects, including a recently launched video‑creation tool. The changes are expected to roll out over the next few weeks, according to current and former staff cited by the Financial Times.
