OpenAI to Transform ChatGPT into Multi‑Function Superapp

OpenAI announced plans to overhaul ChatGPT, turning it into a comprehensive platform that hosts a range of tools and services beyond simple text dialogue. The redesign will feature enhanced developer utilities, such as the Codex code‑assistant, and AI agents capable of handling complex tasks, with integrations to external providers like Canva and Booking.com. The company aims to boost revenue by attracting more advanced users and expanding its substantial business‑customer base, which already accounts for about 40 % of its earnings. With more than 900 million weekly active users and over 50 million paid subscribers, OpenAI sees the new “superapp” as a way to deepen engagement ahead of a possible initial public offering, though no IPO date has been set.
