OpenAI starts merging ChatGPT's Chat and Work tabs into one interface
An email to users says the combined interface will be tested with a small group first so work-mode features run inside the chat; Codex stays a separate product, and TechCrunch reports ChatGPT and Codex will draw on a shared usage allowance.
Why it matters
Folding work-mode features into the main chat simplifies ChatGPT for most users and pushes more of them toward agent-style tasks. TechCrunch's report of a shared usage allowance between ChatGPT and Codex matters as much as the design, because heavier agent work draws down the same limits. The change is being tested with a small group first. Watch for the wider rollout and the exact allowance terms.
