Hi {{First Name|Guys!}}!

The big shift this week:

  • ChatGPT Work turns your desktop into an autonomous agent

  • Fable 5 quietly resets & extends usage just as ChatGPT Work launches

  • US Government is now on every US frontier lab's cap table, calendar, or both

  • One gem to try in Fable 5 before 12th July!

ChatGPT Work

OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Work powered by their latest model GPT 5.6 (Sol, Terra, Luna)

Is this OpenAI’s answer to Claude Cowork? Many people online are saying it looks and feels like Claude’s Cowork.

In saying this (in my opinion), ChatGPT has historically had a better UI/UX, feels alot more intuitive and simple. I do wish it was literally just one app that auto routes based on the question but many may disagree and want more control lol.

The redesigned ChatGPT desktop app for Mac and Windows is free on every plan, including the free tier. It gives you three doors all in ONE app:

  • Chat - the ChatGPT you know (now as a side pop up).

  • Work - a Codex-powered agent that runs autonomously for hours across your apps & files, & produces finished documents, spreadsheets, slides, & web apps

  • Codex - coding, now bundled into the same app

The desktop app has an in-app browser and Computer Use built in meaning agents can drive websites and local apps directly.

As one hands-on review put it: "OpenAI has integrated Codex directly into ChatGPT" (36Kr).

What you can do in ChatGPT Work:

  • Work on the go - Speak in voice to ChatGPT Work on mobile to “Create a slide deck based on your internal Q4 sales in GDrive” or “Every Friday, review new customer feedback and update this recurring report”
    Usually this required an entire set up and is quite fiddly in other AI tools.
    ChatGPT Voice (GPT Live 1 & Live 1 mini) also launched this week which helps with more human conversations

  • Perfect for work - This is model in particular is suited to creating slide decks based on company templates which is great for work. I asked it to use Accenture’s template but add in Harvard’s AI Index report into it, did a pretty nice job! It also allows you to annotate inside to make changes.
    See my video here.

  • Hosted Sites - Instantly build & share websites straight from a Work session with its own URL. See the comparison between Claude’s Fable & GPT 5.6 Sol

  • Plugins - Give it context to work between Slack, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, & CRMs

  • In-app browser - On the ChatGPT desktop app you will be able to access a browser inside so you don’t need to switch tabs

  • Automatically spins up sub agents when needed

How to choose the right starting point:

  • Chat - Use for quick questions, search, brainstorm

  • Work - Research, analysis, multi-step projects, and finished documents, spreadsheets, presentations, reports, or Sites

  • Codex - Coding, repositories, commands, tests, code review, & pull requests

As I’ve mentioned before, OpenAI’s computer use and browser use is one of the best on the market. If there is no plugin or MCP, you can ask ChatGPT Work to access it for you eg. access a landing page and go through everything to reverse engineer a competitors customer flow.

I’m personally using Claude’s Fable 5 as the “brain” or strategist to come up with the master plan but getting Codex/ChatGPT Work to actually do the work - think of it like surgeon hands. Other agents are abit clumsy lol.

Best used on a web browser and mobile at the moment until it rolls out on desktop app (mine is personally still lacking all features on desktop).

This Week’s Scoop

  • OpenAI in early talks to give 5% stake to US Government.

  • Fable 5 extended to 12th July - Paid users get extra time to test before you have to pay under usage credits. 10 ways to use it.

  • Claude Cowork rolling out on web and mobile - Work on your desktop then continue on your mobile even if your laptop is closed

  • SpaceXAI launches Grok 4.5 - Elon says it’s “Opus level” but cheaper & faster

  • Perplexity quietly building “Teammate” to compete with Cursor & Claude Code

  • Salesforce staff confused after promoting competitor “Claude” Tag in Slack -FYI Salesforce owns Slack + already has Agentforce & Slackbot

  • Meta’s new Muse AI Image tool sparked backlash as everyone over 18yo is automatically opted in (allows use of your publicly available Instagram images to generate AI images). While this would be fun and useful for creators like me (I’ve uploaded my images everywhere at this point 🤭), others may not feel comfortable with it so here’s how to opt out.

Try: ONE thing to do with Fable 5 (if you’re time poor)

This was a quick win if you have to run one thing in Fable 5 before July 12!
It basically reviews all your Claude Code usage to see where it can fix your workflow, review all your skills, hooks etc and see where you are misusing it - then implement!


/goal run the /insights slash command and analyze my claude code usage for as far back as insights goes. Identify all the improvements, workflows, skills, slash commands, and hooks I should be using as well as where I am misusing claude code or getting bogged down by bad habits. Prepare all the new skills, slash commands, hooks, and lessons for me to review. look both deep and wide across my claude code use to pull out broad themes and lessons but also deep, insightful skills and claude commands that would benefit me.

Once it gives you an answer (you will love the layout of the output!), paste the next prompt in to give you ideas on how else it can help you + exposed my bad habits 😭

Okay, so you've looked across the insights. You've looked across all the work I'm doing, all the Claude code Claude code terminals I'm running, all my workflows. What else should I be working on? What else should I be using you for?

Found this gem from ThinkwithV

That’s all for this week!😊

Cheers,

Nat
