Chat and Work Unite, Bringing Their Usage Meter to the Meeting
· New York time
OpenAI plans to merge the Chat and Work tabs in its ChatGPT desktop app, first offering the new experience to select users for feedback before a wider rollout. The company says ChatGPT and Codex will draw usage from the same allocation pool after the change. The current app has separate ChatGPT and Codex sections, and the ChatGPT section has its own Chat and Work tabs. That arrangement can make it difficult to remember where a project lives. OpenAI says the combined experience will let users move from exploring an idea to having ChatGPT carry it through in one place, with their files brought along. The change is a practical attempt to make a complicated product easier to navigate. It also puts two activities under a shared usage allocation. People who move between conversation and coding will have one less interface boundary to cross, but they will still need to keep track of how much of their allowance remains. A single workspace might spare a user the daily expedition through overlapping tabs. It cannot make every project simple, but it can at least stop the interface from adding a small navigation test before the work begins. The tabs are being consolidated; the bill for activity is coming to the same meeting.
