OpenAI Launches Shared Workspace Agents in ChatGPT for Teams
OpenAI is now launching workspace agents in ChatGPT for Business, Enterprise, and Edu users. These Codex-powered agents allow teams to automate complex workflows and share knowledge securely within their organisation.
What happened?
OpenAI has launched workspace agents in ChatGPT for businesses and educational institutions. The feature enables teams to create and share specialised AI agents capable of performing complex tasks and long-running workflows. The agents are powered by the Codex code model and have access to the organisation's collective knowledge, templates, and connected tools under centrally managed permissions.

| Underliggande modell | OpenAI Codex |
Why it matters
Workspace agents represent an evolution of OpenAI’s earlier GPT concept. By integrating the Codex model and enabling connections to external files and applications, the agents can perform more autonomous and compound tasks directly within a company's existing IT environments, streamlining administrative and development work.
Who is affected?
The launch affects companies, government agencies, and educational institutions using ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu. Administrators gain control over permissions and data access, while employees and team members can automate recurring tasks such as report writing, coding, and messaging.
Impact on the EU
Workspace agents are available globally, including within the EU, for all users with ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu subscriptions. The service is subject to the same privacy and data security rules and administrative controls as other ChatGPT business services.
What else you should know
The new agents are based on Codex technology, allowing them to handle more advanced code generation and data analysis comparable to developer tools. The launch marks a clear shift from simple prompt-based GPTs to more autonomous and integrated workflow agents.
