## Definition

**_ChatGPT Work_** is the section of OpenAI's merged **ChatGPT** desktop app that presents the model with the code hidden, making agentic workflows accessible to non-technical users. It sits alongside **ChatGPT Codex** — the same underlying model shown in a programming-like view — and is where the channel positions GPT-5.6 (Sol) as the everyday surface for knowledge work.

**_ChatGPT Work_** names one of the two sections inside OpenAI's merged **ChatGPT** desktop app. OpenAI combined the previously separate ChatGPT and Codex desktop applications into a single app, and the merged app is split into **ChatGPT Work** and **ChatGPT Codex**. [^cb24ef4d-a000-5560-8446-9ed871f58aa8@65]In the channel's coverage, the two sections are described as *basically the same thing under the hood* — the same model in two presentations. [^f61c605a-a560-515b-8111-60dc76be4fc5@100] The difference is presentation: **ChatGPT Work hides the code**, so non-technical people can use the same agentic workflows that programmers use, while **ChatGPT Codex** presents everything in a more programming-like way.- It is the environment where **GPT-5.6 (Sol)** is positioned as the *gold standard for knowledge work* — the everyday surface for writing, coding, and data work. [^cb24ef4d-a000-5560-8446-9ed871f58aa8@65] - The channel's reviewers used it to run agentic loops — set the rails, let the agent do the work, review, and iterate — with cheap reviews and quick iterations across **parallel workflows**. [^cb24ef4d-a000-5560-8446-9ed871f58aa8@730] - It is framed as the first place **non-programmers** can genuinely run a programmer-style approach to intellectual work: *“I believe this model offers a new approach to intellectual work, familiar to programmers, but now available to everyone in ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT Codeex.”* [^f61c605a-a560-515b-8111-60dc76be4fc5@4]- **ChatGPT Work** is one of two sections in the merged ChatGPT desktop app, alongside **ChatGPT Codex**. - Both sections run the same model; Work simply **hides the code** for non-technical users. - In the channel's testing, it is the surface where GPT-5.6 (Sol) delivers fast, iterative knowledge work. - It opens programmer-style agentic workflows to people who don't write code.
