OpenAI has introduced new features for ChatGPT, including interactive panels and file viewers, as well as a Plugin Creator tool. The company has also added MCP Events support for plugin automations.

These updates appear to position ChatGPT as a productivity tool, with features similar to those found in office software suites. According to TechCrunch, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman described a new feature called Space, a shared workspace inside ChatGPT where coworkers can collaborate with the chatbot and AI agent personas, called Dots.

OpenAI has also launched Pages, a word processor designed for human and agent collaboration, and collaborative slides, which can be created with simple text prompts.
