OpenAI ‘o’ Leak: What We Know About ChatGPT’s Always-On Assistant Before DevDay

OpenAI may be developing an always-on ChatGPT assistant named "o," according to leaked references. The assistant reportedly has potential email capabilities and could be placed alongside ChatGPT Pro features. However, OpenAI has not confirmed the product, its features, or a release date. The leaked information mentions "o" as an always-on assistant and an email-related configuration field, but it does not provide details on the assistant's functionality.

There is no public evidence of other features beyond the name and email association. OpenAI already offers products like workspace agents and ChatGPT Work that can operate after user interaction, using agents and the Agents API. Therefore, while the leak raises questions about "o," it does not confirm whether it will have similar capabilities or use the same systems.

The leaked email suffix suggests the possibility of email-related functionality, but the specifics remain unclear. OpenAI DevDay is scheduled for September 29, where the assistant, if announced, may be discussed. However, the event schedule does not mention "o," and confirmation of its appearance remains speculative.
