OpenAI launches ChatGPT Work: a new desktop agent

Welcome back, Superhuman. OpenAI has made serious progress on that “AI superapp” it’s been hinting at for months, revealing two major product launches yesterday. Plus, Meta shipped something so important that CEO Mark Zuckerberg broke a three-year silence on X to announce it himself.

Today: OpenAI’s new cross-device agent, how to turn your PDFs into a Claude skill, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. OpenAI launches ChatGPT Work, powered by GPT-5.6: ChatGPT Work is OpenAI’s new agent that can take actions across your computer or phone to get work done, pulling context from other files to match your style. The AI lab claims it can focus on a single project for hours. It’s rolling out now, along with a brand-new desktop app that bundles ChatGPT, Work, and Codex under one roof (free for all plans). Try ChatGPT Work or see how teams use it.

2. Meta debuts first paid model, pivoting from its open-weight strategy: Muse Spark 1.1 is Meta’s new multimodal reasoning model, built for agentic tasks, coding, and computer use — and for the first time, Meta is charging for it. AI chief Alexandr Wang called the pricing “very aggressive and attractive” when compared to other frontier models. The pivot comes as Wall Street pressures Meta to justify its massive AI infrastructure spend.

3. PromptQL relaunches as a multiplayer AI coworker: PromptQL is repositioning itself as "the first AI version of Slack,” giving teams a shared AI agent that operates across a common thread, helps get work done, and can run on any frontier LLM. One key feature is memory: the tool turns every correction into a reusable skill — so it learns and improves from its mistakes over time. The startup has raised $136M to date, and its relaunch video went viral with 2M+ views. Learn more here.

You spend 3 minutes a day learning what AI can do. Viktor spends all day actually doing it. Viktor is the AI employee that lives in your Slack and Microsoft Teams. Give it a goal and it runs the whole job end to end: pulls the data, drafts the report, chases the people who owe you answers, and hands back finished work ready to send.

Not another chatbot you have to prompt. A teammate that ships, connected to 3,000+ tools you already use and backed by a $75M round. No new headcount to hire. Hand off the busywork and get your mornings back.

OpenAI upgraded ChatGPT’s voice and released its new flagship model publicly. The AI lab launched GPT-Live, a new family of voice models that listen and speak at the same time, making chatting with ChatGPT sound much more human-like. It's rolling out now inside ChatGPT. Separately, the lab’s GPT-5.6 model family went public after the US Commerce Department lifted a weeks-long restriction.

Anthropic gave us a look inside Claude’s brain, updated Cowork, and extended Fable. Fresh research revealed that Claude has a hidden thinking space where it reasons through ideas without ever spelling them out in its chain-of-thought (video here). The lab said this mirrors the human brain: similar to how you might chat about one topic while thinking about another. Also, Claude Cowork now works across devices, and access to Claude Fable 5 has been extended through July 12.

Meta's Superintelligence Labs dropped three new models. Muse Image — which is ranked #3 on Arena's text-to-image board — debuted across Meta AI, Instagram Stories, and WhatsApp. Meta is also teasing Muse Video ahead of a wider release, and dropped Muse Spark 1.1, a low-cost agentic coding model now on its new Meta Model API.

Chinese labs ramped up the competition. Tencent shipped Hy3, a smaller open-source model that punches above its weight, while Meituan fully open-sourced LongCat-2.0 — billed as the first trillion-parameter coding model trained without Nvidia GPUs. The trend: Chinese models continue to rival US labs’ model performance at a cheaper cost.

“Use the skill-creator to build a skill from the uploaded PDF. Activate when I ask Claude to [exact task]. Core steps: [paste]. Rules: [paste]. Mistakes to avoid: [paste]. Questions used: [paste]. Success looks like: [paste]. Do not use for: [2–3 unrelated tasks]. Ask me anything missing before generating the SKILL.md, then score the skill out of 10.”

AI adoption is failing at your company because your team is stuck with tools that never learn. Caestro lets you hire agents like a regular employee and run them on company memory we build and maintain for you.
