Don't just use AI as a chatbot. Have it do your work.

ChatGPT Work is OpenAI's AI agent for knowledge work. It opens the files on your computer, connects to your email and your apps, takes control of your browser, and finishes real tasks while you get on with something else. It doesn't give you an answer and leave the work to you. It does the work.

This crash course takes you from zero to running your own automations with no coding and no technical background. If you can describe a task to a new colleague, you can do everything in this book.

ChatGPT Work (formerly Codex) is a powerful AI and automation productivity tool for working professionals. It is not just another chatbot (e.g. Claude Chat, Gemini) that you type questions into. ChatGPT Work is an AI that actually works on your computer. It can open your files, navigate applications, research across sources, process documents, extract data, and do all of this autonomously while you focus on other things.

By the end of this book, you'll know how to set up ChatGPT Work, delegate real work tasks to it, automate your workflows, and accomplish things that would normally require hiring a new employee or assistant. And you don't need any technical background to follow along. We're going to start from absolute zero, and I'll walk you through each step.

With an AI chatbot such as ChatGPT Chat, Claude, or Gemini, you ask a question and receive an answer. But ChatGPT Work is much more. It is what we call an AI agent able to take action and fundamentally changes the way you work.

What you'll build:

Turn a folder of 1,000+ invoices into a clean spreadsheet for your accountant, and file every PDF by sender in minutes
An email triage agent that sorts your inbox every weekday morning and messages you in Slack only when something genuinely needs you
Hand over your browser: research live data and write it straight into a Google Sheet
Control any application on your computer, not just Chrome
A complete, deployed website - copy, custom images, photo gallery, order form without clicking a single button

Along the way you'll learn:

Skills — the single biggest unlock in ChatGPT Work, and the right way to create, test, and update your own
Plugins and apps — connecting Gmail, Slack, Canva and hundreds more, plus custom MCP servers when no plugin exists
Scheduled tasks — automations that run while you sleep
Parallel sub-agents — splitting work into simultaneous streams for faster, better, less biased results
Usage and limits — how the weekly pool actually works, and how to stretch it
The common mistakes that frustrate new users, and the habits that separate them from people who get real value out of this

Who this book is for: working professionals or anyone drowning in email, processing documents by hand, or rebuilding the same report every week. Every chapter is hands-on, built around real tasks, with no time wasted on theory you don't need.

A note on Codex: ChatGPT Work now lives in the same desktop app as Codex, OpenAI's coding agent, and shares its skills and Computer Use infrastructure. If you've been hearing about Codex and wondering what the version for non-developers looks like, this is it.
