OpenAI is still working on that ‘super app’

4:58 AM IST · June 8, 2026

OpenAI plans to roll out a revamped version of ChatGPT in the coming weeks — one that will serve as a “super app” with coding tools and AI agents,according to the Financial Times. The company’s goal is reportedly to become more competitive with Anthropic, particularly among business customers, and to get closer to profitability before an IPO. That means turning ChatGPT into a gateway leading free users to products they might actually pay for, such as coding product Codex. In fact, the FT quotes one senior OpenAI employee as declaring, “Chat is dead.” Thibault Sottiaux, who leads OpenAI’s core product and platform, said the company is working towards a product “where you have your own personal agent that is capable of helping you … across everything in your life, be it personally or at work.” If this sounds familiar, it’s because there have beenreports about OpenAI’s super app ambitionssince last year. In March, The Wall Street Journal reported that these plansrepresent a major strategy shiftfor the company after launching a variety of standalone products in 2025; OpenAI executives now saythey’re abandoning “side quests” likevideo generator Sora.

Claude Reportedly Accessed Georgia’s Aggregate Vote Counts After Autonomously Bypassing Fee Restriction

The incident reportedly involved aggregate vote counts that the US state makes available for a fee, instead of individual voter records or its voter registration system. Anthropic said the model was not instructed to obtain an access token for the data and has since introduced measures to prevent similar actions.
