OpenAI, a top AI firm, is rumoured to be rolling out the biggest update to its widely-used chatbot, ChatGPT, since its inception.
The Financial Times reports that the company intends to develop ChatGPT into a “super app” that will combine advanced coding tools, AI-driven chatbots, and more productivity features.
The upcoming overhaul is part of OpenAI’s broader efforts to create new business opportunities and solidify its presence in the booming AI industry.
The company aims to build ChatGPT into a comprehensive tool by enhancing its features, such as making it more useful for businesses and a hub for AI-driven tasks.
According to the Financial Times report, based on reports from over a dozen current and former OpenAI employees, these changes are part of a broader restructuring across the company.

The company is turning its focus more towards its corporate and enterprise customer base, which it expects will be a source of significant revenue in the near future.
The move follows, as OpenAI is dealing with growing competition from other AI firms, particularly Anthropic, another AI company.
The two companies are competing to gain more market share in enterprise AI, where companies have been investing heavily in AI tools to boost efficiency and productivity.
The report further suggests that OpenAI intends to do a big revenue boost prior to a possible future share listing.
The company’s aim is to solidify its financial standing and remain at the forefront of the rapidly growing AI sector by making ChatGPT a more comprehensive super app and attracting companies.
