This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life.
There's a viral new product from OpenAI that's melting servers and surging in popularity right now. It's called ChatGPT Work, and it's new on both desktop and the web, though they're kind of different products there. So the company launched JetGPT work last week in conjunction with their new GPT-56 model, and it seems the current AI conversation among non-technical users is legit swarming around this new product push. So much so that OpenAI says they've literally added 2 million new users over the past two days, which for a company that's been around commercially for like three and a half years, launching a new product line and adding 2 million new users is kind of unheard of. So what is it? Well, ChatGPT work is technically not new at all because it's just Codex for beginners, which I think is actually a great thing, though there are still some minute differences.
So what's the point of this new ChatGPT work on desktop? How is it different than ChatGPT on the web? And should you just use Codex instead? Well, we're going to be answering those questions and a lot more on today's Everyday AI. But let's put AI to work on Wednesdays. That's what we do. And here is the big picture of what's going on. OpenAI, well, with the new ChatGPT work, they just kept Codex's core agent capabilities and changed the doorway.
What is ChatGPT Work and why did OpenAI's launch add 2 million users?
So it's easier for people to enter in. They don't see the word code and they're like, oh my gosh, this is scary. It's not for me. ChatGPT for work? Wait, I work. I know ChatGPT. It just made sense. So work kind of removes that developer-first framing that Codex had, and it emphasizes finished business deliverables. And the response shows that non-coders were maybe just waiting for permission to use it. So on today's show, here's what you're going to learn. You're going to know what OpenAI announced and why millions of people immediately paid attention. You're going to know what changed from Codex, what stayed and why the backlash online is kind of missing the point. And you're going to know how desktop work and web chat GPT work.
Yeah, they're different. So there's a chat GPT work desktop and a chat GPT work on the web. You're going to know how they differ, how they're same and which one you should probably use. All right, let's get into it. Welcome to Everyday AI. My name is Jordan Wilson and well, we do this every day. This is your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter helping everyday business leaders like you and me not just keep up with AI, but how to use all these tools to get ahead to grow your company and your career. uh so i i always say like your everyday ai fyi because you all tell me what to do um you know i put a poll in the newsletter at least once or twice a week i let you all change the show so for people out there maybe complaining like oh you're covering too much open ai chat gpt well you voted for it right if i'm being honest there was two products that i wanted to cover on today's show i wanted to cover the new gpt live voice mode on the phone and i wanted to cover uh claude design
But you all wanted Chad GPT to work, which is great because I technically have been using Codex for like 12 hours a day for the last five months anyways. So let's get into it. And if you haven't already, please go to our website at youreverydayai.com. We're going to be recapping the highlights from today's show and all the other AI news you need to know to stay ahead. So Chad GPT, work. Simple name, a lot of confusion over the rollout and that's okay. And let me actually just address that first before we go live and we go hands on. There was a lot of backlash and people were confused because when you went to update Codex as an example, it looked like Codex was broken and then it started downloading something called ChatGBT and people were like, what the heck is going on?
