OpenAI is preparing a sweeping redesign of its flagship chatbot, set to arrive in the next few weeks. The new version will move beyond conversational AI, adding coding tools, image generation and partner apps like Canva and Booking.com. The change signals a push toward a super app model for enterprises and developers alike daily.

Initially unveiled by the Financial Times, the overhaul will first modify the ChatGPT website and mobile interface. OpenAI aims to attract larger firms by turning the chatbot into a multi‑function workspace. By integrating tools that automate routine tasks, the company hopes to boost revenue from corporate clients ahead of a potential IPO in September this.

Earlier reports linked the update to OpenAI’s broader strategy of unifying ChatGPT, its browser, and Codex into a single desktop experience. The company launched an app directory that auto‑connects to services like Spotify and Dropbox. The new super app could solidify OpenAI’s market position against rivals such as Anthropic, which plans a public listing this.

Consumers will notice the shift first through subtle UI tweaks that bundle new features into a single sidebar. Enterprise users can immediately start embedding the chat into workflows, while developers gain access to an expanded API that supports image and code generation. The rollout underscores OpenAI’s shift from a hobby chatbot to a full‑stack productivity engine.
