100-word summary
OpenAI just launched workspace agents that automate entire workflows across ChatGPT and Slack. The first concrete claim: sales tasks that used to eat 5–6 hours a week now run automatically in the background on every deal. These aren't chatbots. They're shareable, cloud-based agents that connect to dozens of tools, remember context, and can trigger actions across Google Drive, Slack, and SharePoint. You build them from templates (finance, sales, marketing), test with a prompt, then publish to your team. Free until May 6 for Business and Enterprise users, then credit-based pricing kicks in. The real shift: repetitive team processes become reusable software that gets smarter as people use it.
