• An internal strategy paper reveals that OpenAI aims to develop ChatGPT into a personalized assistant by mid-2025, helping users with daily tasks, providing expertise such as programming knowledge, and performing actions online.
  • To achieve this, OpenAI plans to use its own reasoning models and introduce new tools like “Computer Use,” expanding ChatGPT’s features with multimodal capabilities and generative user interfaces; a proprietary search index could serve as a key component.
  • OpenAI wants ChatGPT to stand apart from search engines and operating systems as its own product category, identifying short-term competition from other AI chatbots and long-term competition from search services, browsers, and even human interactions.
