OpenAI wants small businesses to treat ChatGPT as an extra employee, not just a chatbot. The company on Tuesday launched a program built around ChatGPT Work, its agent for tasks that go beyond simple Q&A.
The initiative bundles webinars on using the tool for accounting, marketing and eCommerce with in-person Academy events offering hands-on exercises. It also includes partner plugins, discounts and a library of customer stories and interactive guides, OpenAI said in a press release.
“We’re most excited for small businesses to explore use cases with ChatGPT Work, and let it take on tasks that would have otherwise been outsourced, fallen to the wayside, or handled as one of the many hats an owner has to tackle,” the company said.
ChatGPT Work launched July 9 as a new agent in ChatGPT, designed to operate across a user's apps and files. OpenAI described it as capable of spending hours on a project and producing sheets, slides, docs and web apps. The SMB push is an attempt to get that capability into a segment that typically lacks dedicated IT staff and budgets for enterprise software.
