Our founder Gianluca got early access and put it through a real test, editing a client proposal from his phone on the way to dinner, then turning an overnight holiday research task into a full interactive website. His verdict: ChatGPT Work isn't a big leap in raw intelligence over Claude Cowork, but it strips away enough friction that a much bigger crowd will actually use it.

That's the real story here. Anthropic proved agentic work could exist, OpenAI is about to hand a simpler version of it to over a billion people. Gianluca's bigger worry is the widening gap between companies that already know how to use AI well and those that haven't bought a single license yet. Agentic work also burns through tokens fast, so budgeting and teaching people to spend that budget wisely is quickly becoming its own skill.

His full breakdown, with screenshots of the AI-built travel site, is linked in the From Our Channels section below.

There isn't much to unpack here, it reads more like a support article than real news. But zoom out and it tells a story. Atlas was one of OpenAI's bets that AI could go head to head with search and browsing directly. That bet didn't stick.

Now the features are folding into ChatGPT, and OpenAI's energy is clearly shifting toward work and enterprise instead.

This feels like smart branding as much as a product feature. Where OpenAI's pitch has leaned toward "you don't need much skill, AI handles it," Anthropic is doing the opposite: telling people they still matter, and that how you use AI shapes what you get out of it. We especially liked that question about what you'd want to keep doing yourself. That's close to what we've been asking people in our bootcamps for years, so it's nice to see one of the leading AI labs land on a similar idea.

There's practical value too. Most people never touch features like Projects or Skills once they're comfortable with the basic chat, and a dashboard that notices your patterns and nudges you toward better tools could actually change that. It also taps into something people already like, the same instinct behind screen time or fitness trackers.

That said, requiring Memory to be switched on is a real adoption hurdle, and it's fair to note this also doubles as a way to keep people more engaged with the product, not just more reflective about it.
