OpenAI is preparing to launch a significantly revamped version of ChatGPT within the next few weeks, transforming the chatbot into what the company is internally calling a "super app," according to a Financial Times report. The new version will integrate coding tools and AI agents, with the strategic aim of competing more aggressively against rival Anthropic, particularly in the lucrative enterprise market, and steering the company toward profitability ahead of a potential IPO. Rather than remaining a standalone chatbot, ChatGPT will increasingly function as a gateway that funnels free users toward monetizable products, including OpenAI's coding offering Codex. The shift is being driven in part by a blunt internal assessment of the company's product direction. One senior OpenAI employee told the Financial Times, "Chat is dead," signaling that leadership no longer views conversational AI as the central product in itself, but rather as a launching point for a broader suite of services. Thibault Sottiaux, who heads OpenAI's core product and platform teams, elaborated on the vision, describing a future product built around "your own personal agent that is capable of helping you … across everything in your life, be it personally or at work." This isn't the first indication of OpenAI's super app ambitions. Back in March, The Wall Street Journal reported that the company was undergoing a major strategic pivot after spending 2025 launching a variety of standalone products, and executives have since publicly confirmed they are winding down what they now describe as "side quests" — a category that includes the Sora video generation tool. The consolidation effort reflects a recognition that spreading resources across disconnected products was diluting focus, and that a unified, agent-driven platform offers a clearer path to the recurring revenue and user engagement that public market investors will demand once the company goes public.
