GoKawiilOpenAI code references hint at new 'o' always-on ChatGPT assistant
Brief references to a feature called "o, your always-on assistant" appeared temporarily in listings for OpenAI's $100 ChatGPT Pro plan before being removed. Configuration details spotted by users on X included a display name of "o" and an email suffix of "-o", suggesting some email-related function. OpenAI has not confirmed or denied working on the feature.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The email suffix reference suggests the assistant could operate independently of active user sessions, potentially handling tasks like email in the background, though OpenAI's exact plans remain unknown. OpenAI's upcoming DevDay on September 29 could be a likely venue for further details, given the company's history of unveiling new tools there.
