OpenAI is reportedly working on a desktop “superapp” that will merge ChatGPT, Codex AI, and its Atlas browser into a single app for desktops. The mobile app isn’t changing.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the company is making the change as part of an effort to simplify its focus, which was first reported last week.
According to a memo cited by the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI’s CEO of Applications, Fidji Simo, has noted that the current “fragmentation” of its products has “been slowing us down and making it harder to hit the quality bar we want.”
Last week, we learned that OpenAI leaders are looking into deprioritizing a few things, with Simo telling employees last week to avoid being “distracted by side quests.”
Now, OpenAI has been making a lot of moves recently, such as bringing ads to ChatGPT, introducing the AI image generation tool Sora, and purchasing Jony Ive’s AI hardware company.
