ChatGPT as we know it — an input box with an answer below — may be about to change a lot. According to the Financial Times, OpenAI is preparing the biggest overhaul of the chatbot in its history, aiming to turn it into a superapp: a single window holding AI agents, coding tools, image generation, and third-party services.
The point of the change is to move ChatGPT away from plain question-and-answer and into an app layer that reads what a person actually needs and routes tasks to the right tools. More room would go to Codex, agent workflows, and partner services.
OpenAI has already launched partner apps inside ChatGPT — early ones included Canva, Booking.com, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow. The update is meant to pull all of that into one coherent interface rather than a scattered set of features. Per the FT, the redesign will start rolling out on the website and mobile apps in the coming weeks.
Behind the plan sits a wider reorganization. OpenAI is shifting resources toward enterprise clients and sharpening its fight with Anthropic — and a superapp also serves revenue: the more paid use cases, the stronger the business looks ahead of a listing. The company still hasn't named an IPO date, though; Sam Altman has repeatedly said it will go public when the timing makes sense.
If the idea works, ChatGPT stops being merely a clever conversationalist and becomes the thing people actually get things done in — from design to booking hotels. One open question remains: whether a single window turns into an overloaded everything-machine, and whether users will want to trust one app with all of it at once.
