Summary
Riley Brown delivers a 61-minute comprehensive walkthrough of ChatGPT Work, OpenAI’s agent-powered productivity layer built on top of the Codex desktop app. The video breaks down 14 distinct capabilities, from generating McKenzie-style research presentations (with one demo spanning 13 minutes and 33 seconds of autonomous web browsing across 87 sources) to creating spreadsheets, editing videos, and building deployable websites.
The tutorial covers practical workflows across web, desktop, and iOS, demonstrating how ChatGPT Work uses a cloud computer to execute long-running tasks inside a side panel. Specific integrations shown include deploying projects to Vercel via a native plugin, purchasing custom domains through Namecheap, and inline image editing using the GPT Image 2 model — including real-time iteration on generated thumbnails without restarting the prompt.
Brown positions ChatGPT Work as OpenAI’s answer to Claude Code and Claude’s computer-use features, arguing it is more accessible to non-developers. The video is aimed at business users who want to understand where ChatGPT Work fits relative to other AI agent tools and how to incorporate it into day-to-day knowledge work across document creation, web publishing, and media production.
