⏱ 9 min video · 2 min read10 Jul 2026
TL;DR
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work, a non-technical agentic AI platform powered by GPT-5.6 that directly rivals Claude's Cowork feature. The video breaks down what ChatGPT Work offers, how it compares to Claude Cowork, and whether Claude users should switch — with a live demo of migrating skills between platforms.
Key points
1
ChatGPT Work is OpenAI's answer to Claude Cowork — a non-technical agentic interface powered by the new GPT-5.6 model, available on web, mobile, and desktop apps.
2
Skills from Claude Cowork (stored as .md files) can be downloaded and uploaded directly into ChatGPT Work, making migration straightforward.
3
ChatGPT Work uses the same core feature set as Claude Cowork: skills (automations), sites (equivalent to Claude's live artifacts), and scheduled tasks.
4
ChatGPT has native image generation built in, giving it an advantage over Claude Cowork which requires an external connector (e.g. Higgsfield) for image tasks.
5
Zapier MCP can be used to connect ChatGPT Work to 9,000+ apps that are not natively available as plugins, mirroring how it works in Claude.
Actionable insights
→
Download your Claude Cowork skill .md files and upload them directly to ChatGPT Work under the Skills section — they work without modification.
→
Use the Zapier MCP server to connect ChatGPT Work to apps not listed in its native plugins library, just as you would with Claude.
→
You do not need to fully commit to one platform — skills and scheduled tasks are portable, so you can switch based on whichever model is most capable at any given time.
Notable quotes
“If you ever did want to switch from Cowork to Work, it is very simple to do because they work fundamentally the same.”
“Have I wasted the last 6 months building inside of Claude Cowork since ChatGPT Work is now out? And to answer that question very simply — no.”
“I personally am probably going to stick to using the Claude ecosystem since I just like the way it works.”
