OpenAI is preparing to transform the well-known AI chatbot ChatGPT into a “AI super assistant” that is familiar with the user and serves as their primary internet gateway.
In an internal strategy document published as part of the legal discovery process in the Google search antitrust action launched by the US Department of Justice, the Microsoft-backed AI firm revealed its ambitions for ChatGPT’s future.
The 2024 document “ChatGPT: H1 2025 Strategy” has been severely censored. According to an article by media, it demonstrates that OpenAI intends to create a “AI super assistant that deeply understands you and is your interface to the internet.”
“Today, ChatGPT is in our lives through existing form factors — our website, phone, and desktop apps. But our vision for ChatGPT is to help you with all of your life, no matter where you are. At home, it should help answer questions, play music, and suggest recipes. On the go, it should help you get to places, find the best restaurants, or catch up with friends. At work, it should help you take meeting notes, or prepare for the big presentation. And on solo walks, it should help you reflect and wind down,” the document reads.
According to reports, the document’s unredacted sections imply that OpenAI plans to turn ChatGPT from an AI tool into a companion. It also shows that the business thinks hardware will be essential to ChatGPT’s larger plan.
Despite the difficulties and setbacks of other companies in the field, OpenAI has been taking the development of an AI-powered device very seriously for a number of years. The business said last week that it will pay $6.4 billion in all-equity to acquire io, a firm that develops AI products and was founded by former Apple executive Jony Ive.
What else does the document say?
“In the first half of next year, we’ll start evolving ChatGPT into a super-assistant: one that knows you, understands what you care about, and helps with any task that a smart, trustworthy, emotionally intelligent person with a computer could do,” the document reads.
“The timing is right. Models like 02 and 03 are finally smart enough to reliably perform agentic tasks, tools like computer use can boost ChatGPT’s ability to take action, and interaction paradigms like multimodality and generative UI allow both ChatGPT and users to express themselves in the best way for the task,” it adds.
An AI super helper, according to OpenAI, is “an intelligent entity with T-shaped skills” for both general-purpose and specialized jobs like coding. According to the paper, “the broad part is all about making life easier: answering a question, finding a home, getting in touch with a lawyer, joining a gym, organizing vacations, purchasing gifts, managing calendars, taking note of to-do lists, and sending emails.”
There are “powerful incumbents who will leverage their distribution to advantage their own products,” as OpenAI has already admitted. According to the statement, the business would back legislation requiring other platforms to let customers choose ChatGPT as their primary helper.
“We have what we need to win: one of the fastest-growing products of all time, a category-defining brand, a research lead (reasoning, multimodal), a compute lead, a world-class research team, and an increasing number of effective people with agency who are motivated to ship,” as per the document.
“We don’t rely on ads, giving us flexibility on what to build. Our culture values speed, bold moves, and self-disruption. Maintaining these advantages is hard work but, if we do, they will last for a while,” it further states.
