“Chat is dead,” said one senior OpenAI employee. The company intends to transform the chatbot into a “superapp” that combines coding tools and AI agents, adding products that executives believe will generate more revenue. https://www.ft.com/...

The first wave likely won't be one big launch, but a phased redesign pushing users toward Codex, agents, image generation, and partner apps. As one OpenAI employee told the FT: “Chat is dead”, the new goal is a single AI assistant that can act across your work and personal life.
