The Information reports OpenAI is developing new AI agent features to directly
compete with SpaceX’s Grok Bot and Meta’s personal AI assistants. Insiders say
the work targets persistent, background ‘assistant teams’ that can handle
multi‑step tasks, manage software and collaborate — mirroring Grok Bot’s
capabilities. OpenAI is also discussing a standalone personal assistant to
counter Meta. The company may repackage and rename existing agent technology
used in Codex and ChatGPT to accelerate deployment. Some users already connect
OpenAI apps to email, calendars and other services to auto‑schedule meetings,
liaise with businesses and run multi‑day automated tasks.
