OpenAI is harboring ambitious plans to radically transform ChatGPT from an advanced chatbot into a fully-fledged "AI super assistant." According to an internal strategy document titled "ChatGPT: Strategy for the First Half of 2025", this development is intended to become "your interface to the internet" and an indispensable life companion, "deeply understanding you" and capable of performing a wide range of tasks – from calendar management and answering questions to assisting with programming and vacation planning. OpenAI believes its AI models are "finally smart enough" to perform such complex agentic functions, moving beyond simple dialogue. This strategy positions ChatGPT as a potential competitor to traditional operating systems, aiming to become the central hub for user interaction with the digital world. The company is exploring a_options for integrating its "super assistant" into third-party applications and is even considering lobbying for regulatory measures that would require platforms to allow ChatGPT to be set as the default interface. Furthermore, the document emphasizes the importance of hardware for the future product, which may hint at OpenAI developing its own devices. However, such a deep level of personalization and the implied access to vast amounts of personal data inevitably raise serious questions about privacy and ethical use of information, requiring OpenAI to provide convincing guarantees of security and transparency for its algorithms.
