ChatGPT gets Pages and Space, its own take on an office suite
OpenAI announced Pages, a document editor where people and AI agents write, research and add charts and images together, and Space, a shared workspace where a team's pages and files live side by side. Collaborative Slides, built through conversation, starts rolling out in the coming weeks. It puts ChatGPT in more direct competition with Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
- Draft one real document, such as a price list or staff handbook, in Pages and see how well it handles your own files.
- Before moving team files into Space, decide who owns them and how you would export them if you left.
