OpenAI is preparing “o,” an always-on ChatGPT assistant that could handle email

OpenAI is testing an unannounced always-on ChatGPT assistant internally called “o,” according to references briefly visible on the company’s website. The feature appears designed to handle tasks like managing email continuously, rather than responding only when prompted. OpenAI has not officially confirmed the assistant’s capabilities or rollout timeline, and the website references were quickly removed.
