The new ChatGPT desktop app integrates the existing Codex with a new ChatGPT Work agent.
The new app also supports a Chrome desktop browser plugin. Therefore, Chrome users can integrate ChatGPT without switching browsers.
Atlas was first released for Mac in October last year. Subsequently, the Codex app was launched, and in April of this year, browser functionality was added within the Codex app. Today, all functionalities were consolidated into a single new ChatGPT desktop app.
