OpenAI is preparing a major redesign of ChatGPT that will combine it with the company’s Codex coding tool and add partner-built applications, according to reporting by the Financial Times and Bloomberg. The San Francisco-based company intends to turn the chatbot into a “superapp” capable of handling complex, multi-step tasks such as booking travel or managing calendars.
Changes to the website and mobile app interface are scheduled to begin rolling out in the coming weeks, the Financial Times reported on June 7, 2026, citing current and former employees.
Com. The Information reported on June 3, 2026 that OpenAI is planning to merge Codex and ChatGPT into the superapp structure. Codex has already seen its weekly active user base grow sixfold to more than 5 million since launch.
OpenAI currently serves 2 million business customers that account for roughly 40 percent of revenue, a share the company expects could reach 50 percent by the end of 2026. To focus resources on the platform overhaul, OpenAI has sidelined some consumer initiatives, including a video-generation product introduced less than a year earlier.
The company is undertaking the changes ahead of a planned initial public offering later in 2026 and to compete more directly with rivals such as Anthropic, the Financial Times reported.
