OpenAI promised "20+ launches" at DevDay, and beyond the headliners — the always-on Dot agents and the cheaper GPT-6.1 Sol model — the company used Tuesday's keynote to rebuild ChatGPT itself around collaboration. The centerpiece is ChatGPT Space, a shared workspace where teammates, ChatGPT and each person's Dot all work from the same pile of project knowledge. Think of it as a shared drive fused with a group chat, except some of the members are software.
In the keynote demo, OpenAI's Holly Li tagged coworkers and her Dot inside a Space and handed out chores: write an FAQ, keep her updated, and comb through her Slack DMs. OpenAI says its own engineers use Dots inside Spaces to fix dozens of bugs a day — a company-stated figure, not an independently verified one. Dots can be assigned tasks in group chats, and each user's first Dot is included with Pro and Business Premium plans in eligible markets.
Space introduces Pages, a new kind of document built for people and agents to edit together. Pages can hold charts, interactive dashboards, tables and images, and can update themselves from connected tools — a to-do list that refreshes with the latest work, or a product tracker that stays current with its data source. Collaborative slides, a new presentation editor with native editable charts and simultaneous multi-user editing, export to PowerPoint or Google Slides with formatting intact; OpenAI says that export arrives in the next few weeks.
Availability is deliberately premium: Space, Pages and the slide editor run on Pro, Business and Enterprise plans, on desktop and web, with mobile able to read and share Pages but not yet create them. The $20-a-month Plus plan is excluded. OpenAI says conversations with Dots and Space work do not count against standard ChatGPT usage limits.
The bigger platform play is Sign in with ChatGPT. With 1.2 billion weekly users, OpenAI now lets subscribers spend their ChatGPT plan allowance inside third-party apps instead of paying for tokens there, and set how much each app can use. There are 16 launch partners, including Cognition's Devin, Notion, Vercel, T3, OpenClaw and Dactyl. Around it, plugin extensions bring app-like interfaces for tools such as Adobe and Figma into ChatGPT, and an OpenAI Marketplace launches with more than 30 partners.
For speed-seekers, OpenAI introduced the Ultrafast tier: token generation up to 8 times faster in Codex — which the company puts at 300 tokens per second — and up to 6 times faster in the API, at up to 6 times the standard price. Those are OpenAI's own performance claims. Ultrafast is bundled with the new $500-a-month Pro 500 plan, which carries 25 times Plus usage and no 5-hour cap, alongside Enterprise access.
Not everything went to plan on stage: the live Dot demo stalled, and voice mode failed repeatedly during the developer-experience segment, forcing the presenter to type. But the pitch survived the glitches. Agents take dozens of small steps, so every millisecond of latency is money — which is why the Ultrafast tier and the shared workspace belong in the same keynote. And by letting subscribers carry their ChatGPT quota into Notion, Devin and beyond, OpenAI is turning a chatbot into a billing platform that Meta's Muse and Google's Gemini for Business now have to answer.
