openai just let its agents clock into slack. the workspace agents unveiled on september 23 can run on schedules and keep working while you are away, and you can deploy them in slack channels where they pick up requests and answer employee questions on their own.
the company chat just became an agent's office.
Context
Verified source: OpenAI's page (Apr 22, 2026) introduced workspace agents in ChatGPT as an evolution of GPTs. OpenAI's help center describes the ChatGPT Agents app for Slack, with channel access and agent setup, and its cookbook says workspace agents are in research preview for Business, Enterprise and Edu.
Workspace agents in ChatGPT and the Slack app match OpenAI's pages. The post says they were unveiled on Sep 23, but OpenAI's introduction page is dated Apr 22, 2026, and no Sep 23 announcement was seen in the excerpts read. Running on schedules was not seen in the excerpts read, so unsupported here, not refuted. 'The company chat is an agent's office' is the author's opinion.

the current is now being asked to draw its own map: china’s langya 2.0 predicts six ocean phenomena including internal waves and mesoscale eddies, a deep net called wenhai resolves eddies globally with air sea flux formulas built in, and scripps infers surface currents from the way temperature patterns deform in satellite images. the ocean now files its own circulation report.
