What makes Coworker different
Pre-synthesized context vs. just-in-time tool calls
Coworker
OM2 continuously pre-synthesizes your organizational context, people, accounts, decisions, and relationships. When someone asks, Coworker already knows. Faster, more accurate, and dramatically more cost-efficient at scale.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT pulls company context through its Company Knowledge plugin and connected apps (a few apps sync content in advance), plus memory and shared projects. OpenAI positions an org-wide shared business context as part of Frontier, its separate enterprise agent platform.

Frequently asked questions
ChatGPT Business and Enterprise connect to apps like Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, HubSpot, and Salesforce, and the Company Knowledge plugin pulls that context into answers. The architecture difference matters: ChatGPT mostly retrieves from those apps when you ask, while Coworker pre-synthesizes your organizational context continuously through OM2, faster, more accurate, and dramatically more cost-efficient as you scale. Add 50+ read-write integrations, proactive agents that act without being prompted, and purpose-built interfaces beyond chat. ChatGPT is strong for open-ended work; Coworker is built for enterprise execution.
Yes. ChatGPT Business and Enterprise have plugins for Slack, Salesforce, Jira (through Atlassian Rovo), Google Drive, SharePoint, and more, and some support write actions such as creating Jira issues or updating Salesforce records once an admin allows them. The difference is what starts the work: in ChatGPT it is a person, a schedule, or a Gmail, Slack, or GitHub event. Coworker's 50+ read-write connectors run those updates automatically after each meeting or agent event.
Yes, increasingly. ChatGPT workspace agents (generally available since May 2026) can run on a schedule, from Slack, or through an API trigger, and scheduled tasks can respond to Gmail, Slack, or GitHub events. Triggering on a CRM field change or a support ticket spike means your team wires up the API trigger. Coworker's no-code agent builder does this out of the box for non-technical teams.
ChatGPT Business is self-serve and can be live the same day. ChatGPT Enterprise is sold through OpenAI's sales team and includes dedicated onboarding. In both, your team sets up app access and builds its own agents and workflows. Coworker provides a dedicated onboarding team that delivers agents working for you in minutes and completes full enterprise setup in 2-5 business days, including integration with your existing tools.
Yes. Coworker is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and CASA Tier 2 verified. All data respects existing permission models, is encrypted at rest and in transit, and is never used to train AI models. Enterprise customers get SSO, RBAC, and dedicated security review.
