Comparing ChatGPT Work and Supersuit
ChatGPT Work and a supersuit both do real work rather than only answer. They differ on who holds what the work teaches them about you, and how far the work can reach.
- 4ChatGPT Work is one of the guided agents, which stop at limits tuned for everyone.
| The question | ChatGPT Work | A supersuit |
|---|---|---|
| Who holds your context | OpenAI stores conversations, memory and the context from connected apps. On Enterprise and Edu plans, admins decide what company context it can use.1,2,3 | You, in separate worlds: your personal context is yours, each company's is the company's |
| Can you see your context | Partly. You can inspect its plan and see which sources and tools it is using, and redirect it as it works.1 | Yes. Every piece is a file you can open, read and correct |
| What it can do | Turns a goal into finished documents, sheets, slides and web apps, working with your files, the web and approved connected tools; in the desktop app also your local files, apps and browser. It asks before sensitive actions, such as sending an email.1,2,3 | Anything you can do on a computer, across your whole life and work |
What ChatGPT Work is good for
Long, multi-step knowledge work across the apps a team already uses: research briefs with citations, meeting prep, monthly close and reforecasting, campaign briefs. It comes with ChatGPT, including a limited version on the free desktop app.1,2,3
Pick ChatGPT Work when
Your company already runs on ChatGPT, your admins want to control what the agent can touch, and the work is a task you can hand over with a clear goal.
Pick a supersuit when
You want the context it learns about you to be yours, in files you can read and correct, and an agent fitted to your whole life and work rather than tuned for everyone.
