OpenAI Introduces Data Agent in ChatGPT Work to Analyze Company Data

OpenAI has launched a dedicated data agent inside ChatGPT Work (its enterprise product tier), enabling organizations to connect and analyze internal company data directly within the chat interface. The agent can query structured data sources, generate insights, and surface business intelligence without requiring custom integrations or dedicated analytics tooling. This extends ChatGPT beyond text generation into agentic data workflows, directly competing with BI tools and internal data platforms. For developers building enterprise AI products, this raises the bar on what out-of-the-box ChatGPT can do versus what requires custom development. It also signals OpenAI's continued push to own the enterprise workflow layer, not just the model layer.
