OpenAI is preparing “o,” an always-on ChatGPT assistant that could handle email
OpenAI is testing o, an unannounced always-on ChatGPT assistant that may handle email.
OpenAI appears to be testing an always-on assistant branded o, after the name briefly appeared among benefits of the $100 ChatGPT Pro plan. A configuration referenced display name o and email suffix -o, suggesting a possible email identity, though OpenAI has not confirmed the feature. The company hosts DevDay 2026 in San Francisco on September 29, a likely venue for more details. References to an internal Aeon system for workspace agents appear separate from the consumer-facing o.
