OpenAI Declares 'Chat Is Dead' in Push to Turn ChatGPT Into an AI Agent Super App

OpenAI is reportedly planning its biggest ChatGPT overhaul since launch, redesigning the interface to push users toward coding tools, image generation, and third-party partner apps as it pivots from chatbot to AI agent platform. The shift reflects internal belief that 'chat is dead' and the future lies in autonomous agents that perform tasks, driven by mounting IPO pressure and stiffer competition from Anthropic and Google. Executives envision a single personal AI assistant across devices that blurs the lines between search, coding, and other software categories, though the company risks alienating partners it initially leans on to flesh out the 'super app' experience.
