Subject: A simpler way to put ChatGPT to work

Hello,

In the coming weeks, you’ll be able to delegate work directly to ChatGPT — from building sites and presentations to taking action on the web — without switching to the Work tab.

Tell ChatGPT what you want to accomplish. It can decide when to use these capabilities, break complex tasks into smaller steps, and work through them for you.

A shared allowance for ChatGPT and Codex

As part of this unified experience, your use of ChatGPT and Codex will draw from the same allowance in the coming weeks. We’re preparing carefully for this transition to help prevent disruption to your workflows. We expect most users won’t need to wait for their usage to reset more often than they do today. Usage will depend on model and task, with more advanced models and complex tasks using more of your allowance. Unlimited Instant is included in your plan and will not draw from your usage.

You will be able to see your combined remaining usage and reset times in Settings → Usage. If you use your full allowance, you can wait for it to reset, upgrade your plan, or buy credits to continue using eligible features.

The first email I received is from my first Chatgpt plus account. The second one received a little different email

Subject: Chat and Work are coming together in one experience.

Hello,

In the coming weeks, we’ll start testing a combined experience for Chat and Work tabs in ChatGPT with a small group of users. We’ll use their feedback to improve the experience before bringing it to more people.

This will enable you to move from exploring an idea to having ChatGPT carry it through, all in one place. You can bring in your files and plugins and ask ChatGPT to build a website, create a presentation, or do things for you on the web, while reviewing and guiding its work. Codex will remain a separate experience in the ChatGPT desktop app.
