OpenAI is introducing an artificial intelligence model that’s intended to be better at completing work without much direction, part of a push to keep pace with rivals like Anthropic PBC in courting business customers.

The ChatGPT maker on Thursday unveiled GPT 5.5, a new model that it says is better at aiding scientists, streamlining software development and carrying out more complex tasks. That includes using email, spreadsheets, calendars and other applications to follow a user’s commands on a computer.
