OpenAI 正在重组其业务，以将 ChatGPT 彻底改造为个人化的 AI「超级应用程式」。于 2024 年加入该公司的 Thibault Sottiaux 在 2026 年 5 月被任命为 OpenAI 的核心产品负责人。他现在直接向 Greg Brockman 汇报，并监督 ChatGPT 与 Codex 的整合。Thibault Sottiaux 先前自 2015 年起在 Google 工作，协助建置 AlphaGo 的基础设施，该系统在 2016 年击败人类围棋冠军而创造历史，随后他在 ChatGPT 于 2022 年首次推出后加入 OpenAI。
此一转变是由庞大的规模化需求与商业成长所驱动。Thibault Sottiaux 的任务是将 Codex（其核心开发团队在 2026 年 4 月仅由约 40 人组成）转化为通用型代理。该代理将服务 ChatGPT 的消费群体，该群体目前拥有接近 10 亿（1,000,000,000）名每周活跃用户。这一转变代表了从服务有限的开发者社群到管理庞大全球消费性产品的过渡，旨在于 OpenAI 计划的首次公开募股之前加速其成长。
此次彻底改造继承了先前如 Operator 和 ChatGPT Agent 等代理计划，这些计划因模型不可靠而未能获得采用。OpenAI 还在扩大外部整合以建立其介面，包括在 2026 年 6 月宣布的与 Visa 的代理支付合作伙伴关系。借由将 Codex 合并到 ChatGPT 中，OpenAI 预期能在自然语言提示下无形地执行自动化 API 调用、网页搜寻和程式码执行，旨在确保其领先 Google 和 Anthropic 等竞争对手的地位。
OpenAI is restructuring its operations to overhaul ChatGPT into a personalized AI "super app." Thibault Sottiaux, who joined the company in 2024, was appointed OpenAI’s head of core products in May 2026. He now directly reports to Greg Brockman and oversees the integration of ChatGPT and Codex. Thibault Sottiaux previously worked at Google from 2015, helping build the infrastructure for AlphaGo, which made history in 2016 by defeating a human Go champion, before joining OpenAI after ChatGPT's initial launch in 2022.
The transition is driven by massive scaling demands and commercial growth. Thibault Sottiaux is tasked with adapting Codex, whose core development team comprised only about 40 people in April 2026, into a general-purpose agent. This agent will serve ChatGPT's consumer base, which now features nearly 1 billion (1,000,000,000) weekly active users. This shift represents a transition from serving limited developer communities to managing a massive global consumer product, aiming to accelerate OpenAI's growth prior to its planned initial public offering.
This overhaul succeeds previous agent initiatives like Operator and ChatGPT Agent, which failed to gain adoption due to unreliable models. OpenAI is also expanding external integrations to establish its interface, including an agentic payments partnership with Visa announced in June 2026. By merging Codex into ChatGPT, OpenAI expects to run automated API calls, web searches, and code execution invisibly under natural language prompts, aiming to secure its lead over competitors like Google and Anthropic.
