OpenAI is reportedly building OpenAI ChatGPT agents that can create and edit spreadsheets and slide presentations—directly inside ChatGPT. According to a new report from The Information, the effort signals OpenAI’s push to evolve ChatGPT into a full-featured productivity platform that could bypass tools like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace altogether.


What’s Coming from OpenAI ChatGPT Agents


  • New buttons beneath the ChatGPT search bar will let users generate spreadsheets or slide decks from simple natural language prompts, with no need for third-party apps.


  • Output will be saved in Microsoft’s open-source file formats, ensuring compatibility with Excel, PowerPoint, and other office tools.


  • OpenAI is reportedly testing collaborative editing, allowing multiple users to work on documents simultaneously within ChatGPT—though no release date has been confirmed.


Challenges for OpenAI ChatGPT Agents


Early testers have noted sluggish performance. In some cases, spreadsheet generation tasks have taken as long as 30 minutes to process. For OpenAI ChatGPT agents to seriously challenge Microsoft and Google’s dominance in productivity software, improvements in speed and reliability will be crucial.


Why OpenAI ChatGPT Agents Matter


If successful, this shift could reshape how people interact with data, presentations, and office workflows—placing AI at the center of day-to-day business productivity. Instead of toggling between tools, users would simply describe what they need and let the AI build it.


The strategy is bold, especially given Microsoft’s deep integration of Copilot into its Office suite—and its financial stake in OpenAI. But for OpenAI to truly disrupt entrenched business software, it will need more than intelligence: it must deliver performance, trust, and seamless user experience.
