OpenAI is upgrading Computer Use inside ChatGPT with GPT-5.6, delivering faster and more accurate autonomous task execution on your desktop. This ships as part of ChatGPT Work, positioning it as a productivity tool for professional environments.
The headlining addition is Live Picture-in-Picture. While the agent runs tasks, a floating PiP window lets you monitor its actions in real time without interrupting your own work. You can watch it operate, multitask alongside it, or apparently pipe the feed to a pet, which OpenAI included in their own description.
The full video is worth watching for the actual speed comparison and to see how the PiP interface behaves during live task execution. The GPT-5.6 performance delta and how gracefully the agent handles errors mid-task are the details that will determine whether this is genuinely useful or still a demo-only feature.
