Agents replace chatbots at OpenAI

OpenAI

OpenAI's internal data shows Codex, its agentic AI tool, has replaced ChatGPT as the dominant work interface across all departments, with non-developer adoption growing 137-189x since August 2025. This shift from chatbots to agents for long-horizon tasks (80% of users now delegate 30+ minute tasks) represents a fundamental transformation in how AI augments knowledge work.
