What happened
OpenAI announced the Data agent feature in ChatGPT Work. The tool lets users connect company data, uncover insights, and build interactive dashboards using natural language commands instead of traditional querying or dashboard design.
Why it matters
This moves AI-assisted data analysis beyond research into production workflows for enterprises. Companies can now reduce friction in converting raw data into actionable intelligence without requiring SQL or data engineering expertise, lowering the barrier to self-service analytics.
What changes
Enterprise users can now use natural language to interact with company data directly within ChatGPT Work, eliminating the need for manual dashboard construction or data team intermediation for routine queries.
