# OpenAI's Next Big Bet Before IPO? ChatGPT May Never Look Same Again

**OpenAI** is reportedly preparing for a significant transformation of its ChatGPT platform ahead of its initial public offering.

## **ChatGPT To Evolve Into A ‘Superapp'**

According to a report by the Financial Times on Sunday, OpenAI aims to evolve the chatbot into a “superapp” by integrating coding tools and AI agents.

The San Francisco-based company is undergoing a reorganization to focus on business clients and compete with rivals like **Anthropic**. This shift comes as OpenAI faces pressure to boost revenue and chart a path to profitability.

"It will transcend the actual surface…  what we're building towards is where you have your own personal agent that is capable of helping you… across everything in your life, be it personally or at work," OpenAI's Thibault Sottiaux told the Financial Times.

## **Claude Code Rival Codex To Play Crucial Role In Transformation**

OpenAI’s strategy involves enhancing its coding product, Codex, reflecting a belief that AI’s future lies in task-performing agents rather than traditional chatbots, according to the report. Codex, which has grown to over five million weekly active users, is expected to play a crucial role in this transformation.

The overhaul will introduce changes to ChatGPT’s website and apps, steering users towards coding, image-generation, and partner apps. OpenAI anticipates that AI agents will become more valuable than chatbots, performing tasks like booking travel and organizing schedules.

As part of the restructuring, OpenAI has consolidated its product teams under new leadership. The company is also sidelining some consumer-focused initiatives to prioritize business clients, aiming to increase revenue from its two million business users.

## **Pivot Amid Rising Competition**

OpenAI’s strategic pivot comes amid increasing competition in the AI sector. **Microsoft Corp.** (NASDAQ:MSFT) has been actively developing new AI models to compete with Anthropic, which has maintained a lead with its advanced AI systems.

OpenAI also plans to give the U.S. government early access to new AI models under a voluntary framework initiated by President **Donald Trump**.

Furthermore, discussions about potential government stakes in AI companies, including OpenAI, suggest a broader interest in distributing AI-driven wealth more equitably. OpenAI CEO **Sam Altman** has reportedly engaged with Trump administration officials to explore this possibility.
