OpenAI chief says next-gen ChatGPT could monitor screens and meetings within six months

During an interview with Cory Levy, Sam Altman described a forthcoming iteration of ChatGPT that could constantly monitor a user’s screen, capture meeting audio and integrate information from services like email, documents and Slack. The assistant would operate under the user’s permission, pulling only the data the individual chooses to share, and would offer real-time advice rather than act independently. Altman suggested that a single additional model generation could make this capability genuinely helpful, especially for people handling large volumes of information.

He highlighted that the tool would maintain ongoing context across tasks, helping with activities such as drafting sales pitches or strategy documents. While referencing existing features that retain conversation memory, he noted that the proposed system differs by staying continuously aware of a user’s workflow. No product name, official release schedule or final feature list was provided.
