ChatGPT Work Now Logs Into Other Websites, Completes More Tasks Itself

OpenAI announced on Tuesday that ChatGPT Work, available to Plus and Pro subscribers, can now log into websites using credentials from third-party password managers and complete tasks such as booking appointments with minimal user input. OpenAI says it will not see or store usernames or passwords, but warns that logged-in sessions may persist for future tasks. Free users will receive access to task scheduling tools, allowing three active scheduled prompts, while paid users can trigger requests based on changes in GitHub, Gmail, or Slack.

Logging into your personal accounts is a major stumbling block for agentic AI tools: you tell your assistant to complete a task, but they need your credentials to do so. Now, ChatGPT Work is further automating that.

A new feature announced on Tuesday allows ChatGPT Work to log in to websites and complete tasks using that information on your behalf. For example, if you tell ChatGPT Work to book an appointment at the DMV on your behalf, it will now use your information to access your personal account and complete the process with little to no input from you.

To do so, ChatGPT Work takes your login credentials from a third-party password manager. If you ask it to complete any task that requires a login, a new window will appear asking which password manager to use. It may also need help with other security steps, such as two-factor authentication.

OpenAI says it won’t ever see or record your username or password, so it won’t be used without your permission or for training purposes of its tools. It does warn logged in sessions may continue for future tasks. If you want to stop that for select services, you can head to **Settings **> Cloud browser > Browser data and find the website you want ChatGPT to forget.

The feature is exclusive to those on Plus and Pro ChatGPT plans, with no word yet on whether it will come to free users at a later date. That may happen, given that OpenAI often launches features as exclusive to subscribers but later offers a limited version to free users.

Similarly, OpenAI announced that free users will now get access to its task scheduling tools. It lets you set up a prompt for a later date, and OpenAI says you can have three active at a time with a free account.

If you do pay for ChatGPT, you now also get access to new scheduling tools that let you trigger a request when something changes in GitHub, Gmail, or Slack. An example from OpenAI shows you can get ChatGPT to summarize emails around select topics as soon as they arrive. Disclosure: Ziff Davis, PCMag's parent company, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in April 2025, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
