ChatGPT Space is OpenAI’s new shared workspace, and it replaces the Library tab for Pro, Business and Enterprise users. It’s where you, your teammates and ChatGPT work on the same pages and files in one place.
OpenAI announced it at DevDay on September 29. If you’ve ever pasted a ChatGPT answer into a doc and lost track of it, this is the fix OpenAI is aiming for.
Here are the quick facts:
- It’s available to Pro, Business and Enterprise plans, replacing Library.
- Its main building block is a new document type called Pages.
- Slides and Sheets are listed as coming later.
- Mobile can read and share, but not create or edit.
Pricing wasn’t announced separately, so access comes down to your plan.
What is ChatGPT Space, exactly?
Think of it as a shared folder with ChatGPT built in. TechRadar describes it as a home for the pages and files you create, upload and share in ChatGPT.
It also acts as a common area for Codex and OpenAI’s always-on Dots agents. Regular Projects still exist separately for chats, files and project instructions.
The big change is that each person in a Space uses their own ChatGPT. You aren’t all squeezed into one chat thread.
How do Pages work inside a ChatGPT Space?
Pages are documents that mix text, images, charts, tables, files and interactive tools. According to Android Authority, you can turn an existing conversation into a page and then edit it yourself.
You can also ask ChatGPT to rewrite sections, or invite teammates to change it in real time. Comments can request a specific edit, or hand the job to ChatGPT or a Dot.
Pages can also draw on connected services such as Google Drive and Slack. Our guide to ChatGPT Dots explains the agent side, which is useful here because Dots can keep shared work updated as plans change.
What’s missing from ChatGPT Space at launch?
Quite a bit, and it’s worth knowing before you move a team over. The table below sums up what’s in and what’s not, based on the launch coverage.
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Pages (text, images, charts, tables, interactive tools) | Available at launch |
| Uploaded files and folders | Available at launch |
| Comments that hand edits to ChatGPT or a Dot | Available at launch |
| Creating and editing Pages on mobile | Not yet. Mobile can find, read and share only |
| Slides and Sheets | “Coming soon” |
| Automatic “Keep updated” Pages | Not available at launch |
The mobile limit is the one that will bite first. You can open a page on your phone and share it, but real editing waits for the web or desktop app.
The meeting plugin is also limited. It’s in beta for Pro and Business users, and it runs only in the desktop app.
What does the Space meeting plugin do?
It’s a note-taker that works inside Space. Per TechRadar, it creates private, personalized notes for each person and suggests follow-ups in the shared Space.
That’s handy if you hate writing recaps. The catch is the beta label and the desktop-only limit, so it won’t cover a call you take from your phone.
Check your company’s recording rules before you turn it on. Notes may be simple, but the meeting itself still has people in it who expect to be told.
Who gets access, and what does it cost?
Space is for Pro, Business and Enterprise users on web and desktop. Free and Plus users aren’t named in the launch coverage, so don’t count on it yet.
There’s no separate Space price in the reports we found. What you pay is whatever your plan costs. If you’re weighing the top tier, our breakdown of ChatGPT Pro 500 covers who should pay for it.
Business and Enterprise admins should also check their workspace settings, since connected apps and agents decide what Space can see.
Is this OpenAI’s answer to Google Docs and Microsoft 365?
Not officially. TechRadar notes that OpenAI didn’t set out to replace Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. It still calls Space a major shift, because documents, people and AI now sit in one place.
The difference is where the AI lives. In a traditional office suite, the assistant is an add-on to a document. Here, the assistant comes first and the document grows out of the chat.
That could suit small teams that already brainstorm in ChatGPT. Larger companies with strict document rules will likely want to see more controls before they switch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ChatGPT Space replace Projects?
No. Projects stay separate for chats, files and project instructions. Space replaces the Library tab and holds pages, files and folders.
Is ChatGPT Space free?
Not as far as launch coverage shows. It’s for Pro, Business and Enterprise users, and no separate price was given.
Can I use ChatGPT Space on my phone?
Partly. You can find, read and share pages on mobile, but you can’t create or edit them yet.
Can ChatGPT Space make slides and spreadsheets?
Not yet. Slides and Sheets are marked “coming soon,” so for now it’s mainly about Pages and files.
Should you move your team to ChatGPT Space?
If your team already lives in ChatGPT, try it on one small project first. Turning a good chat into a shared page is a real time-saver, and that part works today.
If you depend on slides, spreadsheets or heavy mobile editing, wait. Those pieces aren’t ready, and Google Docs and Microsoft 365 still do them well. I’d treat ChatGPT Space as a promising draft pad for now, not a replacement for your office suite.
