#62I still cannot get even Opus to be consistent with my design logic, and not leak sensitive data via endpoints etc.
I'm either genuinely missing some key harness/whatever, or businesses are going to have issues down the line.
Re: Workspace Agents in ChatGPT
#63Who asked for this ? I'm genuinely curious.
"If only I had an agent which does everything at work for me". The logical continuation would be 'then I wouldn't have to work', right ?
No. Just as with coding agents, it doesn't mean less work - it means a lot more work of a different kind with the main challenge - don't loose your mind when managing the outputs from these agents.
Look at it another way - if these agents work perfectly and really increase productivity and profits and companies agentify all of their processes/development - then won't these companies essentially become extensions of OpenAI and not the other way around ?

> businesses are going to have issues down the line.
The AI agents coding up everything in parallel is just the latest iteration of a series of fads. Previously it was "outsource everything to low-cost Indian developers". Before that, it was "visual drag & drop rapid development". Before that, it was 4GL. Etc, etc...
Turns out that coding is more like a proof of understanding by the humans responsible.
You can't outsource responsibility.

#65Two problems: - How you keep on top of what they are up to? - How do they organize and coordinate? I think this can only work based on a solid agent id system. Shameless plug: I have been working on a solution for it, available at https://github.com/awebai/aweb and with a distributed, independently verifiable, and fully open id system at https://awid.ai I wonder if this could be made to work with OpenAI's workspace a…
There are going to be agents all over the web and will need identity and payment infrastructue.

#66Notion did it first and arguably better[1]. Shared agents benefit from shared context. The hardest part is ensuring that shared context is maintained and it converges on a representation of reality and the people in the company. [1] https://www.notion.com/help/custom-agents
it's funny how adding AI to notion actually made it a lot more usable. Most products force it on you, but here I feel like it's actually a massive benefit.
It was hard finding content and using the filters felt clunky. (And the whole UI either in a browser or their app feels buggy + slow). But with their notion AI / MCP it's gotten super easy to get information in and out.

Disclaimer: I work at OpenAI. Lots of people! I get a lot of value out of these already.
If it helps, here's an example: Our team shares wonderful customer demos in Slack. In the past, these would get lost in Slack unless someone took the time to manually create the documentation and log it in Notion.
That meant no one really logged them and the example of good work was lost.
Now, I tag workspace agent in the slack thread, it reads the thread, puts it into the right shape, and logs it (with considerably high fidelity). Saves us time, does the job no one wanted to do, and helps new hires+tenured folks like me learn from our colleagues.
(I used to use Codex to do the same thing by sharing the slack link, but now can skip that step).

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, please. Their MCP suuuuuuuucks
How does it suck? I use it almost daily and love their Notion MCP
I was probably a bit harsh.
It works, but models seem to have these insane long traces to do the most basic things. I had to create a couple of skills so they know how to properly use the thing without breaking, so they don't always try to pass the wrong parameters to it.
It also doesn't let us change a couple of things (like icons). Or, if it does, not even Opus 4.6 can figure out how to do it.

Youre putting resources into building these kinds of things? lol... this is actually hilarious.
You may think its value add, but from what Im seeing from a valuation stand point theres no way the valuation of OAI makes any sense.
