# OpenAI launches Data agent for ChatGPT Work business analytics

*2026-09-10 · Source: [OpenAI](https://openai.com/index/put-data-to-work)*

OpenAI released a Data agent in ChatGPT Work that connects to company data sources and builds interactive dashboards from natural-language requests. It's aimed at letting non-technical employees query and visualize business data without writing code or SQL.

**Why it matters:** This puts OpenAI in direct competition with business-intelligence tools like Tableau and Looker, and with Microsoft's Copilot analytics push, by targeting enterprise data work rather than general chat. It's part of a broader pattern of chat assistants absorbing adjacent software categories, such as search, coding, and now BI, rather than staying general-purpose.
