OpenAI is said to be showing an always-on agent called o on Tuesday.
Testers found an assistant named o hidden in ChatGPT's settings, and OpenAI has confirmed nothing. It appeared briefly on the Pro upgrade page as an assistant that keeps working after you close the chat. OpenAI holds its developer day on Tuesday, so the rumour resolves within a day.
Why it mattersMeta shipped a personal agent this month, and OpenAI has not answered it. If this is real, the assistant on your phone stops waiting for you to type.
