    OpenAI has launched the ChatGPT for Small Businesses program, pairing its ChatGPT Work agent—now powered by GPT-5.6—with structured enablement resources including virtual training webinars, in-person AI academies across the US, and partner integrations with Dropbox, Shopify, Intuit, Slack, Atlassian, and Wix. ChatGPT Work is designed to execute multi-step, end-to-end tasks by connecting to a business's files, applications, and memory, positioning it as a substitute for outsourced functions such as marketing, accounting, and operations. At prior Small Business AI Jam events, 78% of participants built a functional AI workflow in a single day and 42% reported saving more than five hours per week. The program is available now across all ChatGPT subscription tiers, making GPT-5.6 and agent capabilities accessible at SMB price points rather than enterprise-only contracts.
