this isn’t just a feature drop. it’s the next step in a race already underway:
1. openclaw – agent embedded in messaging apps
2. hermes – pairing with minimax to reach mass-market usage
3. cowork – agent as a native tab inside claude desktop
4. manus – agent run in its web and desktop app
5. gemini — agent across workspace + android
6. minimax – agent layer on top of m2.7 (web + desktop)
everyone is converging on the same idea: make agents native to existing interfaces
• openai’s edge is different – distribution
• chatgpt already has ~900m weekly users
agents don’t win on capability alone
they win where users already are – and where they're easy to use
OpenAI is preparing Agents in ChatGPT (codename Hermes) including agents builder (studio), templates, schedules, option to use your agent in Slack, add apps, skills, files, memory, instructions and more
