Leaked Docs Reveal OpenAI's Plan to Build a "Super Assistant"

Leaked documents have revealed OpenAI's ambitious next chapter: transforming ChatGPT into a fully-fledged "super assistant" that knows you, understands what you care about, and can help with virtually any task.

The plans emerged from a confidential internal document titled "ChatGPT: H1 2025 Strategy," recently made public as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s antitrust case against Google and first reported by 9to5Mac on June 2. Though much of the file is redacted, the remaining content outlines a striking roadmap: ChatGPT will become an AI-powered agent available not just via the chatbot interface, but through apps, email, voice assistants like Siri, and more.

"In the first half of next year, we’ll start evolving ChatGPT into a super-assistant: one that knows you, understands what you care about, and helps with any task that a smart, trustworthy, emotionally intelligent person with a computer could do," the document reads.

This isn’t just about smarter answers. OpenAI envisions a highly personalized system capable of both general and expert-level tasks. Internally, it’s described as an “intelligent entity with T-shaped skills” — broad enough to manage everything from scheduling to gift shopping, but deep enough to tackle complex work like coding or technical writing.

"The broad part is all about making life easier: answering a question, finding a home, contacting a lawyer, joining a gym, planning vacations, buying gifts, managing calendars, keeping track of to-dos, sending emails," OpenAI writes.

According to the leaked timeline, H1 2025 will focus on building the core capabilities of this assistant. H2 2025 shifts to generating real demand among users and businesses. The company notes that by H1 2026, this assistant may not yet create monetizable demand — but it expects that continued development will yield financial returns by the second half of that year.

Why now? OpenAI believes the timing is ideal:

Models like o2 and o3 are finally smart enough to reliably perform agentic tasks, tools like computer use can boost ChatGPT's ability to take action, and interaction paradigms like multimodality and generative UI allow both ChatGPT and users to express themselves in the best way for the task.

The company also hinted that this assistant will be accessible across platforms — including the ChatGPT website, native Mac and Windows apps, mobile, email, and integrations with third-party tools such as Apple’s Siri. In other words, OpenAI doesn’t just want ChatGPT to be helpful — it wants it to be everywhere.
