What is the future of ChatGPT?

The future of ChatGPT is the operating layer for daily work, not a chatbot. I predict AI assistants become productivity tools, research partners, and digital advisors woven into every workflow, and OpenAI already sells it that way: ChatGPT for business, agents that browse and buy, and a shopping checkout inside the chat since 2025. It is the early form of a general interface for getting things done. The money follows: I forecast ads inside AI answers pass $300 billion by 2035, and ChatGPT is the first place they land. Treat it as infrastructure, not a gadget, and build accordingly.
