ChatGPT app launch brief
A concise plan for introducing the new ChatGPT app experience.
Launch objective
Position the ChatGPT app as the everyday AI partner that brings chats, projects, and useful tools into one focused workspace.
North star
A user should understand the value of the ChatGPT app within ten seconds and be able to begin a meaningful task within one minute.
Core messages
- Move from a question to a reviewed implementation in one workspace.
- Run several tasks in parallel without losing context.
- Inspect commands, file changes, and approvals as work happens.
The ChatGPT app turns everyday work into chats you can actually finish.
— Launch narrative workshop
Rollout plan
Three phases keep the launch focused while preserving room to learn.
1. Developer preview
Invite experienced users to validate repository onboarding, permissions, and the review workflow across real projects.
2. Public launch
Ship the product story, documentation, example tasks, and a focused set of templates for high-confidence first runs.
3. Habit formation
Follow launch with practical workflows that demonstrate delegation, recurring automations, and collaboration around generated artifacts.
Success signal
More than half of activated developers return to complete a second task during their first week.
