Beating AI Flash,OpenAI is reportedly preparing an always-on assistant called “o.”AI User Jake Boggs saw an unreleased benefit on the ChatGPT Pro upgrade page: “o, your always-on assistant.” TestingCatalog subsequently found fields including the display name “o” and email_suffix: -o in ChatGPT configuration.
The Information reported that OpenAI is developing a feature aimed directly at Grok Bot and has also discussed a personal AI assistant to rival Meta Muse. The related product may reuse existing ChatGPT and Codex Agent technology to keep tasks running in the background, potentially completing them over multiple days.
The community had previously found gpt-6-astra-aeon in Codex, along with internal instructions describing Aeon as a “persistent background Agent.” Some therefore speculate that Aeon may be an internal codename, while “o” is the user-facing product name.OpenAI has confirmed that DevDay will be held on September 29, with Sam Altman delivering the opening keynote. TestingCatalog speculates that “o” may debut then.
