OpenAI just gave AI the delete key. I'm here for it.
OpenAI dropped ChatGPT Work this week, a direct shot at Claude Cowork. Same idea, one big difference: it can actually delete.
Why would you want your agent to delete? Here’s my take. Claude Cowork is too cautious. It connects to Outlook, but it won’t archive or delete a thing. And cleaning up junk is the whole reason I wanted AI in my inbox. So for me, it’s been a bit of a dud.
ChatGPT Work raises the stakes by letting you delete from day one.
Hot take: I felt so boxed in by “read-only” AI that I built my own email checker. Now that OpenAI has taken the gloves off, this agent battle is about to get spicier.
Real question for you: would you let AI delete your emails?
