On 16 October 2026, OpenAI announced an update to GPT-6 Pro in the Chat tab: several agents can work on different parts of one task at the same time. Users can follow progress in the conversation and open completed tasks to inspect what each agent did.
An agent here is an AI worker handling part of the assignment. For a small team, the useful opportunity is to inspect those parts before relying on a combined conclusion.
Who can access the update
The announcement says the update is rolling out to eligible Pro users. Availability in managed workspaces depends on settings and rollout eligibility.
The model guide separately lists GPT-6 Pro access for Pro, Business and Enterprise plans. That general list does not establish that every such account already has parallel work. Check actual access in your account before planning a team workflow.
GPT-6 Pro has usage limits; a Pro subscription does not mean unlimited use of this model. Chat allowances are separate from those for Work and Codex.
What to try on a small assignment
The following is an editorial proposal that Nadali has not tested.
A small shop could try preparing a briefing on two types of packaging: separately collecting manufacturers’ specifications and suppliers’ published delivery terms.
- Specify the products and required fields; ask for links and explicit gaps. Keep the trial to reading public pages without customer data.
- Open completed parts and match important claims to the originals. Check that they refer to the same products and units.
- Check that the combined summary retains the limitations. Preparing a briefing does not authorise ordering goods or contacting a supplier.
Separately decide who approves the summary; our article on human review of AI output can help clarify responsibility.
How to assess the result
Record which parts you could verify, where sources were missing and how many corrections were needed. Parallel work alone does not establish that a conclusion is correct.
Nadali has not tested the feature in a working account or measured its speed or time savings.
