A recently surfaced internal memo from OpenAI outlines the company's vision to evolve ChatGPT into a comprehensive "super-assistant," aiming to become an integral part of users' daily lives. The document, which emerged during the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust proceedings against Google, details plans to develop ChatGPT into an "entity" that understands users personally and assists with a wide array of tasks.

According to the memo, OpenAI envisions ChatGPT as a personalized assistant available across various platforms, including chatgpt.com, native apps, phone, email, and third-party services like Siri. Described as having "T-shaped skills," the assistant would possess broad capabilities for everyday tasks and deep expertise in specialized areas, starting with coding.

The proposed functionalities for this super-assistant encompass tasks such as answering questions, finding housing, contacting professionals, planning vacations, purchasing gifts, managing calendars, tracking to-do lists, and sending emails. The goal is to create a tool that not only simplifies routine activities but also handles complex tasks that typically require expert knowledge.

While the concept is ambitious, it raises questions about the current limitations of AI technology. Despite significant advancements, AI models like ChatGPT still face challenges, including occasional inaccuracies and a lack of real-time awareness. For OpenAI's vision to materialize, substantial improvements in AI reliability and user trust will be essential.
