ChatGPT has dominated headlines since it arrived in 2022, quickly growing into one of the most powerful and popular AI tools available today.
“Today, ChatGPT is in our lives through existing form factors — our website, phone, and desktop apps,” the document reads.
“But our vision for ChatGPT is to help you with all of your life, no matter where you are.”
While the first half of 2025 focused on building out ChatGPT as a “super assistant,” the second half will shift to generating “enough monetizable demand to pursue these new models.”
OpenAI also stated its support for regulations requiring platforms to let users choose ChatGPT as their default assistant.
Since its launch in 2022, ChatGPT has dominated news, swiftly becoming one of the most potent and well-liked AI tools on the market today. However, as it recently disclosed in an internal strategy document outlining its objective to establish users’ de facto “interface to the internet,” OpenAI still has big plans for its generative AI model. “.”.
This week, the highly redacted document from late 2024 surfaced during the Justice Department’s antitrust case against Google’s discovery phase. It details OpenAI’s intentions to transform ChatGPT into an “AI super assistant that deeply understands you and is your interface to the internet.”. “”.

The second half of 2025 will be devoted to creating “enough monetizable demand to pursue these new models,” where the first half concentrated on developing ChatGPT as a “super assistant.”. “.
“We’ll begin transforming ChatGPT into a super-assistant in the first half of next year: one that knows you, knows what matters to you, and assists with any task that a computer-savvy, emotionally intelligent, and intelligent person could do,” the document says. “The moment is perfect. Eventually, models like 02 and 03 are intelligent enough to consistently carry out agentic tasks; tools like computer use can increase ChatGPT’s action capability; and interaction paradigms like multimodality and generative UI enable both ChatGPT and users to express themselves in the most appropriate manner for the task. “”.
OpenAI identifies the main challenges facing ChatGPT.
The document also provides an intriguing look at OpenAI’s perceptions of rivals such as Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Meta AI.
[REDACTED] is the greatest threat going forward in 2025 because of their capacity to incorporate comparable functionality into all of their products (e.g. A. without having to deal with Google’s business model cannibalization risks,” the document says. Meta is the most likely candidate because the blacked-out section is only a few letters long.

Another challenge mentioned by OpenAI is the expanding infrastructure required to support ChatGPT’s rapidly expanding user base. This is why CEO Sam Altman has made data center expansion one of the company’s primary strategies.
The document issues a warning that “growth and revenue won’t line up forever,” saying, “We are leading here, but we can’t rest.”. “”.
