OpenAI has launched a new "ChatGPT for small businesses" program aimed at helping small businesses adopt artificial intelligence across day-to-day operations through training, workflow guides and integrations with commonly used business software. The initiative brings together virtual training sessions, in-person AI workshops, educational resources and a curated ecosystem of technology partners to help small businesses use ChatGPT Work. OpenAI will host product-focused webinars demonstrating how ChatGPT Work can be used for functions such as accounting, marketing, ecommerce and business operations. The company is expanding its in-person outreach through Small Business AI Academies across the United States. According to OpenAI, during last year's Small Business AI Jams, 78% of participants built a functional AI workflow in a single day, while 42% reported saving more than five hours per week after adopting AI-assisted workflows. OpenAI is expanding its partner ecosystem by introducing new agents, plugins and workflow integrations with companies including Dropbox, Shopify, Intuit, Slack, Atlassian and Wix. Participating businesses will have opportunities to provide feedback through webinars, in-person events and surveys. The announcement builds on the recent launch of ChatGPT Work.
