OpenAI hits 3M business users and launches workplace tools to take on Microsoft


OpenAI reaches 3 million paying business users with 50% growth since February, launching new workplace AI tools including connectors and coding agents to compete with Microsoft.

“Customers often choose ChatGPT for direct access to SOTA (state-of-the-art) models and tools, combined with enterprise-grade security and commitments on never training on business data,” the spokesperson said, emphasizing OpenAI’s competitive advantage as an “AI-native” company focused solely on advancing artificial intelligence rather than integrating it into legacy systems. As AI capabilities continue to advance rapidly, OpenAI’s success in capturing enterprise market share will likely depend on its ability to maintain technical leadership while addressing fundamental questions about governance, talent retention, and long-term strategic direction. The 3 million business user milestone represents more than just a growth metric — it signals the beginning of AI’s mainstream adoption in corporate America, with OpenAI positioned as the early leader in what promises to be one of the technology industry’s most significant transformations.
