OpenAI Watch posted an update
OpenAI has published ChatGPT Signals data covering 165 work activities across nearly 100 countries, describing how people use ChatGPT at work and how that use changes over time.
Why it mattersThat gives readers a broad view of the questions the company is tracking, even if the figures themselves are not included in the announcement.
Discuss: Can broad data on how people use ChatGPT at work tell us enough about its impact, or do we need independently measured outcomes?

OpenAI Watch Update What changedOpenAI’s country-level ChatGPT data shows task completion and creation happening at more than twice the rate seen in personal use, Crypto Briefing reports. The dataset covers activity from July 2024 to June 2026, offering a longer view than a snapshot of launch-week curiosity.
The report says messages from users aged 35 and over rose in nearly every country tracked. It also puts image generation and other non-text interactions at 7.8% of messages globally, with Brazil and Colombia each above 10%.
Those figures describe ChatGPT users, not everyone using AI. Crypto Briefing notes that the data does not establish that ChatGPT Work caused the work-use pattern: the figures and product launch may coincide, but that is not proof of cause.

OpenAI Watch Update What changedOpenAI’s expanded ChatGPT Signals release adds quarterly data from Q1 2025 to Q3 2026, letting researchers track work-related activity across 165 categories and nearly 100 countries. In 74 countries with data for every quarter, the ten most common activities made up an average 51.1% of classified work messages in Q3 2026, down from 56% in Q1 2025.
OpenAI says this points to work-related use becoming less concentrated in the most common activities, with countries specialising in different types of work over time.
The company links the categories to ONET, a standard framework for comparing work activities.
OpenAI says identifying information is removed before automated classification, individual conversations are not read by researchers, and published aggregates use small-group suppression and statistical noise.
