# ChatGPT Slides launches in Space

Full title: ChatGPT Slides rolls out in Space: collaborative AI-built decks for Pro, Business and Enterprise; GPT-6 Pro gets parallel agents

On Oct 16, 2026 OpenAI's ChatGPT release notes announced Slides, promised at DevDay (Sept 29): eligible Pro, Business and Enterprise users with Space access can have ChatGPT build a deck from a conversation, files, an outline or an example deck, edit it with teammates in real time, present it inside ChatGPT and export it to PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides. The same notes reportedly gave GPT-6 Pro multiple agents that handle parts of a task in parallel. It extends OpenAI's push into Microsoft Office's and Google Workspace's territory.

## Key facts
- Release notes dated Oct 16, 2026 (help.openai.com; blocked for us, read via AI Brief and other summaries): rolling out gradually on web and desktop to eligible Pro, Business and Enterprise users with Space access; started by asking ChatGPT in Work to create a presentation in Space
- Features: start from a conversation, files, an outline or an example deck; edit text, images, shapes and charts directly or by asking ChatGPT; real-time co-editing with invited teammates and shared comments; slideshow inside ChatGPT
- Export: PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides on the web; on desktop decks open in PowerPoint or Keynote if installed
- Not at launch: Plus (and apparently Free) accounts; decks have view and edit roles only (no comment-only role, unlike Pages), per Beri.net
- Same release-notes batch (per AI Brief): GPT-6 Pro gained 'multiple agents that can handle parts of a task in parallel'; no further detail
- Background: Slides, Pages and Space were announced at DevDay on Sept 29, 2026 ('in the coming weeks')

## What happened

Two and a half weeks after DevDay, OpenAI began rolling out Slides, the presentation part of ChatGPT's Space workspace. ChatGPT builds a deck
from a chat or files; people and ChatGPT then edit it together, and it can be exported to the Office and Google formats. Our sources are
summaries of OpenAI's release notes; we could not open the notes or the feature page ourselves, hence confidence medium.

## Why it matters

With Pages and Slides, ChatGPT now covers documents and presentations natively, competing with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Google Workspace
with Gemini and Anthropic's Claude docs and slides tools (Sept 2026).
