How to Use ChatGPT Space, Pages & @ChatGPT (2026)

Last updated: October 5, 2026

ChatGPT Space is OpenAI’s shared team workspace from DevDay 2026: one home where teammates, ChatGPT and their Dots work from the same files, Pages and tasks instead of scattered chats. If your team keeps asking “how do we actually set this up?”, this guide walks through the first Space, your first co-edited Page, scheduled Team Tasks and @ChatGPT inside Slack and Microsoft Teams — with the plan limits that decide what you can use today. It is desk-validated from OpenAI’s DevDay 2026 announcements as reported on 29 September–5 October 2026, not a hands-on workspace test, and every availability claim below carries its source and date.

Quick answer: Set up ChatGPT Space in 15 minutes: create a Space, co-edit Pages, automate Team Tasks and call @ChatGPT in Slack and Teams. Plans, steps, prompts inside.

What is ChatGPT Space, in plain terms?

ChatGPT Space is a shared home for a project, not another chat thread. OpenAI describes it as the place where teammates, ChatGPT and each person’s Dot build on shared knowledge, with conversations, files and decisions kept together (OpenAI DevDay 2026 recap, via MadRobot, 29 September 2026; TheWebTier DevDay roundup, updated October 2026). Inside a Space, Pages are the new document type that people and agents write, research and chart together, and chats can be turned into documents and presentations (AI Beat News DevDay analysis, 4 October 2026). Think of Space as the project room, Pages as the living documents inside it, and @ChatGPT in Slack or Teams as the way to pull that room into the conversation you are already having.

Space sits alongside the model upgrades from the same event — our GPT-6.1 Sol guide covers the cheaper near-flagship model you will feel inside these tools — but Space itself is about where work lives. Fortune, cited in the DevDay recaps, noted the collaboration features could eventually put OpenAI in competition with Google Workspace (Memeburn DevDay recap, October 2026). That ambition only helps you if the setup is right, so start with eligibility before you invite anyone.

Which plan do you need before you start?

Check your plan first — Space, Pages and @ChatGPT are not on Free, and the team automation layer is Business and Enterprise only. The table below collates the plan breakdowns reported from OpenAI’s help centre and DevDay materials by MadRobot (29 September 2026) and TheWebTier (October 2026); re-check your workspace admin console before rolling out, because OpenAI is still staging these features.

Feature Plans reported What to know
ChatGPT Space Pro, Business, Enterprise Desktop and web at launch; mobile can read and share Pages, with editing still to come (MadRobot, 29 September 2026).
Pages Pro, Business, Enterprise Shared documents people and agents edit together, including charts (TheWebTier, October 2026).
Collaborative slides With Space plans Coming in the next few weeks after DevDay; export to PowerPoint or Google Slides (MadRobot, 29 September 2026).
Teams and Team Tasks Business, Enterprise Recurring work on a schedule or triggered by events such as a new email or Slack message (RuntimeWire DevDay keynote summary, October 2026).
@ChatGPT in Slack and Teams Business, Enterprise Mention @ChatGPT in a channel, thread or direct message; colleagues can join in without their own ChatGPT licence (RuntimeWire, October 2026).
Meetings plugin Pro and Business beta macOS desktop app beta; saves summaries and action items into Space and deletes the audio once notes are ready (MadRobot, 29 September 2026).

Two limits catch teams out. First, Dots — the always-on agents that share the Space — exclude Pro users in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the UK at launch, while Business Premium includes Europe (MadRobot availability notes, 29 September 2026); if your Space workflow leans on a Dot, confirm your region before promising it. Second, mobile is read-and-share for Pages today, so do the first build on desktop or web. If you are still on personal plans, the closest free habit to practise now is keeping one tidy project document you can later drop into a Page unchanged.

How do you set up your first Space, step by step?

Allow 15 minutes for a useful first Space: create it on desktop or web, load only the context the project needs, then prove it with one Page and one invited teammate. These steps follow the feature set and availability OpenAI announced at DevDay 2026 (29 September 2026), as detailed by MadRobot, TheWebTier and RuntimeWire; exact button labels can shift during rollout, so treat any renamed control as the same step, not a missing feature.

  1. Confirm the plan and the people. Sign in on desktop or web with a Pro, Business or Enterprise account (MadRobot, 29 September 2026). Pick one real project with two or three collaborators — a launch plan, a research sprint, a weekly report — rather than a test space nobody will revisit.
  2. Create the Space and name it for the outcome. Open Space and create a new shared home for that project. Use an outcome name (“Q4 launch room”, not “AI stuff”) so teammates and agents retrieve the right context later. A Space is where teammates, ChatGPT and Dots build on the same knowledge (TheWebTier, October 2026), so one Space per project beats one Space per department.
  3. Add only the knowledge the project needs. Upload or link the brief, the source files and the latest status document. Resist dumping a whole drive: shared knowledge is the point (AI Beat News, 4 October 2026), but stale context produces confident, outdated Pages. Add a one-line note naming the current source of truth and its date.
  4. Create your first Page from a real task. Start a Page for the document the team already owes — the launch plan, the meeting record, the comparison table. Ask ChatGPT to draft the structure from the Space context, then edit together. Pages are built for humans and agents to write, research and make charts together (TheWebTier, October 2026), so leave comments as questions the agent should answer, not as side chat.
  5. Invite teammates inside the Space, not by screenshot. Add the same two or three collaborators and have each person make one small edit or comment in the Page. This proves permissions while the stakes are low, and it is the moment to agree what belongs in Space versus your existing docs.
  6. Turn one chat into a durable artefact. Take the best planning conversation and save its outcome into the Page — decision, owner, date — instead of leaving it in chat history. DevDay reporting stresses that chats can be turned into documents and presentations inside Space (AI Beat News, 4 October 2026); make that conversion a habit from day one.
  7. Review access before you scale. List who can see the Space, which connected tools it can use, and what must stay out. The permission discipline in our AI Agent Permissions Guide — least access first, approvals for anything that sends or spends — applies to Spaces exactly as it does to standalone agents.

Try this prompt in your first Page: “Using only the files in this Space, draft a one-page project brief with: goal, owner, three milestones with dates, open risks, and decisions still needed. Flag anything the files disagree on instead of guessing.” It forces the agent onto your shared context and surfaces conflicts early — the two things a shared workspace is for.

How do Team Tasks and @ChatGPT in Slack and Teams work?

Team Tasks handle the recurring work; @ChatGPT brings the Space into the channel where the team already talks. Business and Enterprise teams can share Pages and plugins as a team and hand recurring jobs — the weekly update is OpenAI’s own example — to scheduled tasks that run on a timetable or in response to events such as a new email or Slack message (RuntimeWire, October 2026; MadRobot, 29 September 2026). Set up your first Team Task as a read-only digest (“Every Monday 9:00, summarise new files and Page changes in this Space into five bullets in the Page”) and only add write or send permissions after two clean runs. Scheduled automation that drafts is helpful; automation that sends on day one is how teams lose trust in the room.

In Slack and Microsoft Teams, Business and Enterprise users can mention @ChatGPT in any channel or thread to request work, use authorised connected tools, and let teammates add context and refine the result in the conversation — without each colleague needing an individual ChatGPT licence (RuntimeWire, October 2026). Two prompts earn their keep immediately: “@ChatGPT summarise this thread into decisions, owners and deadlines, and save it to our launch Page” and “@ChatGPT using the files in our Space, draft the reply to this customer question and list what you could not verify”. The second prompt matters: an agent that names its gaps is safe to keep in the channel. If @ChatGPT does not appear, the usual causes are plan (Free, Plus and Pro do not include it per the reported breakdown) or an admin who has not enabled the integration — check both before re-inviting the bot.

“Mention ChatGPT in any channel or thread; teammates can join in without their own license.”

What does the Meetings plugin add — and what should you skip for now?

The Meetings plugin turns a call into Space-ready notes; collaborative slides are the piece to wait for. The plugin captures online or in-person meetings, saves personalised summaries and action items into Space, and deletes the audio once the notes are ready; it is in beta in the macOS desktop app for Pro and Business, with Enterprise in limited testing and Windows, iOS and Android support planned (RuntimeWire, October 2026; MadRobot, 29 September 2026). If you are on Windows or mobile-only today, keep taking notes in a Page manually and adopt the plugin when your platform lands — do not contort the workflow around a beta your team cannot open. Collaborative slides, promised within weeks of DevDay with export to PowerPoint and Google Slides (MadRobot, 29 September 2026), deserve the same patience: draft deck content in Pages now so the export has something solid to carry when slides arrive.

Should your team actually move work into Space? Our 15-minute verdict

Move one project into Space this week if your team already loses decisions across chats; stay in your current docs if a single owner writes everything. This decision aid is the original element of this guide — a desk-validated framework built from the DevDay availability and limits above, not a hands-on benchmark, because we have not run a team workspace through it. Score your project honestly:

  1. Lost-decision test. In the last month, did the team re-litigate a decision because it was buried in chat? If yes, Space plus Pages directly pays rent — the artefact replaces the thread.
  2. Recurrence test. Does the project repeat a weekly or triggered job (status update, inbox watch, report)? If yes, Team Tasks on Business or Enterprise justify the admin setup; if no, you are buying a room you will not automate.
  3. Channel test. Does the team live in Slack or Teams? If yes, @ChatGPT there will be used daily; if your team lives in email, Space alone changes little until habits move.
  4. Ownership test. Will one named person curate the Space context weekly — pruning stale files, confirming the source of truth? If nobody owns it, shared knowledge decays into shared confusion.

Score 3–4 out of 4: build the Space today with the steps above. Score 1–2: pilot a single Page for the next owed document and re-score after delivery. Score 0: keep your current stack and revisit when slides and wider mobile editing land. Whichever you choose, keep the audit habit from our Gemini Skills migration guide — narrow, reviewed, stackable units of work beat one broad agent with every permission — because a Space accumulates access exactly the way a skill library does. How we evaluate tools like this is set out on our how we test AI tools page.

Frequently asked questions

Is ChatGPT Space free?

No, on current reporting. Space and Pages are listed for Pro, Business and Enterprise plans, with Team Tasks and @ChatGPT in Slack and Teams for Business and Enterprise (MadRobot, 29 September 2026; TheWebTier, October 2026). Free and Go users should expect to keep using regular ChatGPT chats until OpenAI widens access — OpenAI has not announced a free date, so treat any claimed date as unconfirmed.

Can I edit a Page on my phone?

Read and share, yes; full editing is still to come. Space launched on desktop and web, and mobile can read and share Pages with editing to follow (MadRobot, 29 September 2026). Do the first setup and heavy co-editing on desktop, and use mobile for comments and quick checks.

Do teammates need their own ChatGPT licence to use @ChatGPT?

For Slack and Teams mentions, no — colleagues can participate and refine results without each holding an individual ChatGPT licence, on Business and Enterprise plans (RuntimeWire, October 2026). They still need access to the Slack or Teams workspace itself, and an admin must enable the integration.

When do collaborative slides arrive?

OpenAI said collaborative slides are coming in the weeks after DevDay 2026, with export to PowerPoint or Google Slides (MadRobot, 29 September 2026). No exact date was given in the sources checked on 5 October 2026, so draft deck content in Pages now and export when the feature appears in your workspace.

Sources and methodology

This guide rests on DevDay 2026 reporting that traces back to OpenAI’s 29 September 2026 announcements and help-centre material: MadRobot’s complete DevDay breakdown (29 September 2026) for Space, Pages, slides, Team Tasks, @ChatGPT, Meetings and regional limits; RuntimeWire’s keynote summary (October 2026) for Slack and Teams behaviour, scheduled and event-triggered tasks, and the Meetings audio-deletion detail; and TheWebTier’s DevDay roundup (October 2026) for the collaboration feature set. Plan and availability claims are reported beside their source and date in the text because OpenAI is still rolling these features out — re-check your own workspace before a team rollout. This article is desk-validated, not a hands-on test: no Space was created and no Slack or Teams integration was enabled for this guide, no timings were measured, and prompt examples are original drafting aids, not quoted output. Verification date: 5 October 2026.
