A screenshot shared in an X post appears to show an “o” always-on assistant listed among the benefits of ChatGPT Pro. The image displays a $100 monthly tier and the wording “o, your always-on assistant,” but it does not explain what the feature does or establish that it is available.

In the post, @koltregaskes describes “o” as OpenAI’s “new always on agent” and says it was “leaked by... themselves.” That is the post author’s interpretation, not an official OpenAI announcement. The image’s provenance, authenticity, current status and publication intent are unknown, and the X post is not an official OpenAI announcement.

What the reported “o” reference shows

The screenshot is headed “Get ChatGPT Pro” and describes the plan as “Frontier intelligence, available in 1 tier.” It shows a “$100.00 Standard” option and lists several benefits under “Everything in Plus, and:”

  • Most capable frontier models

  • “o, your always-on assistant”

  • More Work and Codex usage

  • Maximum memory

  • 100 GB file storage

  • Early access to new features

The screen also says that the subscription auto-renews monthly and can be canceled at any time. These are labels shown in the captured subscription interface, not an explanation of how the listed benefits work.

The image places the “o” reference within a ChatGPT Pro benefits list rather than presenting a separate product page. It does not show a feature walkthrough, settings page, release notice or explanation of the assistant’s capabilities.

What “always-on” does not tell us

The screenshot does not explain what “always-on” means in practice. It does not establish whether the reported assistant would monitor information, wait for commands, perform tasks autonomously, run continuously in the background or mean something else entirely. No supported examples show what users could ask it to do.

The screenshot also does not establish whether “o” is a final product name, an internal label, a temporary description or a typographical error. The post itself acknowledges that possibility in a reply, but that speculation does not resolve it.

The $100 figure is shown for the ChatGPT Pro tier. The screenshot does not present a separate price for “o” or explain whether the assistant could be purchased independently of the plan.

Has OpenAI officially announced “o”?

The screenshot shows a ChatGPT Pro subscription interface, but the supplied material does not establish whether the image is authentic, current, intentionally published or representative of a generally available feature. Nothing in the post amounts to an official OpenAI announcement.

There is also no supported launch date, availability information, device list, regional rollout or confirmation that users can access the assistant now. Until OpenAI provides documentation or a direct announcement, “o” is best described as a reported reference in a ChatGPT Pro screen—not as a launched or confirmed always-on assistant.

What remains to be confirmed is the meaning of the name, the scope of any always-on operation, the tasks the assistant would support and whether the item will become an actual ChatGPT feature.
