OpenAI announced yet another reorganization Friday, consolidating certain areas and making company president Greg Brockman the official lead of all things product.
In a memo viewed by The Verge, Brockman wrote that since OpenAI's product strategy for this year is to go all-in on AI agents, the company is combining its products to "invest in a single agentic platform and to merge ChatGPT and Codex into one unified agentic experience for all."
To do this, the company is making a suite of org chart changes, although it's still operating under some of the same ones from last month. That's when AGI boss Fidji Simo went on medical leave and Open …
