OpenAI releases Signals data on how ChatGPT is used for 165 work activities
Sorted AI27 OctOpenAI Economic Research has released OpenAI Signals data covering 165 Intermediate Work Activities across nearly 100 countries, showing how consumers use ChatGPT for work from the first quarter of 2025 through the third quarter of 2026. The release maps messages to O*NET-style work activity categories and is meant for researchers to compare countries and track change over time; it covers individual ChatGPT plans only, not enterprise or Codex. Across 74 countries observed every quarter, OpenAI says the ten most common activities fell from 56.0% of each country's classified work messages in Q1 2025 to 51.1% in Q3 2026. Privacy steps include automated classification after identifiers are removed, aggregated statistics, withholding small groups and adding statistical noise.
Why it matters: If you plan AI training or product features for work, the free Signals download is a concrete map of which tasks people already bring to ChatGPT in your country, without reading any private chats.
