Summary
AI is moving from tools that primarily answer questions to systems that can reason across context, use other tools, and help carry out complex, multi-step work. As students and educators return to classrooms and campuses this fall, they're introducing three new education plugins for ChatGPT Work and Codex, specifically designed to help students and educators leverage agentic capabilities using the course materials and context they choose. This builds on the principle that guides their work in education: AI should support learning, not shortcut it, and the best learning experiences keep educators and students in control. The new plugins include one for college students, one for K–12 educators, and one for college educators.
