Claude Cowork vs ChatGPT Workspace Agents

I was interested in understanding how ChatGPT's Workspace Agents differ from Claude Cowork. Here are my notes and first impressions:

ChatGPT Workspace Agents does a lot of the same work automation as Claude Cowork, but the main difference seems to be local vs cloud, and solo vs team.

Workspace Agents requires a team to be using at least two seats in ChatGPT business. The agents you create are shared between the team. Also, all agents strictly run in OpenAI's cloud.

Claude Cowork can be used by just one person in a business, if you want. Collaboration happens through shared plugins and snapshots of chats, which is a different than the ChatGPT model.

Confusingly, OpenAI's Codex launched "automations" recently. It's local and single player like Claude Cowork, but not as powerful.
