OpenAI just fixed ChatGPT’s most annoying business problem: meet the PDF export that changes everything

Summary
OpenAI’s new PDF export capability allows users to download reports with fully preserved formatting, tables, images and clickable citations, in an effort to target enterprise customers and intensify competition in the AI research assistant market.
The company’s focus on the enterprise market follows the creation of a new “Applications” division under Instacart CEO Fidji Simo, which signals OpenAI’s recognition that business growth depends on packaging capabilities to solve business problems.
The new offering comes as competition in the AI research assistant market intensifies, with Anthropic challenging Deep Research’s core functionality of synthesising information from across the web and You.com offering faster results.
To gain a competitive edge, OpenAI has realised that AI tools need to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, rather than requiring users to adopt new ones, in order to gain widespread enterprise adoption.
