TLDR
TestingCatalog reports that OpenAI’s upcoming always-on assistant will be called “o.” It says references briefly appeared on ChatGPT’s upgrade screen for some users, while internal configuration entries use “o” as a display name and “-o” as an email suffix. The outlet interprets that suffix as evidence of email handling. It also says the rumored “Aeon” reference names the existing custom Agents implementation for ChatGPT Workspace accounts, and speculates that OpenAI will likely build a consumer-facing “o” assistant on that feature.
