The New ChatGPT Compass — the One-Account/Three-Tools Map, All 12 Work Features With the Exact Clicks, the 5 Dead Features With Dates, and the 10-Minute Setup Checklist
The companion to the video. ChatGPT split into three tools this summer — and every tutorial saved before July describes an app that's gone. This compass is the new world on printable pages. PAGE 2 — THE MAP: one account, three tools (Chat answers you, Work delivers finished files to you, Codex builds software), exactly where the switcher lives, which door to open when, and the one honest money line — the chat side is free, the agent side is what the paid plans buy. PAGES 3–5 — ALL 12 WORK FEATURES, each with what it is in one sentence, the exact click-path, and honest plan availability: the thinking slider behind the model pill in the composer (Instant to Extra High — Free/Go get Luna with unlimited text chats and the Think button), memory and Temporary Chat (Settings → Memory to see and delete anything it knows), Projects (a folder with a brain — write your context once), the Library and the full-screen writing editor (Free 500MB → Pro 100GB, 'Add from library' so you never re-upload), web search and deep research (search answers a question — deep research answers a decision), ChatGPT Work itself (hand it a job, get back real spreadsheets, memos, and presentations — with permission gates before consequential steps), plugins (Gmail, Drive, Figma, Jira — and the Settings → Apps permission control you should set to 'always ask' on day one), scheduled tasks (the Monday-morning briefing that stays silent unless something changed), the new voice that you can interrupt mid-sentence, and Sites — Work output published as a live shareable page. PAGE 6 — THE GRAVEYARD: the 5 features the internet is still teaching, all officially dead with dates — Canvas (removed May 28, replaced by inline writing blocks and the full-screen editor), Pulse (sunset Jun 17, replaced by scheduled tasks), group chats (read-only since Jul 9), the Atlas browser (switched off Aug 9, abilities moved into Work), and the DALL·E GPT (retires Aug 30 — images live inside ChatGPT itself now). PAGE 7 — THE 10-MINUTE SETUP CHECKLIST: make one project and write its instructions once, schedule one recurring task, slide the brain dial up on the questions that matter, set plugin permissions to always ask, and prune your memory page. Every claim verified against OpenAI's official release notes and the live chatgpt.com interface, August 13, 2026. Independent guide from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with OpenAI.
