OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT’s Projects feature is now available to Free users, expanding access beyond paid tiers. The update also includes larger file uploads, more customisation options, and new memory controls.
According to OpenAI, Free users can now upload up to five files per project, while Plus subscribers can upload 25 and Pro, Business, and Enterprise customers up to 40.
Users will also be able to select colours and icons for projects, as well as manage memory on a project-only basis. The rollout is live on web and Android, with iOS support expected in the coming days.
In a separate development, OpenAI confirmed that the team behind Alex, an AI-powered coding assistant for Xcode, has joined its Codex team.
Daniel Edrisian, co-founder of Alex, said in a post, “When we started out, Xcode had no AI. Building a ‘Cursor for Xcode’ sounded crazy, but we managed to do it anyway. And, over time, we built the best coding agent for iOS & MacOS apps.”
He added, “It is an honour to continue that work at a much bigger scale at OpenAI, along with the incredibly talented Codex team. Our mission is to help people create, and today that is more possible than ever.”
As part of the transition, the Alex app will stop new downloads on October 1, but existing users will continue to be supported. “As long as you have the app installed, our plan is to continue serving you. But there won’t be any new features released,” Edrisian said.
