Map your product against the DevDay platform shift — before your users do

Prompt: OpenAI DevDay 2026 shipped Pages (collaborative AI docs), Spaces (team AI workspaces), Slides (agent-editable decks), Code Review (GitHub PR automation), Dots (always-on background agents), and a Marketplace with Figma, Adobe, Salesforce, Harvey, and CrowdStrike. ChatGPT now has 1.2B weekly users and a platform that competes with Notion, Google Workspace, Cursor, and Slack simultaneously. Our product: [describe what you build and who uses it].

1. Overlap check — which of our core features could a user now replicate inside ChatGPT Space without leaving?

2. Moat audit — what do we offer that ChatGPT's platform cannot replicate — and is that still true in 12 months?

3. Integration opportunity — could we become a ChatGPT plugin, a Marketplace partner, or a "Sign in with ChatGPT" integration — and what's the upside vs lock-in risk?

End with the one strategic decision this platform shift forces us to make this quarter.
