- Code & Browser Control: WorkCloud offers a headless Chrome environment, capable of cloning GitHub repos, running Playwright for browser automation (clicking, forms, screenshots), and executing JavaScript to extract data.
- Persistent Workspace: Different Work sessions share a file system (e.g., /workspace/scratch), allowing multiple agents to接力 process the same files sequentially.
- One-Click Deployment: ChatGPT Sites gathers data, generates code, and deploys websites directly (via Cloudflare Workers), supporting cron jobs for data updates.
- Self-Documentation: By instructing Work to build its own documentation site, Simon discovered 223 tools and 44 Skills, unlocking full browser automation guides.
