OpenAI’s ChatGPT Work Now Mirrors Your Personal Writing Style

OpenAI has just rolled out a rather handy upgrade for ChatGPT Work. In plain English, the chatbot can now watch the way you write – the words you favor, the way you punctuate, that little sign‑off you never change – and then produce drafts that sound just like you.

How does it pull this off? The secret sauce is simple (and a bit invasive, if you’re cautious about privacy). You link the everyday tools you already use – Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, SharePoint – and the AI quietly scans the messages, emails and documents stored there. It looks for patterns: recurring phrases, preferred spelling, the rhythm of your sentences, even the emotional tone you tend to adopt.

Once it has a decent picture, the model can generate text that mirrors those habits. Need to reply to a client? ChatGPT can suggest a reply that starts with your customary "Hey there," ends with your favorite "Best regards," and uses the same informal‑formal balance you usually strike.

It’s worth noting that the learning happens only from the connected workplace apps, not from anything you type directly into the ChatGPT window. So the bot won’t start mimicking you just because you typed a random note in the chat – it’s still respecting that boundary.

Want to turn this feature on? Jump into ChatGPT on the web, head to Settings → Personalisation, and flip the “Writing Style” switch. The change propagates across both web and mobile versions, but for now it’s limited to paid subscribers who have access to the ChatGPT Work suite.

In practice, this means fewer generic AI responses and more drafts that feel personal, saving you the little editing steps you’d normally take. It’s a subtle but potentially big productivity boost for anyone who spends a lot of time drafting emails, reports or Slack updates.

Of course, with great power comes the usual privacy considerations. OpenAI says the data is used only to improve the personalisation feature and isn’t shared beyond the user’s own account. Still, it’s a good idea to review the permissions you grant and decide which apps you’re comfortable linking.

All in all, if you’re already paying for ChatGPT Work, this new style‑mimicry feels like a natural next step – a little AI that learns to write the way you do, without you having to explain every nuance.
