WHAT HAPPENED

On September 16, 2026, OpenAI published How to connect AI usage to business value. Analytics in the ChatGPT Admin Console bring together usage and cost data, task insights, and outcome metrics across ChatGPT Work and Codex. Usage view: active users, credits, token usage; filter by group/user. Task classifier in Insights groups sample messages into use cases/tasks (e.g. software engineering feature development/code maintenance; sales & revenue account research/planning). Task details: Models, Reasoning, Speed breakdowns for credits — training/support targeting; Plugin leaderboard and Skills view. Outcomes view tracks Codex contributions to merged commits and lines of code plus code-review activity. Admin plugin and API to analyze trends and share findings. Connect analytics to business outcomes; illustrative/hypothetical ROI example on page. Screenshots use illustrative demo data (OpenAI). Customer examples OpenAI-cited (not ElevateU-verified): 1Password (553% ROI / $0.8M capacity cited), ATV Big Air Tour (listing/inventory time cuts), Playco (GPT-6 Astra; 50% fewer manual fixes cited). Short Datadog quote: Bharadwaj Tanikella. Privacy: don’t train on org business data by default (OpenAI). keep separate from with Sep 16 ChatGPT Ads / Sponsored Agents Signal.

WHY IT MATTERS
