ChatGPT Agent Is Here
· News
OpenAI just turned ChatGPT from a smart chatbot into a real digital assistant.
Meet ChatGPT Agent — a new feature that gives ChatGPT the power to think, plan, and act. It can browse websites, fill out forms, run code, and even generate reports or slide decks — all without you lifting a finger.
Forget switching tabs or doing everything step-by-step. Just give it a task, and it handles the rest.
What Can ChatGPT Agent Actually Do?
The Agent blends browsing, research, and execution. A few wild examples:
- ✈️ Plan a trip: Tell it your travel dates and preferences. It checks your calendar, compares flight options, weather, prices — and books the best one.
- 🍽️ Book dinner: It finds a free evening, checks restaurants near you, scans reviews, and makes the reservation.
- 📊 Generate reports: Upload your sales data and ask it to create a summary slide deck — it’ll analyze, format, and give you a downloadable presentation.
You give it the intent — it handles the execution from A to Z.
Why It’s a Big Deal
ChatGPT Agent combines the brains of past OpenAI tools (like Deep Research and Operator) into one autonomous system. It can now:
- Browse like a user (even click, scroll, log in)
- Execute code in a secure terminal
- Use your Google Calendar, Drive, Gmail, and more via connectors
- Create files (spreadsheets, slide decks, reports) as output
And it does this with zero micromanagement from you.
It’s the first time we’re seeing an AI assistant that doesn’t just suggest — it does.
Who Can Use It?
Agent is now rolling out to:
- ChatGPT Pro (400 tasks/month)
- Plus and Team (40 tasks/month)
Enterprise and education support is coming soon. Just type /agent in ChatGPT or find it in the Tools dropdown to get started.
⚠️ Note: Not yet available in the EU/EEA or Switzerland.
Safety and Control Built In
Don’t worry — it’s not going rogue.
- You stay in the loop. It asks for permission before sensitive steps.
- There’s a watch mode for higher-risk actions.
- You can pause or stop the task anytime.
- Every step is logged and reviewable — full transparency.
It’s powerful, but you’re always the one in control.
Summary
OpenAI just gave ChatGPT superpowers. You can now ask it to do the kind of stuff you’d usually do across 5 tabs and 30 minutes — and it delivers. From booking, researching, planning to file generation, this is your first real taste of AI action.
Try it. It’s wild.
