OpenAI announced its latest agentic AI called ChatGPT Agent. It combines features from Operator with its ability to interact with websites and ChatGPT’s conversational fluency, alongside deep research skills and information synthesis into ChatGPT so it can get work done on your behalf.
As OpenAI puts it, “ChatGPT Agent carries out tasks using its own virtual computer, fluidly shifting between reasoning and action to handle complex workflows from start to finish, all based on your instructions.”
So what can it do?
You can ask it to automate repetitive work-related tasks like rescheduling meetings, updating spreadsheets or creating presentation slides and research reports. It can also plan and book trips with travel, lodging and activities all from a single prompt or schedule appointments on your behalf.
