OpenAI's New ChatGPT Agent launched this week Overview OpenAI has introduced a powerful new feature for ChatGPT Pro, Plus, and Team users: the ChatGPT Agent. Built on top of GPT-4o, it enables autonomous task execution via a virtual computer. It’s not a new model but an upgrade that allows real-world actions. Top 5 Features 1. Gets Things Done - Goes beyond chatting: plans trips, finds deals, creates meal plans, downloads files. - Outputs usable formats like checklists or slideshows. - Can be monitored live or paused for changes. 2. Smart Browsing - Uses either: - Selects the best tool based on task complexity. 3. Connectors to Real-World Accounts - Integrates with: - Can access calendars, summarize emails, and retrieve docs — with user consent and without storing passwords. 4. Technical Task Automation - Uses terminal, browser, and coding tools. - Executes complex tasks: data analysis, scripting, financial modeling. - Outperformed humans in spreadsheet-related benchmarks. 5. Full User Control - Always asks for permission before sensitive actions. - Activates "watch mode" for transparency. - Can be stopped or redirected anytime. Availability - Available for Pro, Plus, and Team users. - Enterprise access coming soon. - Not available on the free tier. I think plus accounts get it this coming week. Anyone tried it yet?
