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.

I think plus accounts get it this coming week.
