OpenAI Just Released “ChatGPT Agent” — Here’s What You Need to Know

OpenAI quietly rolled out a powerful new feature: ChatGPT Agent.

It’s much more than plugins or tools — it’s a true digital task automator that can browse the web, research, plan, and execute tasks for you, while keeping you in control.

✅ What is ChatGPT Agent?

It’s an integrated agent that combines browsing, data gathering, and action-taking inside a virtual computer.

You just tell it what you want, in plain English — and it figures out the steps, does the research, fills forms, creates docs or slides, even books things — and only asks for your approval when needed.

🌍 Where does it work?

The agent operates in a secure virtual environment, where it can:

Browse websites and collect information
Fill out forms
Generate slides, spreadsheets, or reports
Manage your calendar
Shop online or place orders

🚀 Why is it different?

No need to learn special prompts or APIs
No juggling plugins or external tools
Acts more like an executive assistant using apps and a browser — just like a human would

🔑 Who can use it now?

Available for Pro, Plus, and Team users today. ( still rolling out )
