OpenAI has launched the ChatGPT Agent, an AI tool that can control a full virtual computer to handle complex, multi-step tasks. These include things like managing calendars, planning meals, or creating presentations. The agent is built on a new model that combines OpenAI’s Operator and Deep Research technologies and can interact with various apps and websites.
Safety is a top priority: before taking any irreversible actions, the agent always asks for permission, and financial transactions are currently restricted. The agent is now available for Pro, Plus, and Team users and demonstrates OpenAI’s progress toward versatile AI assistants – a trend that’s gaining momentum across the entire industry.
