OpenAI has officially introduced ChatGPT Agent, its newest autonomous AI assistant designed to perform complex tasks on your behalf.
This cutting-edge tool blends the conversational fluency of ChatGPT with features from OpenAI’s Operator prototype, allowing it to execute multi-step actions across the web and integrated apps with ease.
The new ChatGPT Agent marks a significant leap forward in agentic AI. It operates using a virtual computer that can fluidly switch between reasoning and action, handling complex workflows from start to finish—all based on natural language instructions.
So, what exactly can ChatGPT Agent do? Users can delegate a variety of tasks such as rescheduling meetings, updating spreadsheets, crafting presentation slides, and compiling detailed research reports.
It can also manage travel planning from end to end, including booking flights, hotels, and activities, or even setting appointments directly into your calendar.
What sets ChatGPT Agent apart is its ability to connect with third-party services like Gmail, Google Calendar, and GitHub. This allows it to extract relevant data and perform tasks seamlessly based on user prompts. For instance, it can check your schedule, book a flight, and even notify colleagues—all without needing further input once the task is set.
Behind the scenes, ChatGPT Agent is powered by a new, advanced AI model trained to manage tasks involving multiple tools such as web browsers, code terminals, and visual interfaces. While OpenAI has not disclosed specific technical details, the functionality signals a leap toward general-purpose digital assistants capable of real-world productivity.
The rollout of ChatGPT Agent will be staged. It is currently available for ChatGPT Pro users, while Plus and Team subscribers will gain access starting Monday. Users will notice a new “Agent” mode in the ChatGPT tools dropdown, marking the beginning of a more autonomous AI experience.
