Forget search bars, ChatGPT will just get it done
OpenAI has launched a new AI agent for ChatGPT that can handle more advanced, real-world tasks.
It’s now available for users on the Pro, Plus, and Team plans.
This update means ChatGPT can do more than just respond to questions, it can take action.
For example, you could ask it to help plan an outfit for a wedding, and it’ll factor in the weather, dress code, and even browse the web to place an order.
It does all this using a built-in virtual computer equipped with tools that can interact with websites and follow multi-step instructions.
You can also link apps like Gmail or GitHub, so it can pull in extra context to complete tasks more smoothly.
In brief:
ChatGPT’s agent can browse the web, plan tasks, and take action.
It connects with apps like Gmail and GitHub for personalised results.
Now live for Pro, Plus, and Team users.
Gmail? GitHub? Connected
The update builds on OpenAI’s previous features, combining browsing, reasoning, and automation into one tool.
It’s part of a wider shift in the tech world, as companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle continue to invest in AI agents to improve workflows and cut down manual work.
Me: needs to book a flight — ChatGPT: “Done. Also packed your bag.”
