The AI That Can Now Take Action for You
OpenAI has officially launched the new ChatGPT Agent, a powerful feature that allows users to delegate real-world tasks directly to the AI. From handling deep research to navigating websites and building presentations, the agent works like a digital assistant — running its own computer to get things done for you.
How to Use ChatGPT Agent Mode?
You can access Agent Mode from the tools dropdown inside any ChatGPT conversation. Just select “agent mode” and describe the task. Whether it’s analyzing competitors, scheduling meetings, or preparing a grocery list, ChatGPT will take over from there.
As the task progresses, you can see exactly what it’s doing. It might open websites, filter results, run code, or draft documents — all using its own virtual tools. You can pause, interrupt, or take control any time.
The agent supports tasks like:
- Researching and summarizing emails
- Booking appointments
- Planning and ordering meals
- Creating decks or spreadsheets
- Syncing with apps like Gmail or Google Calendar
What Makes ChatGPT Agent Different?
ChatGPT Agent blends three core AI strengths:
- Web interaction via a visual browser
- Deep research with summarization
- Natural language fluency
Together, they create a seamless experience where reasoning and action happen in the same flow.
This isn’t just a smarter chatbot. It’s a unified agentic system with its own computer and a full suite of tools: a terminal, browser, and API access. You can even let it interact with websites that require login—just take over the browser to sign in securely.
Always In Control
You don’t lose control. Before taking any major action, ChatGPT asks for permission. You can redirect the task, pause it, or request a summary anytime. The AI adapts to changes and keeps working toward your end goal.
If the task needs more time, it notifies you in the mobile app once it’s complete. And yes, recurring tasks like weekly reports can be scheduled too.
Why It Matters?
With ChatGPT Agent, OpenAI is aiming to move AI from a passive assistant to an active partner. Instead of just offering answers, it now does the work — saving time across personal and professional routines.
These capabilities are now rolling out for Pro, Plus, and Team users.
