The AI company's new product can order a wedding dress and complete other complex tasks. CEO Sam Altman called it "a new level of capability for AI systems."

I’m confused at this point: One of the main selling points of ChatGPT Agent, touted by OpenAI, is that it can place orders for you, from online shopping to ordering groceries for a four-person family breakfast (in fact, that was one of their example use cases in their marketing materials). I pressed ChatGPT Agent on the subject.

The new agent differs from the Operator in that it has "deep research" capabilities that enable it to synthesize more data that it collects from the internet

OpenAI is fully embracing this trend by introducing ChatGPT Agent on Thursday, describing it as a tool that uses its own “virtual computer” to perform tasks on your behalf. The new software is available to subscribers of OpenAI’s Pro, Plus, and Team plans. To enable it, users only need to select “agent mode” from ChatGPT's dropdown menu.

OpenAI has launched new agent functionality in ChatGPT that can perform tasks outside the chatbot, even while you're away.

Isa Fulford, the research lead for OpenAI’s new ChatGPT agent, needed to order a bunch of cupcakes, so she asked the AI tool to do it for her. “I was very specific about what I wanted, and it was a lot of cupcakes,” she says. “That one took almost an hour—but it was easier than me doing it myself, because I didn't want to do it.”

OpenAI announced the launch of ChatGPT agent, which the company claims to be its most capable AI agent product yet.

The digital assistant will be capable of completing web-based tasks like updating spreadsheets, purchasing ingredients or submitting expenses, according to OpenAI.

OpenAI is preparing on taking a percentage of sales when users buy products directly via ChatGPT using its built-in checkout feature.
