About ChatGPT Agent

ChatGPT Agent is a new mode within ChatGPT that enables the AI to proactively complete tasks using its own virtual computer. It combines Operator's web interaction capabilities, deep research's information synthesis, and ChatGPT's conversational intelligence. The agent can intelligently navigate websites, filter results, run code, conduct analysis, and create deliverables such as editable slideshows and spreadsheets. It requests permission before taking consequential actions and allows users to interrupt, take over the browser, or stop tasks at any time. Accessible to Pro, Plus, and Team subscribers through the tools dropdown in the composer.
