BREAKING: OpenAI just released ChatGPT agent. I just tried it and I'm blown away. (It did a tesco food shop for me and ordered a roast dinner with sticky toffee pudding):

Key capabilities: • Handles tasks from start to finish autonomously • Navigates websites and clicks through interfaces • Conducts deep research across multiple sources • Runs code and performs complex analysis • Creates editable slideshows and spreadsheets

What makes this different: 1. Combines Operator's web browsing + Deep Research's analysis 2. Uses its own virtual computer with full context 3. Requests permission before consequential actions 4. You can interrupt and take control anytime

Availability: → Pro users: Available today → Plus/Team users: Rolling out over next few days → Pro gets 400 messages/month, others get 40

My takeaway: I asked it to “Help me do a tesco shop for a roast dinner this weekend for two people. Include a treat for desert.” Watching it navigate websites, prompt me for login details, add items to cart, and complete the entire process autonomously was incredible.

I used such a basic prompt today but you can be specific about your: - Financial budget - Dietary preferences - What you ordered last week We're moving from "single-player" to "multiplayer" AI.

The era of AI agents doing real work has officially begun. And you have full control with human in the loop. Follow me @thealexbanks for daily AI highlights and insights.
