Big news! 🎉 ChatGPT just got a major upgrade, say hello to the new ChatGPT Agent. It’s like your personal AI assistant, but way more proactive, helpful, and hands-on.
ChatGPT Agent is the next evolution of AI assistance, it doesn’t just chat with you, it thinks and acts using its own virtual computer. It can proactively choose from a toolbox of skills to execute complex multistep workflows on your behalf, seamlessly combining research, analysis, and real-world web interaction.
Think tasks like:
“Check my calendar and summarize upcoming meetings based on recent news.”
“Plan and purchase ingredients for a Japanese breakfast for four.”
“Analyze competitor websites and generate an editable slide deck.”
Think of the new agent as a smarter version of ChatGPT that doesn’t just answer your questions, it takes action. Whether you’re trying to plan a trip, organize your schedule, write code, analyze data, or even generate custom images or videos, this AI agent has you covered.
Here’s what the new ChatGPT Agent brings to the table:
🔍 Browse the Web – Need real-time info? The agent can search the internet for you.
📊 Analyze Data – Upload files, and it can crunch numbers, build charts, or summarize key insights.
🧠 Use Memory – It remembers your preferences and past chats (only if you want it to).
🎨 Generate Images & Videos – Describe a scene, and it brings it to life visually.
🔧 Use Tools – Think of it like AI with plugins: it can run code, call APIs, or use third-party tools.
ChatGPT Agent merges two powerful prior tools:
Operator, which allowed structured web browsing actions like clicking, typing, and filling forms.
Deep Research, which conducted multistep data synthesis and created detailed reports.
Now unified, the agent fluidly transitions between reasoning and action, from browsing and analysis to automating workflows without switching tools.
From smart browsing to powerful terminal actions, the ChatGPT Agent is equipped with features that make everyday and professional tasks easier. Here's what you can expect:
Visual Browser & Terminal: Navigate websites with mouse/keyboard actions, run code, perform data analysis, and generate slides or spreadsheets.
Connectors: Read‑only access to tools like Gmail, GitHub, or Drive to enhance responses and update results.
User Control at Every Step: The agent asks for your permission before taking any action that affects accounts or performs sensitive tasks. You can stop or take over the browser at any point.
Because it’s no longer just about chatting, it’s about getting things done. This agent can:
Plan your day
Draft emails
Book appointments (coming soon)
Customize content for your audience
Help debug code or design apps
ChatGPT Agent is available now to Pro, Plus, and Team subscribers starting July 17, 2025 (rollouts for Enterprise and Education coming soon). Users in Switzerland and the EEA will gain access once regulatory conditions are met.
OpenAI built strong protections into ChatGPT Agent to help ensure safe usage:
Watch Mode for sensitive sites (like email or finance), pausing actions unless supervised.
Prompt-Injection Mitigations triggered by malicious web content.
Limited terminal access, memory disabled, and mandatory user confirmations before actions.
"Hey ChatGPT, I need a 7-day itinerary for Bali with surfing spots and vegan cafes."
The agent will search, compile, and organize everything into a clear travel plan, even with map links. 🏄♂️🥗
