ChatGPT agent is a unified agentic system developed by šOpenAI that enables the model to both think and act, performing complex tasks by proactively choosing from a set of agentic skills using its own virtual computer. This system integrates three primary strengths from earlier advancesāOperatorās interactive web abilities, deep researchās information synthesis, and šChatGPTās conversational intelligenceāallowing users to automate workflows that combine research, website navigation, coding, and document creation. Users can activate agent mode to instruct ChatGPT to handle end-to-end tasks such as scheduling, analysis, report creation, and more, often across multiple tools, including visual and text browsers, terminals, and API access. Notably, it maintains user oversight, requiring explicit permission before taking consequential actions, and offers robust privacy and safety features. The agent demonstrates state-of-the-art performance across real-world benchmarks, significantly expanding ChatGPTās practical and professional utility.
