ChatGPT Agent is Live. It Doesn’t Just Talk
OpenAI just debuted Agent Mode in ChatGPT today (July 17), and it’s a major shift: ChatGPT can now act on your behalf using a virtual computer: booking dinner, running spreadsheets, pulling files from Gmail, creating slide decks, shopping online, and more. All with user approval at each step.
This is an evolution of tools like Operator and Deep Research, now merged into one coherent assistant. It blends browsing, research, code ex*****on, and file generation into a single workflow. And yes, it does ask before making purchases or sending emails.
Did you test it yet? What edge cases did you explore?
Here the original presentation:
