📰 ChatGPT Agent Is Here—and It Can Actually Get Things Done For You ChatGPT Agent can perform full workflows across the web: it clicks buttons, fills out forms, scrapes data, runs code, and even builds slide decks. You talk to it in natural language, it figures out what to do, and gets to work using a virtual computer that mimics how a person uses a browser and desktop. It integrates with tools like Gmail, Google Calendar, and APIs via connectors and is available now to Pro, Plus, and Team users. Please use this technology responsibly. There are MAJOR safety and security implications for a tool like this. OpenAI has done a LOT to try to add guardrails to it, but it introduces a major new attack surface that OpenAI is aware that they may never be able to fully anticipate and cover. That said, general purpose AI agents like this are incredible to see in action and will completely change how you work. https://lnkd.in/eSdX6nCs
This shift to agents handling workflows is fascinating. It makes me wonder about the new skill sets professionals will need to master, focusing on instructing and validating AI execution rather than manual task completion. The potential for efficiency is immense, but managing the associated risks will be key.
Nice write up Chris!

This is a game-changer! The idea of AI agents that can take meaningful actions—not just answer questions—opens up so many possibilities for productivity, automation, and even creativity. Excited to see how this evolves and integrates into workflows. Do you think we'll see widespread adoption in business processes first, or will consumer use cases lead the way? Thanks for sharing, Chris!
Feels like we’re entering the next chapter of AI usability! This is going to change workflows fast. Chris McKay

3wHey Chris McKay ! This is awesome! I’ve been asking everyone without getting an answer. Is this rolled out to Plus subs for India as well? As it doesn’t show up to me on the browser. 🥲
