They’ve launched something big: ChatGPT Agent. This isn’t just another chatbot. It’s a real AI assistant that can actually get things done for you. Think checking your calendar, booking restaurants, planning a family breakfast, pulling competitor insights, or even creating a full slide deck. And it’s available now for Pro, Plus, and Team users.

What makes it different? ChatGPT Agent runs on its own virtual computer. That gives it the ability to navigate websites, fill out forms, run searches, and process files all in one seamless flow. It was trained using reinforcement learning and brings together the best features of OpenAI’s previous tools, Operator and Deep Research.

You can tweak your request mid-task, and it will adapt. Before doing anything important like sending an email or making a booking, it asks for your confirmation. It’s not built to be instant, but it’s designed for complex work. You can start a task, let it run in the background, and come back when it’s done.

Financial actions are still restricted, and OpenAI added safeguards for sensitive use cases. That includes a “watch mode” to make sure the tool doesn’t stray on critical websites or actions.

Why does this matter? Because AI agents are quickly becoming the next frontier. Klarna’s AI already replaced the workload of 700 human agents in just one month. Google, Meta, and Amazon are all moving fast in this direction. Everyone’s chasing the same dream—a smart, capable assistant that works like Iron Man’s J.A.R.V.I.S.

While others talk, OpenAI just shipped it. And this could be the moment everything changes.
