OpenAI has launched a powerful new AI agent for its popular chatbot ChatGPT, giving it the ability to complete complex, multi-step tasks across the web.
The new feature, rolled out on Thursday, is now available to users subscribed to ChatGPT’s Pro, Plus, and Team plans.
This AI agent builds on OpenAI’s earlier tools like operator and deep research, combining web interaction, reasoning, and virtual computing to deliver more advanced functionality. For example, the AI can now order an outfit for a wedding, taking into account variables like dress code, weather, and user preferences — all without needing step-by-step guidance from the user.
The new agent is designed to boost productivity and automate workflows, as major tech players like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle continue to invest heavily in similar AI assistant technology.
What sets OpenAI’s agent apart is its ability to use a virtual computer with integrated tools and connect with third-party apps such as Gmail and GitHub. This allows ChatGPT to retrieve and analyze user data, making its responses more personalized and task-oriented.
With the AI race heating up, OpenAI’s latest move aims to position ChatGPT as more than just a chatbot — turning it into a versatile digital assistant capable of managing real-world tasks autonomously.
