ChatGPT agent is here from OpenAI which promises to take over your computer, handle your tasks and take your consent for doing all this.

ChatGPT agent promises to control your computer but with your permission
AI agents are coming in all shapes and forms and OpenAI is bringing its ChatGPT agent to the market this week. The AI chatbot is evolving fast and as the market demands the company is entering the AI agent arena with ChatGPT at the helm. “ChatGPT can now do work for you using its own computer, handling complex tasks from start to finish," which pretty much sums up what an AI agent offers and ChatGPT is taking this avatar for its users.
But unlike other host of AI agents in the market, OpenAI is utilising its higher ability and dataset to deliver a seamless and effective experience.
ChatGPT Agent: What OpenAI Promises For You
So what does OpenAI offer with the ChatGPT agent and how is it better than others in the market? The company says it is using the blend of Operator, deep research and ChatGPT itself to cohesively offer a unified agentic experience. You just have to give instructions to the ChatGPT agent and let the virtual computer handle complex tasks and give them with reasoning, something that other agents might not offer as of today.
The company assures that the AI agent will not stray away from your instructions, and it will seek your permission to take actions. If you feel the AI agent is not delivering what you want, you can pause the action and manually take over the browser tasks and stop the AI agent from operating.
The ChatGPT AI agent seems to have outscored its other AI models in expert-level Maths and Humanity exams. OpenAI is bringing ChatGPT Agent for ChatGPT Pro, Plus and Team users who can enable the agent from the regular ChatGPT interface available to them. Here’s how you can enable AI agent on ChatGPT

We’ve also seen Gemini AI Pro and Perplexity Pro premium versions available free of charge for 1 year in India if you have a student ID or use an Airtel number/WiFi service in the country. ChatGPT might be eyeing a similar model that will fuel its need to increase user base and free always does the trick.
