OpenAI has unveiled Agent Mode, a groundbreaking upgrade for ChatGPT that allows it to not just think, but act autonomously, handling complex multi-step tasks on your behalf. Using a suite of integrated tools, Agent Mode can:

Browse the web, compose emails, update calendars, and manage spreadsheets.

Run code, analyze data, and create presentations and slide decks.

Seamlessly interact with connectors like Gmail, GitHub, and Google Calendar for streamlined workflows.

This mode elevates ChatGPT’s functionality by merging capabilities from earlier features—Operator (web interactions), Deep Research (data synthesis), and traditional ChatGPT intelligence.

Who has access? Currently available to Pro, Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Education subscribers, with broader rollout expected soon.

Safety measures: OpenAI built in safeguards like permission requests for sensitive actions and protection on tasks like financial transactions. However, concerns remain about data privacy, potential misuse, and AI hallucinations.

Impact: This agentic AI represents a major leap toward autonomous assistance—not just generative conversations. It’s capable of significantly reducing workload in professional and personal tasks, while raising new questions about the balance between power and control.
