OpenAI releases 'Agent Mode' as it looks for a much-needed win
Briefly

OpenAI launched 'Agent Mode' for ChatGPT, allowing users to perform complex tasks by utilizing the AI's own computing power. This feature includes managing calendars and providing updates on client meetings, as well as planning meals. Starting immediately, Pro, Plus, and Team users can access this capability through a simple tools dropdown. This development comes during a challenging period for OpenAI, marked by intense competition from major tech companies and internal challenges, underscoring its position as a leading AI company.
OpenAI said the new tool is a ChatGPT agent that can tackle complex tasks 'using its own computer.' That includes requests like 'look at my calendar and brief me on upcoming client meetings based on recent news' and 'plan and buy ingredients to make Japanese breakfast for four.'
Starting today, Pro, Plus, and Team users can activate ChatGPT's new agentic capabilities directly through the tools dropdown from the composer by selecting 'agent mode' at any point in any conversation.
The release is a much-needed distraction from what has been a bumpy summer for the world's premier AI startup. OpenAI has faced increased competition from Big Tech giants like Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft recently.
With the release of Agent Mode, the ChatGPT maker is reminding everyone that it's still, for now, the leading AI company out there.
