Openai launched an artificial intelligence assistant called “Chatgpt Agent” on Thursday, marking the company’s greatest foray into task management applications, which are gaining popularity as users seek a more practical use of their artificial intelligence assistants.
Key facts
Chatgpt Agent can do jobs and various tasks for users, such as creating presentations, buying ingredients for a meal or sending expenses, depending on the ad.
Users can also program tasks so that they are automatically repeated, for example, update spreadsheets with new data at the beginning of each week, Openai explained.
Openai warned that there are “new risks” with these capabilities, noting that, although measures to handle sensitive information on the web have been added, malicious indications on pages could deceive the agent to share private data or “perform harmful actions in sites where the user has logged down session.”
Users can interrupt the agent at any time during their tasks to clarify instructions or completely change the task, allowing him to continue from where he stays without losing progress.
When will chatgpt agent be available?
The AI wizard will be available for Chatgpt Pro users at the end of Thursday, while Chatgpt Plus and Chatgpt Team users will have access “in the next few days,” according to OpenAI. The users of the Enterprise and Education plans will access in the coming weeks.

What privacy measures can users take against chatgpt agent?
Users can eliminate all their navigation data and close session in all active website sessions linked to their tasks with a single click, OpenAi indicated, although cookies will remain in force according to the policy of each site.
What to watch
Openai emphasized that Chatgpt Agent is still in initial stages and that the assistant could make mistakes when generating presentations and offering “rudimentary results.” Improvements in efficiency and depth are expected while looking for a better balance between capabilities and user security.
Additional context
Openai advances in AI for task management have been accompanied by a financing wave. In March, the company closed an investment round of 40 billion dollars, the largest ever achieved in private technology. In addition, Openai promised to invest billions in the “Stargate Project”, a new company created together with SoftBank, Oracle and MGX to allocate 500 billion dollars to the AI infrastructure in the United States.
Key history
Chatgpt Agent is not the first openai incursion into assistants for task management. In January they launched “Operator”, a system capable of web tasks for users, such as online supermarket orders, purchase of tickets, refund calculations and more. Operator is not totally autonomous and has been described by OpenAI as one of the three pillars that helped create Chatgpt Agent, combining the ability to interact with websites, the information synthesis ability of Chatgpt Deep Research information and Chatgpt’s conversational skills. Task management applications released this year bring the company closer to the creation of a general artificial intelligence (AGI), which refers to machines capable of self -apprehending and performing tasks comparable to humans.
