OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent Launched, Can Perform Complex Tasks on a Virtual Computer

OpenAI released a new artificial intelligence (AI) agent, which will be baked into the company’s chatbot, on Thursday. Dubbed ChatGPT Agent, it is a general-purpose agent which gets its own virtual computer to browse the web and find information, as well as an integrated development environment (IDE) for coding. The San Francisco-based AI firm said that ChatGPT Agent is essentially the unification of the Operator agent and the Deep Research function.
