ChatGPT can now shop for you, schedule meetings, and analyze presentations with new agent feature

After launching Deep Research and Operator agents earlier this year, OpenAI has introduced a new AI agent called the ‘ChatGPT agent’, which integrates more deeply with the company’s chatbot of the same name. The ChatGPT agent is a general-purpose agentic system that can take actions on a user’s behalf.

With the new ChatGPT agent, the chatbot can handle tasks such as accessing the user’s calendar, shopping on their behalf, creating spreadsheets, and browsing the web to gather information.
