💨 Abstract

In July 2025, OpenAI introduced a new feature allowing ChatGPT to perform actions on behalf of users. This move, part of a broader industry trend, aims to make digital assistants more capable, reducing the need for manual searches and app hopping. The new "agent mode" enables ChatGPT to manage complex tasks, such as planning events or purchasing items, using its own virtual computer. Examples include scheduling meetings based on recent news or buying ingredients for a Japanese breakfast.
