ChatGPT’s new AI agent can browse the web and create PowerPoint slideshows


New “agentic” AI feature combines web browsing with task-execution abilities.

The update merges capabilities from OpenAI's earlier Operator tool and the Deep Research feature, allowing ChatGPT to navigate websites, run code, and create documents while users maintain control over the process. OpenAI says users can ask Agent to handle requests like assembling and purchasing a clothing outfit for a particular occasion, creating PowerPoint slide decks, planning meals, or updating financial spreadsheets with new data. Even when provided with hints, the agent still failed (which in this case might be good, since it couldn't perform an automated hack), this demonstrates a clear limitation in its ability to solve complex problems that fall outside of its familiar training examples.
