New 'agent mode' in ChatGPT: what it is, how to use it, and what it is for

ChatGPT has introduced a new tool that redefines its operation and capabilities.

With the agent mode, it can now automate tasks, make complex decisions, and search for information in real time.

What is ChatGPT's new agent mode?

The agent mode transforms ChatGPT into an autonomous assistant. It no longer just answers questions: it also acts on its own.

It accesses the internet, uses external tools, generates detailed reports, and performs repetitive tasks quickly and accurately.

What is agent mode for?

This feature aims to solve specific tasks that go beyond traditional chat. Some of its key functions include:

• Search for updated data: it accesses the web in real time.
• Automate tasks: such as sending emails or generating daily reports.
• Make decisions: it creates reports with detailed analysis and charts.
• Manage projects: it plans and organizes tasks directly from the chat.

How is agent mode activated?

It is already available for Pro, Plus, and Team plans in most countries.

To activate it, there are two options:

1. Go to Settings > Advanced features and enable "Agent Mode".
2. Type /agent directly in the text box.
