ChatGPT Agent Demonstration & Capabilities
The ChatGPT Agent can be enabled from the toolbar and connected to approved data sources, with web-only access used in this demo.
A “starter prompt” library allows fast initiation of common agent workflows.
For the demo, the Agent was instructed to:
Research e-commerce and health trends.
Aggregate findings and articles into a spreadsheet.
Sign up for a newsletter.
Analyze e-commerce growth and generate visuals and business plan calculators.
Compile all deliverables into a detailed research report.
The agent’s workflow included:
Performing keyword searches and analyzing online articles.
Switching to “activity view” for transparency of its operation.
Safeguards allowing manual interruption and browser takeover for sensitive tasks (e.g., entering personal details).
Auto-generating research spreadsheets with citations, charts of growth rates, business plan calculators, and a research report summarizing findings.
The agent is trained to dynamically decide between using search, image generation, deep research, or browser automation tools.
Users can monitor, interrupt, or redirect the agent at any point.
