OpenAI Finally Launches ChatGPT Agent
|
Hey Reader, This week saw the launch of OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, which takes the best capabilities of OpenAI's other tools like Deep Research and Operator and combines them into an all-in-one Agent that lives inside of ChatGPT. We'll tell you how you can use the new ChatGPT Agent, plus we'll cover the controversial Grok Companions launch, show you what the future of Hollywood looks like with Runway's Act-Two, and much more. It was a huge week in AI and there's a ton to discuss, so let's get right into it... 🪄 App of the Week: ChatGPT Agent Use Case: OpenAI's All-in-One AI Agent Link: ChatGPT Agent (Paid, Not Sponsored!) Why you should care: ChatGPT Agent can autonomously handle multi-step tasks by accessing the web, interacting with APIs, running its own virtual terminal, and even generating images through OpenAI’s Image API. In demos, ChatGPT Agent pulled its own benchmark data directly from Google Drive and automatically created a polished slideshow without ever leaving the chat interface! And speaking of benchmarks, ChatGPT Agent put up impressive marks:
Access is rolling out now with Pro users getting 400 queries per month, while Plus and Teams users get 40 queries per month. Here’s how to get started with ChatGPT Agent:
We'll be testing ChatGPT Agent in depth and sharing more over the coming weeks, so stay tuned! 📰 News That Matters: Grok's Controversial AI Companion Launch
Link: Musk's Grok 'companions' include a flirty anime character and an anti-religion panda | NBC News Why it matters: This week, xAI launched Grok Companions, which are interactive AI characters with fully animated 3D avatars powered by xAI's Grok model. The first two companions include the flirtatious anime character Ani and a mischievous red panda named Bad Rudi, who engage users in real-time, voice-enabled conversations. Users can unlock extra perks including NSFW content by advancing their "relationship levels." As of now, Grok Companions are available only to SuperGrok subscribers. Grok’s spicy Companions launch isn't a massive surprise to anyone paying attention to AI usage over the past few years. xAI is mirroring the wildly successful formula of Character.AI with customizable, personality-driven AI chatbots that lean heavily into the "relationship" aspect of AI interaction. Until now, industry giants like OpenAI, Meta, and Google have hesitated to follow Character.AI’s path. xAI is the first major player to make the jump, but it certainly won't be the last. The other top dogs of tech will be carefully studying the Grok Companions debut to see what works and what doesn't. Once they've figured out their game plans, they'll be launching their own versions of the AI companion. Many were calling 2025 the Year of the AI Agent, but depending on how things unfold, it may end up going down in history as The Year of the AI Companions. 📝 Prompt of the Week: Troubleshoot Tech Problems Like a Pro Prompt Formula: Quick Description: Thanks to o3's integrated web search, this prompt yields specific, up-to-date advice that wasn't possible with earlier models. (Technically it was possible, but it required you to use the dreaded Bing search.) How to Use:

Follow ChatGPT’s recommendations, test suggestions, and observations to pinpoint and fix the issue. 📽️ Video of the Week: Runway Act-Two (New Motion Capture AI) Runway just introduced the world to Act-Two, a new AI model designed for motion capture.
