Overview

  • The ChatGPT Agent is now available to Pro, Plus and Team subscribers outside the European Union, with Education and Enterprise customers and EU users slated to gain access after further security and regulatory reviews.
  • It combines the Operator browser, Deep Research synthesis and ChatGPT conversational models in a single system that can switch seamlessly between analysis and action.
  • Connectors to services like Google Drive, GitHub and SharePoint enable the agent to autonomously perform tasks such as finding calendar openings and booking restaurant tables.
  • OpenAI enforces explicit user consent for irreversible actions, fully blocks critical operations like bank transfers and reports a 99.5% prompt injection resistance rate.
  • While connectors may access ChatGPT’s memory, the agent itself cannot yet use stored personal data pending additional security assessments.
