Introducing ChatGPT agent
Why it matters
OpenAI is moving beyond conversation into autonomous task execution. This is the shift from copilot to agent—a fundamental change in how users interact with AI for research, scheduling, and content creation.
Key signals
- ChatGPT agent capability ships with tool use (research, bookings, slideshows)
- Agent operates under user guidance (not fully autonomous)
- Published July 17, 2025—production release
- Core capability: think-and-act loop with external tool integration
The hook
Not a beta. OpenAI just shipped agents that think, act, and use tools—all natively in ChatGPT.
Introducing ChatGPT agent: it thinks and acts, using tools to complete tasks like research, bookings, and slideshows—all with your guidance.
