The new AI agent can generate Google Sheets and slide decks, making it a powerful new office tool. OpenAI released the new ChatGPT agent on Thursday, a general-purpose AI tool that can complete complex tasks on a user's behalf, like searching the web, running code, and creating slideshows and spreadsheets. The AI agent can click, type, and submit forms on its own based on a natural language prompt, and users can interrupt it at any time. OpenAI is embedding the agent within ChatGPT and allowing paying users to access it immediately by selecting "agent mode" in ChatGPT's dropdown tool menu. For example, McKinsey consultants are using an internal AI tool to create PowerPoint presentations, taking over junior employee tasks.
