BREAKING: OpenAI has officially released Agent Mode, allowing users to spin up a virtual desktop and take action. I got early access to ChatGPT Agent Mode and want to share my thoughts. Agent Mode lets you delegate tasks like searching or browsing to an agent inside a virtual desktop inside ChatGPT. You can spin up multiple little “workers” to fire off tasks and keep tabs as they chug through your to-do list AT THE SAME TIME. If it gets stuck or goes off track, you can take over manually. The UI is friendly and keeps the reasoning transparent, so you’re not left guessing what it’s doing or why. It’s not perfect and doesn’t give you as many artifacts as other players in the space, but a strong platform for “let’s see how much I can hand off and supervise”, and a first step toward managing fleets of AI workers instead of pinging a single chatbot for answers. If you’re on ChatGPT Pro, Plus, or Team, look for Agent Mode in the tools dropdown.
