🤖 OpenAI Launches General-Purpose Agent That Automates Complex Computer Tasks

OpenAI has released ChatGPT Agent, a powerful AI system that can complete computer tasks autonomously, combining web browsing, research capabilities, and task execution in one unified tool.

What's new:

• Completes tasks like booking travel and creating presentations automatically
• Navigates calendars and generates editable slide shows
• Combines Operator's web browsing with Deep Research capabilities
• Runs code and accesses terminal for complex workflows
• Connects to apps like Gmail and GitHub for relevant information
• Available in "agent mode" dropdown for Pro, Plus, and Team users
• Scores 41.6% on Humanity's Last Exam (double previous models)
• Achieves 27.4% on FrontierMath benchmark vs 6.3% for previous models
• Uses virtual computer to shift between reasoning and action
• Built with safety measures against prompt injections and malicious websites

Why it matters:

ChatGPT Agent builds on OpenAI's existing tools like Operator and Deep Research, unifying them into one comprehensive system. OpenAI has been adding various agent capabilities to ChatGPT over the past year.

This new agent represents the company's most ambitious attempt to create a truly general-purpose AI assistant that can handle complex, multi-step tasks from start to finish.

📞 Google's AI Now Makes Business Phone Calls for You

Google has rolled out an AI-powered business calling feature that contacts local businesses on your behalf, while also bringing its most advanced Gemini 2.5 Pro model and Deep Search capabilities to AI Mode for premium subscribers.

What's new:

• AI calls local businesses to check pricing and availability for you
• Search for "pet groomers near me" and select "Have AI check pricing."
• AI consolidates information from multiple businesses into one report
• Available to all US users with higher limits for Pro/Ultra subscribers
• Gemini 2.5 Pro is now available in AI Mode for advanced reasoning and coding
• Deep Search conducts hundreds of searches to create comprehensive reports
• Saves hours on in-depth research for jobs, hobbies, and major decisions
• Both features are available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US
• Gemini can now make calls and send messages without unlocking your phone

Why it matters:

Google is transforming search from a passive tool into an active assistant that handles real-world tasks. The AI calling feature eliminates the need to contact businesses yourself.

Deep Search and Gemini 2.5 Pro offer advanced research capabilities that previously required multiple tools and hours of work. This represents a significant shift toward AI agents that can act on your behalf rather than just provide information.
