Using Help

Installation and Usage

The ChatGPT Agent does not require a standalone installation and is accessed directly through the OpenAI website (chatgpt.com) or the ChatGPT mobile app (iOS and Android). Users are required to register for an OpenAI account and subscribe to a Pro, Plus or Team plan. Once logged in, click on the Tools drop-down menu in the Chat screen and select "Agent Mode" to launch. Enterprise and Education users will need to wait until July 2025 for OpenAI's official announcement.

Functional operation flow

1. Activate Agent mode

Log in to chatgpt.com or the mobile app, go to the chat interface and click "Agent Mode" in the toolbar. The interface will switch to the working environment of the intelligence, ready to receive voice or text commands. Users can enter tasks such as "Analyze three competitors and generate slides" or "Check my calendar and summarize the meeting".

2. Smart browsing websites

Agent offers both a visual browser and a text browser. The visual browser mimics human actions by clicking on web links, filling out forms, or filtering content. For example, if you type "Buy breakfast ingredients for four at Amazon", the Agent will navigate the shopping site, filter products and prompt the user to log in securely to complete the purchase. Text browsers are more efficient for quick queries, such as getting real-time stock prices or sports scores, and Agent automatically selects the right tool for the task.

3. Data analysis and documentation

Agent supports complex data processing. After the user inputs "Analyze Nvidia's Q1 earnings report and generate slides", the Agent fetches the data via API or web page, runs the code to generate the analysis results, and outputs PowerPoint slides or Excel tables. The generated file can be downloaded and edited, which is suitable for work presentation. Users can check the progress at any time, input "add chart" or "adjust format" to optimize the results. The slideshow feature is currently in Beta and the formatting may be a bit simpler, but the elements are editable and support flexible adjustments.

4. Secure interaction and user control

The Agent secures data by prompting the user to take over the browser and log in when accessing sites that require authentication (e.g. Gmail, GitHub). Users can interrupt a task at any time by typing "pause, check progress" to see the current results or provide more specific instructions to redirect. For example, "Get files from my Google Drive and organize them into tables" will trigger the Agent to call the API to complete the task. Once the task is complete, the user can save the results or continue optimizing.

5. Voice and text instructions

Agent supports voice input for mobile users. In the ChatGPT app, enable voice mode and say a task such as "plan a weekend date" and the Agent will search for restaurants or events and generate trip suggestions. Text input is suitable for complex tasks, and the more detailed the instructions, the more accurate the results. For example, "Analyze the market share of three companies and generate a bar chart" triggers data analysis and chart generation.

6. Dynamic tool switching

The Agent can dynamically switch tools in the middle of a task. For example, when planning a trip, it might first get flight information through an API, then use a visual browser to browse hotel websites, and finally generate an itinerary form. This flexibility ensures that tasks are completed efficiently and with less manual effort.

7. Connectors and external integration

Agent supports the OpenAI connector for secure access to user data, such as Google Drive files or calendar information. Users need to authorize the read-only connector in order for Agent to view data and perform tasks such as "organize inbox messages" or "find free meeting time". The connector ensures data security and transparency.

Precautions for use

• clear-cut instructions: Provide specific task descriptions, e.g., "Analyze market data from Apple, Google, and Samsung and generate slides" is more effective than "Analyze competitors".
• network stability: Agent requires a stable network connection to access a website or API.
• quota management: 400 commands per month for Pro users, 50 commands for Plus and Team users, with additional credits available above the limit.
• Privacy: Agent does not store user passwords and requires manual login for sensitive operations. Users can delete browsing data and log out of all website sessions in the settings.
• Beta Restrictions: Slide generation is in Beta and may not be formatted beautifully, it will be optimized in the future.
