According to the latest report from AIbase, OpenAI has announced that its new ChatGPT Agent feature is now fully available to all Plus, Pro, and Team users as of July 24, 2025. This feature integrates OpenAI's previously developed Operator and Deep Research tools, endowing ChatGPT with stronger autonomous task handling capabilities, marking a significant advancement in artificial intelligence technology within the field of task automation.

The ChatGPT Agent can autonomously use various tools through its built-in virtual browser and terminal, including browsing websites, executing code, and calling APIs. Users only need to activate "Agent Mode" via natural language prompts, and ChatGPT will dynamically select tools based on task requirements, completing the entire process from in-depth research to complex task execution. For example, it can automatically plan trips, generate financial reports, create presentations, and even handle website operations requiring login permissions. The release of this feature transforms ChatGPT from a simple conversational model into an intelligent assistant capable of independently performing multi-step tasks.

According to OpenAI's official introduction, the ChatGPT Agent has performed well in multiple benchmark tests. In the "Humanity’s Last Exam" test, its score reached 41.6%, and it improved to 44.4% after parallel strategy optimization. In the FrontierMath math benchmark test, the agent function achieved an accuracy rate of 27.4% when combined with tools, far exceeding previous models. This indicates that the ChatGPT Agent not only handles complex tasks more efficiently but also produces more accurate results.

Currently, this feature is fully available to Plus, Pro, and Team users, who can activate it through the tool dropdown menu in ChatGPT. OpenAI emphasized that the ChatGPT Agent was developed with security in mind, adding real-time monitoring and classifiers to reduce the risk of misuse, particularly in areas such as biological and chemical weapons. Despite this, the agent function still requires user control when handling real-time payments or direct access to bank accounts to ensure safety.

AIbase points out that the launch of the ChatGPT Agent represents not only a technological breakthrough but also signifies OpenAI's further exploration in commercialization. Reports indicate that OpenAI is testing an embedded payment system and may process transactions directly through ChatGPT in the future to increase revenue sources. This feature is expected to collaborate with e-commerce platforms (such as Shopify) to further expand ChatGPT's commercial application scenarios.

For both enterprise and individual users, the full release of the ChatGPT Agent undoubtedly provides new possibilities for work efficiency and task automation. OpenAI stated that it will continue to iterate and update, adding more features and optimizing the user experience. Plus, Pro, and Team users can now experience this cutting-edge technology first, while access for enterprise and educational users is expected to gradually open later this year.
