OpenAI has just unveiled Agent Mode, a built‑in AI co‑worker inside ChatGPT that spins up its own virtual computer to plan and complete multi‑step tasks.
In this first‑look walkthrough I turn Agent Mode on, give it a real‑world shopping challenge, and watch how it thinks, browses and tackles challenges that it faces. We’ll also explore third‑party connectors, pricing, and the key strengths and current limitations you should know before diving in.

Disclosure: OpenAI kindly provided me with a complimentary ChatGPT Pro subscription a few months ago. I was a Plus member beforehand (and had been for over a year). OpenAI has not asked me to make this video, I have not been paid to make this video, and they do not have any editorial input over the content of this video. I hope this disclosure is seen as a positive reflection of my credibility and commitment to transparency.
