I'm freaking out (again) over the latest feature in ChatGPT and it's important you know about it.
Last week, OpenAI rolled out a new capability inside ChatGPT called 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.
So what is an an AI Agents compared to an AI Assistant. Here's the difference.
𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁:
An AI chat is pre-trained to handle a specific task. You give it an input, and it follow their internal instructions. They are also called "Custom GPTs" within ChatGPT and "Gems" within Gemini
𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁:
An AI agent on the other hand, can go into your systems or on the internet and perform actions and go through multi-step problem solving.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲...
• Read all your data within Sharepoint or Google Drive
• Create a virtual windows machine and control a mouse
• Open a browser and log into things on the internet
• Find it's own research to complete a task
• Create finished documents or presentation
• Send emails on your behalf
One of the current constraints of AI is all the copy and pasting from one system to another.
Now AI can access your systems and get the information it needs and put the finished product somewhere more useful.
A lot of AI experts are predicting that the future of AI is going to be AI agents that can perform complex mulit-step work.
And it just got A LOT easier to start experimenting.
If you’re a ChatGPT Plus user, you get 40 agent queries a month. That’s enough to start testing
As always...I suggest starting with real-world use cases that actual help you with whatever is currently on your plate.
