AI Agents are here and you need to know about it
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 ๐๐ ๐๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐๐.
So what is an an AI Agents compared to an AI Assistant. Here's the difference.
๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐:
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
๐๐ ๐๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐:
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.

โข Read all your data within Sharepoint or Google Drive
โข Create a virtual windows machine and control a mouse
โข Open a browser and log into things on the internet
โข Find it's own research to complete a task
โข Create finished documents or presentation
โข 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 youโre a ChatGPT Plus user, you get 40 agent queries a month. Thatโs 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.
Here is a helpful little guide to learn more (with some short videos)
If you give it try...be sure to report back and comment below so we can all learn.
