ChatGPT's new agent blends research and action
Why it matters: Agents are a buzzy concept in AI right now, but exactly what they can do in real-world settings without humans is just beginning to come into view.
Zoom in: ChatGPT Agent can follow prompts like "look at my calendar and brief me on upcoming client meetings based on recent news," "plan and buy ingredients to make Japanese breakfast for four," and "analyze three competitors and create a slide deck," per OpenAI's blog post.
The tool combines the web activity features of Operator, the agent OpenAI released last year, with ChatGPT's deep research capabilities and conversational interface.
Like Operator, ChatGPT Agent will ask permission "before taking actions of consequence," like entering passwords or payment information. Users can also take over the browser at any time.
Zoom out: Subscribers to the Pro, Plus and Team paid versions of ChatGPT can start using the new agent today, according to OpenAI.

OpenAI says ChatGPT users send over 2.5 billion prompts every day
OpenAI's ChatGPT sees more than 2.5 billion requests daily, with 330 million from users based in the US, according to data obtained by Axios. The data suggests that ChatGPT users send over 912.5 billion requests to the AI chatbot each year. Although ChatGPT still has a way to go to catch up to Google's 5 trillion annual searches, its rapid growth still poses a major threat to the search giant. In the span of just a few months, ChatGPT's weekly users spiked from 300 million last December to more than 500 million in March. The Verge reached out to OpenAI with a request for comment, but didn't immediately hear back. Earlier this month, a report from Reuters suggested that OpenAI is preparing to release an AI-powered web browser in the coming weeks, which will directly compete with Google Chrome. The company took a step toward this milestone with last week's launch of ChatGPT Agent, a tool that can complete tasks on your computer for you.

Fidji Simo Lays Out Vision As OpenAI CEO of Applications Ahead of August Start
Fidji Simo, the outgoing Instacart chief executive officer headed to OpenAI, outlined her vision for the newly created role of CEO of applications ahead of her official start at the ChatGPT maker next month. Simo will begin her new role on Aug. 18, an OpenAI spokesperson said. In a blog post published on the company's website on Monday, she set the tone for how she envisions the company's artificial intelligence technologies can be used by more people, rather than concentrated in the hands of the wealthy and connected. While she did not specify a product roadmap, she reflected on how AI can be useful in six broad areas, including knowledge, health, creative expression, economic freedom, time and support.
