ChatGPT Agents Are Here And OpenAI Says They Will Do All Your Work
ChatGPT agent is here from OpenAI which promises to take over your computer, handle your tasks and take your consent for doing all this. AI agents are coming in all shapes and forms and OpenAI is bringing its ChatGPT agent to the market this week. The AI chatbot is evolving fast and as the market demands the company is entering the AI agent arena with ChatGPT at the helm. 'ChatGPT can now do work for you using its own computer, handling complex tasks from start to finish," which pretty much sums up what an AI agent offers and ChatGPT is taking this avatar for its users. But unlike other host of AI agents in the market, OpenAI is utilising its higher ability and dataset to deliver a seamless and effective experience. So what does OpenAI offer with the ChatGPT agent and how is it better than others in the market? The company says it is using the blend of Operator, deep research and ChatGPT itself to cohesively offer a unified agentic experience. You just have to give instructions to the ChatGPT agent and let the virtual computer handle complex tasks and give them with reasoning, something that other agents might not offer as of today. The company assures that the AI agent will not stray away from your instructions, and it will seek your permission to take actions. If you feel the AI agent is not delivering what you want, you can pause the action and manually take over the browser tasks and stop the AI agent from operating. Open ChatGPT on web Go to the tools dropdown menu Select 'agent mode' from your ChatGPT Plus, Pro or Team version Browser based AI agents are getting widely available and it was high time that we saw OpenAI enter this arena, especially since the GPT 5 launch is taking longer than expected. We've also seen Gemini AI Pro and Perplexity Pro premium versions available free of charge for 1 year in India if you have a student ID or use an Airtel number/WiFi service in the country. ChatGPT might be eyeing a similar model that will fuel its need to increase user base and free always does the trick. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 11:13 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

No Free Lunches: Why You Should Tread With Caution About Google And Perplexity AI Offers
Last Updated: Perplexity Pro and Gemini AI Pro models are available free of charge in India for select users but is there a catch in using these AI versions? People in India love freebies, in fact, anybody would do. This week we have seen Google and Perplexity bring their AI platforms for free to different users in the country. AI is the talk of the town, so it was obviously going to gather traction, especially since you are getting features worth up to Rs 19,000 per month for free. And it seems their pitch has worked to a good effect with many students signing up for the free Gemini AI Pro version with the college ID, while Airtel partners with Perplexity to bring its Pro subscription for its users. But when it comes to AI, free lunches always have a big price attached to them, and in this case, you have got data that is valuable to these companies. AI For Free But Is There A Catch? Over the years, we have seen platforms entice people into sharing their facial data, or personal information. For instance, ChatGPT started the Studio Ghibli anime style that became viral and got people to share their photos to try out the feature on the AI chatbot. OpenAI was happy to collect the data, and experts had even warned about giving them permission to train their AI systems using their information. The new Airtel and Google plans feel like Deja vu and in this situation the data can be more complex and diverse for these companies to feast on. Students will be using AI tools to sharpen their skills and upskill to become eligible for jobs in the evolving industry. While Airtel users try out Perplexity Pro using their email ID, and give the AI chatbot access to their files, camera and other tools to effectively give you results. These are obviously big privacy red flags and the 'Free' stamp shouldn't hide these concerns away for people. Google is a tech giant and has plenty of avenues to make money but Perplexity needs the AI division to tick and adding over 360 million users to its kitty, even for 12 months is a big jump for the company. If they manage even 1 percent of these Airtel users to eventually start paying for its Pro version, the business model turns out to be a win for the company. It even has a web browser with AI-powered features that work like AI agents and handle your tasks. If you've already signed up for the Gemini AI Pro or Perplexity Pro free plans in India, just be careful of how you use these platforms. Learn the trades and gradually see which one of these is worth the big money, and if not, look for other alternatives over the next 12 months. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
