OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent integrates browsing and summarization functionalities, allowing developers to create editable spreadsheets and presentations efficiently. It generates .xlsx and .pptx files using Python code, with outputs compatible with major office software. The agent can utilize various tools such as GUI browsers and text browsers, enabling login to SaaS platforms, data scraping, and code execution for data shaping. In assessments, it reportedly achieves higher accuracy than its peers, presenting promising results in significant benchmarks.
OpenAI recently announced ChatGPT Agent, which combines the browsing skills of Operator with the summarisation muscle of Deep Research into a single 'ChatGPT agent.' Instead of pasting chunks of code or formulas into ChatGPT and then copying answers into productivity apps, developers can now prompt one tool to gather data, reason about it and return an editable spreadsheet or deck in one shot.
The agent writes valid .xlsx and .pptx files by emitting Python code behind the scenes, so the output opens in Excel, LibreOffice, PowerPoint, Keynote, or any library that understands the open formats.
On SpreadsheetBench ChatGPT agent reaches 45.5% accuracy versus Copilot-in-Excel's 20%. OpenAI also claims new state-of-the-art results on DSBench and BrowseComp, plus a 41.6% pass-at-1 on Humanity's Last Exam.
From a developer's perspective the agent is just another ChatGPT tool choice, so anything you build on the Assistants API inherits it automatically.
