Since the release of ChatGPT Agent, I’ve explored its capabilities as a tool for everyday tasks. Available to ChatGPT Plus users, I tested it with five real-life assignments. The results varied: some tasks impressed while others fell short.
- Locating Hard-to-Find Items: ChatGPT efficiently found and added a sought-after Labubu toy to my cart—quicker than Google.
- Trip Planning: It attempted a comprehensive 4-day family trip to San Diego, showcasing great potential but required my manual approval for bookings, which is reassuring for privacy.
- Meal Planning: The AI created a healthy meal plan and grocery list, even checking local prices—truly a game-changer.
- Food Ordering: While it ordered lunch smoothly, minor hiccups emerged, indicating it’s more of a helpful assistant than fully hands-free.
- DMV Appointments: Quickly booked my driver’s license renewal, demonstrating speed and effectiveness.
Overall, ChatGPT Agent shows promise as an AI tool for managing tasks, although it still requires user involvement.
