Testing ChatGPT's Agent feature

This morning, I noticed that the Agent feature had been enabled on my ChatGPT account. So that felt like a good opportunity to have a play around.

I wanted to record something for posterity, especially as it was only back in October 2024 (if memory serves) that this kind of string-together-screenshots 'computer use' idea really became workable.

Perhaps 9 months later and the technology is incredibly different and exceptionally capable. Already.

Here's the exam question I set to test out the Agent capability:

Login to my LinkedIn, accept some recent connection requests and say, "Thank you for the add, [Firstname]" to each connection.

Simple, I know, but I wanted to keep things distinct and easy.

It handled things really, really well – so much so, that I felt myself being 'upgraded' (or wanting to upgrade) to the $200 ChatGPT subscription as I watched it work.

See what you make of it!
