In a bid to popularize agents beyond enthusiasts and IT departments, these agents are for everyone, and are sharebale between teams.
They are also very easy to create; simply add a description of the job you want done, and ChatGPT walks you through the process of turning it into an agent.
That means defining steps, connecting to tools, adding skills and testing it to satisfaction. They also offer templates that just need minor tweaks to run on your setup.
The agents are built with Codex, meaning they can write and run code, access files, connect to apps, and work through multiple steps. They also sit in the cloud and never log off.
You can control the agents through ChatGPT and Slack, and you can instruct them to ask permission every time they change or access something «sensitive» — be it a spreadsheet or sending an email.
Agents will be free until May 6 and will then work on «credit-based pricing,» although OpenAI doesn’t elaborate further.
