ChatGPT Expands 'Computer Use' to Automate Tasks Across More Apps

OpenAI's underlying technology, previously focused on coding, now allows ChatGPT to complete tasks in various applications, not just web browsers. This builds on earlier integrations like a Chrome extension and in-app browsers, moving towards a vision where AI agents can interact with a computer as skillfully as a human. OpenAI President Greg Brockman stated this update makes the technology accessible for anyone doing computer work.

Why it matters

This significantly broadens ChatGPT's capabilities beyond conversational AI, enabling it to take on more practical, multi-step tasks across different software, which can help automate workflows for analysts, managers, and small business owners.
