OpenAI's help center says ChatGPT agent is no longer available and points users to ChatGPT Work and cloud browser in ChatGPT. Guide describes the current state.
what it is
ChatGPT agent was the mode in ChatGPT that could carry out multi-step tasks for you using its own virtual browser and connected apps, pausing to ask before important actions. OpenAI's help center now says ChatGPT agent is no longer available: longer tasks and finished deliverables move to ChatGPT Work, and supported browser workflows to the cloud browser in ChatGPT. Operator's features were folded into it earlier.
who it's for
