OpenAI develops task automation software

Microsoft-backed OpenAI is developing agent software designed to automate complex tasks by assuming control of users’ devices.

The agent software will handle web-based tasks such as gathering public data about a set of companies, creating schedules, or booking flight tickets.

The new assistants, often called “agents,” promise to perform more complex personal and work tasks when commanded to by a human without needing close supervision.

The company released its ChatGPT chatbot in late 2022 and made generative AI popular with its ability to pen sonnets and write emails.
