In this video you're going to explore ChatGPT agent mode.
This came out and basically it allows you to combine computer use so ChatGPT can spin up a computer
and then it can do operations on that.
It also has access to a browser, so you can technically go and tell it to autonomously do some web
search or some manual data entry.
And if you give it some of the right logins, it can do work on your behalf.
Let's have a look at how you can access this inside of ChatGPT.
So go to ChatGPT.
And what you'll need to do is click on the plus symbol and then turn on Agent Mode.
Now you can see when you turn on Agent mode you have a certain number of credits.
In my case, I've got 34 that remain and that will be reset on August the 23rd.
So you get a certain amount of credits each month.
And then once you've turned on Agent Mode, it actually has a bunch of recommendations that you can
see here.
For example, we could create a presentation.
So we could do develop a go to market strategy for robotic pet launch.
So I'm going to click that.
I'm going to click and hit enter on this.
And then what's going to happen behind the scenes is that ChatGPT is going to set up its own desktop.
And that desktop is essentially a Linux machine that lives on the cloud.
And then because of that, it can access to things like Python using a browser.
Also, as you can see here, give you a live preview of what ChatGPT is doing in the flow.
So you can see it's doing some searching.
It's then going to do a reading mode.
And if you look on the bottom of this, we can actually scroll back and you can see specifically what
different bits the agent decided to take.
And that's called a trajectory.
So what trajectory did the agent take.
Now interestingly go to the triple dots.
Click on that and you'll see there's three things here at the moment.
You can see the activity gives you a breakdown of what this specific version is worked on.
That's quite useful to see how often it's searching, how often it's reviewing.
If we go and do stop, then obviously that will stop the autonomous agent.
And the other thing that we can do is we can take over the browser.
Now I'm going to show you one that I did earlier.
So let me go and show you that.
So I've got a broad band of affordability analysis and you can see that basically it went and worked
for 17 minutes and actually built a bunch of slides.
And you can see it going and working on the terminal here and doing lots of code and generating kind
of different types of visualizations.
And it worked.
And then it actually created a presentation and I could download this as a PDF.
So again, this is the kind of thing that you get when you can use ChatGPT to generate presentations.
And you can see this is what it generated on different types of broadband and the monthly cost and all
that kind of stuff.
That's what a report looks like when they're finished.
Now, obviously if we go to the go to market strategy, you can see that ChatGPT is working and it's
going to take a while.
So now it's actually in the machine that's running lots of different types of commands.
So that's quite useful for seeing what's happening on the activity view.
And obviously if you want you can look at the desktop view as well.
Great.
So we've gone through I've shown you a report at the end.
And obviously we could wait until this report's done, but it's going to roughly produce some kind of
PowerPoint.
The key insight I want you to take away from this is that you could use this for anything, and we could
go a step further, and we could not only use web search and Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint,
but we can also give ChatGPT agent access to our own websites.
So if I go and create a new chat, and then we'll go back and we'll go into agent mode, and then what
I'm going to do is I'm going to click, I'm actually going to just not use the suggestion.
So I'm going to say I want to spin up a virtual VM and I will log into a website.
And what I'm going to show you is this other feature of agent mode that we haven't seen yet.
Right.
To go into the triple dots, click Take Over browser and then you can control the browser.
So I can go in here I can sign into X.com.
And if you've already signed in on your ChatGPT account then it should have access to that.
So you can see here I actually have access to this.
And we can go and like this post.
So I've signed in with my account.
Obviously you can sign into anything you want here.
You could go to Facebook what have you.
That's the power of this is you just sign in and then it's going to remember.
You click on the bottom right finish controlling.
Then we can say I want you to create three posts on X.com saying hello world from ChatGPT agent mode.
Okay, so here's the powerful thing.
Now it's able to use logins that you've previously provided.
And you can basically have that so it can do some work.
So it's decided that that page is facebook.com.
But you can now see that it's gone to X.com and we can actually see it's going to go up here and it's
going to compose.
You will see that it asks you shall I click to publish it?
And we'll say continue.
So sometimes it will ask for approval, which is absolutely fine.
We could probably be more specific with the prompt, like if you have to do anything then don't worry
about it.
And essentially yeah, like you can see here, shall I click to publish it.
And there you go.
So now it's working in the second process here.
And again yeah you can rate these responses.
We can click to continue.
I'll say continue and post without permission.
Let's see if it does that or whether it actually needs permission.
So I'm going to just tell it continue and post without permission.
So let's see.
Let's have a look.
Yeah.
So you can see without further confirmation prevents.
Yeah.
So would you like to modify it.
So yeah.
Yeah.
Modify it and make it unique for three messages, but we'll do five messages then.
And don't ask, just do.
So we're just going to use some prompting techniques to specifically lock it in and just tell it.
It's absolutely fine.
Go and do the work.
And that'd be the type of thing that you'll put at the initial prompt.
When you're doing whatever task you need to do is just telling it, don't ask for permission.
Just do the work.
Now, obviously, you've got to be very careful with that because you're giving a lot more agency and
you're giving a lot of delegation to agents, but just be aware that you can often open.
I will respect your prompts.
If you're saying just do the work.
So I'm going to go and open a fresh tab on and have a look on Xe.com and let's see what we've got.
So we've got one, we've got two.
How are we doing.
So it says that it's thinking.
It says it's thinking.
So here you go.
So it's decided it's going to modify these.
It's clicking send.
So you can see here.
So now that I'm going to do that and then we're what are we doing here?
So you've got a bunch of these.
Hello, world.
Let's see.
I'm sending the message hello, world from post two.
Here you go.
So post three of five and then it's clicking paste.
And there we go.
So we've got our third message from ChatGPT agent.
The agent mode the agent model is now working.
So here you go.
So we learned about the fact that you could use Agent Mode to build PowerPoints or presentations.
It has complete access to a virtual machine.
You've learned about how to add in additional types of websites by using that takeover browser, and
you've also learned about how to do some clever prompt engineering techniques so that we don't have
to keep clicking that continue button.
All right.
The final thing I just want to say on this is you can also schedule these and you can say how often
you want them to come.
And you can give a range of instructions and you can tell it when to repeat as well.
So scheduling is also possible and I will see you in the next one.
