Until very recently, asking artificial intelligence for something was almost like talking to a friend, with an exaggerated IQ, yes, but I had to do the job how could it be to click on the websites that I recommended or if you asked him about a specific purchase, do it manually.
That is over and the chatgpt agent not only responds, now navigates the websites, makes purchases, makes reservations and even executes tasks that before needed your direct interaction.
This works as if you open a virtual computer within your own computer. There, access a browser, to terminal data programs, to execute tasks such as comparing flight prices or reviewing and coordinating your work calendar. Everything, of course, with your permits, since the agent always asks for green light before sending an email, booking a hotel or doing something committed to your data.
According to Openai, the idea is that you forget details and take advantage of your time in what really matters. They do not need constant supervision, they learn from each interaction and adapt very quickly to new situations. Constantly improves your performance, without the need to be giving, like an employee, a long time or even a training course.
Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, said not too many days ago: «We believe that, in 2025, we can see the first agents of adding to the workforce and materially change the performance of the companies.» Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, on the other hand, adds: «We are beginning to see that the adoption of the agriculture by companies is popularized.» And certainly it is being.
At the moment, access is limited to Pro, Plus and Team Chatgpt users, but the global deployment has already been launched. Companies, developers and also anyone could very much see how this wonder that Sam Altman already describes as «A AGI moment» works.
The great leap of AI agents: is it really ‘A Agi’ moment?
Sam Altman, after trying the agent, has not hesitated to qualify the experience as «an authentic AGI moment», referring to the expected general artificial intelligence, the one that matches or overcomes human skills in everything.
Although Altman clarifies that we are not yet before GPT-5, he recognizes that the jump he has experienced and lived with this agent has been the greatest of his careerbringing AI closer to that future where he works, decides and solves so well, or almost, as a person.
The truth is that the OpenAi CEO has been obsessed with the AGI for some time and makes it lighter. Repeat in interviews constantly that Openai is «confident that he knows how to create AGI» and that that could change the economy and the world in just a few years.
There is no doubt that this type of automation and decision making by the AI agent is a great step forward, but, of course, quite far from what can be considered as AGI. That is why this obsession to mention every two by three may be due to two reasons.
On the one hand, it can serve as pressure or reminder for partners such as Microsoft. It is no secret that there is a clause in the contract between Openai and Microsoft that mentions that if the company declares that the AGI has reached, it can break the preferential agreement to access its models.
The clause, known as escape clauseit cannot be activated in any way. It is necessary that the Board of Directors of OpenAI – and only them – proclaim that they have achieved ‘AGI sufficient’.
That is, not only should it be more powerful than any AI that currently exists, but capable of moving at least 100,000 million dollars in business potential. At that time, Microsoft’s preferential right is completely, even if the original contract expires just in 2030.
On the other hand, there would be the brand value itself: the AGI has become the new magic word in the AI race. Talk about «feeling the AGI» places OpenAi – a Altman – at the top of world innovationattracting all the eyes of those who dream or even fear with living with a really ‘human’ intelligence.
Marketing, commercial pressure or simply an Altman who gets excited too fast, the truth is that he has managed to convert the AGI into the Holy Grail of today, and explodes, conscious or not, every time OpenAi takes a step forward.
