ChatGPT agent looks impressive. I’m noticing a pattern when these kind of new tools come out, where initially I’m not sure what to do with them. This example from Federico Viticci is great, though:
I asked ChatGPT agent to process hundreds of issues of MacStories Weekly on the Club MacStories website, open each one, find stuff that I wrote, and compile all my Club articles into a list. Then, I asked it to spot patterns and ideas for follow-up stories based on things I wrote months ago, and which I’ve likely forgotten about.
I think this is going to be like ChatGPT’s deep research. At the time of its release, I blogged that I didn’t have much use for it. Now I use it more often than I expected, about once a week.
I also don’t want to completely forget about what I wrote about agents being dangerous back in January. Agents shouldn’t run amuck without human control. What Federico is doing seems well sandboxed.
