OpenAI’s New Agents - The End of an AI Agent Developer?
AI Summary
Summary of OpenAI’s New Agents: Operator and Deep Research
Overview of AI Agents
- AI agents are LLMs (large language models) that interact with their environment autonomously and can now reason about tasks.
Operator Agent
- Mimics human actions in a browser (scroll, type, click, navigate).
- Based on a new model called CUA (Computer Using Agent).
- Trained to output mouse and keyboard actions.
- Can reason about each action and automate complex processes.
- Limitations: Lower accuracy and high cost (currently available on the $200 plan).
Deep Research Agent
- Trained for comprehensive research.
- Searches the web, compiles sources into insightful reports.
- Powered by the new 03 model.
- Goes beyond outputting average internet findings, provides novel insights.
Best Use Cases
- Operator Agent: Internal process automation, especially for enterprises using internal software tools.
- Deep Research Agent: Research-related tasks like market, lead, legal, scientific research, and internal document analysis.
Q&A Summary
- Need for AI Agent Developers: More than ever, to train agents on specific processes.
- AI Agent Frameworks: Some may become obsolete if they don’t adapt to new AI capabilities.
- Multi-Agent Systems: Will be transformative, allowing agents to spawn other agents for complex tasks.
- Impact on AI Agent Market: Platforms that don’t adapt to AI improvements will become redundant.
- API Exposure: Operator agent might have a separate API or be integrated into existing ones; Deep Research likely through the assistance API.
- Preparing for API Release: Start building now, don’t build around current limitations, focus on ROI.
- Future Evolution: Operator agent could control computers through the ChatGPT app, more agents are expected.
Practical Examples (Hypothetical)
- Operator Agent: Automating the setup of a customer portal in Notion.
- Deep Research Agent: Conducting comprehensive research on the Bitcoin market and making investment decisions.
