ChatGPT can use a website now — not just talk about one

The exact clicks

1. Open ChatGPT and switch from "Chat" to "Work" — the mode picker sits right next to where you type your message.
2. Give it one concrete task with a clear finish line — "compare these 3 plans and tell me the cheapest" — not an open-ended one.
3. Let it run: it's not instant — a real task can take a while, sometimes hours, not seconds.
4. Watch the first run all the way through before handing it a second task unsupervised.
5. Don't give it anything that needs you to already be logged into an account somewhere — that's not what it's built to do.

What changes

• The real limit, verified before publishing: it won't log into an account for you — it works with public pages, not ones behind your own sign-in.
• It's genuinely slow by design — built to stay with a task for a long stretch, not to answer in seconds.
• It's not a separate unlimited add-on: usage comes out of your existing plan (Plus or Pro), not a special extra quota.

What it will not do

• This is for tasks with a clear, checkable finish line (compare, look up, summarize across a few pages) — not open-ended research or anything where a wrong answer is costly and hard to catch.
• It won't act inside an account you're already signed into — a task needing that isn't a fit for it.
• Names and limits in this space change fast — OpenAI retired the previous "agent mode" without much notice days before this episode was recorded; check ChatGPT's own current mode picker if this episode is more than a few months old.
