TL;DR: OpenAI's new ChatGPT feature lets it directly control browsers and desktop apps to automate tasks like analyzing forum posts, filling forms, and data entry. ## New ChatGPT: Directly Control Your Computer to Get Things Done OpenAI has introduced a new capability: the latest ChatGPT app can directly control the websites and apps you use daily, helping you complete a range of real-world tasks. ### Work Directly in the Browser ChatGPT incorporates a built-in browser that can scan forums, websites, and generate reports. For example, you can ask it to analyze recent posts in a community forum, identify common issues that have frustrated users over the past month, and it will automatically produce a "frustration points report." The browser also comes with annotation tools, allowing you to give more precise feedback or ask questions directly on the page without writing lengthy instructions. ### Leverage Your Existing Browser Context (Chrome Extension) If you want to borrow context from your current browser, you can connect ChatGPT via a Chrome extension. It will read your open tabs or silently create new tabs in the background without interrupting you. This is especially useful for repetitive tasks like filling out expense reports or long data entry sessions. ### Control Desktop Applications If the tool you need isn't a web app but a desktop application, you can use the "computer control" feature to operate any program on Windows or macOS. On macOS, ChatGPT has its own cursor and can run in the background, letting you work on other things simultaneously. ### Summary With the new ChatGPT, simply connect it directly to the apps and tools you use every day to get more done. Give it a try. Source: YouTube video – ChatGPT can now complete tasks on your computer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB6pOolO7io)
