Plan a friend's wedding trip with an agent
The ChatGPT Agent demo has it buy an outfit, book travel and choose a gift for a friend's wedding.
Done withChatGPT Agent
- What they did
- The thread only relays Sam Altman’s launch post, which says ChatGPT Agent was demoed preparing for a friend’s wedding by using its own computer to handle tasks like buying an outfit, booking travel, and choosing a gift. He also says it combines Deep Research and Operator, can alternate between reasoning and taking actions, and should be given only the minimum access needed.
- How it went
- The post gives no metrics or step-by-step outcome for the wedding-trip demo itself. In comments, users describe the shown result as only about 50% accurate and joke that it bought the wrong dress or canceled the wedding, but those are reactions, not verified results.
- Worth knowing
- The clearest practical catch is Altman’s warning to treat it as experimental and avoid high-stakes or highly sensitive tasks; limit its access to the minimum needed.
